    Wow! The guitar part was on point immediately but I was thinking "Please sing it well too, please sing it well too! " and your singing was even better than I could have imagined!
    So many Elliott covers are sung either too "dramatically" or too "dry" but you gave it exactly the right energy and included all of the nuances that make the personality of his songs so special.... All while completely being your own thing at the same time. Your voice sounds like a golden candle flame! 😁 So impressive!

    Stunned. In awe. I'm surprised I clicked on this, because - who can add anything to Elliot's songs worthy of a cover, right? Then you started singing. The lower register, the almost hollow reverb, and the way that you manage to sing behind the note, somehow slowing the song down, felt like I was being pulled along, drawn in, helpless. And the absolutely haunting emotion, like a pain drowned in numbness, just peeking above the water enough to make itself heard. Thank you, so much, for making me hear this song again, new, for the first time in decades. Elliot would be crying. I certainly am.
