Hi Folks.
 Hans published a song not long ago "Your Song".  I thought it was really cool song, so I asked him if I can get a shot at it, try to make it somewhat different, for fun. Hans was super nice to allowing me to sing it my way, stepping a little off from original.  Ray edited some lyrics on this. So I had 2 text versions of this at my disposal. Original + Ray's. I used what fitted better for my range and made minor adjustments, so I can make it work. Credit goes to Hans, it is his baby, I just done vocals and mixed in. Thank you Hans!  Thank you for listening.

Your Song

Nice delivery and contrast in the dynamics between the verse and the chorus sections.

Thanks for sharing.

I think this is probably my favorite of the songs I have heard from Hans so far.

Nicely done, Misha! I like your vocal, especially like what you did during that last outro chorus, very effective.

Hi Misha,

It's a bit strange to judge my own song. Of course my performance is far more better than yours, but still... you've done a fairly nice job! (I had to make this joke, Misha. This sentence was burning in my head...).

But for real; I was flattered by your request to sing this song and you have not disappointed me at all, Misha!
You made it feel as a different song than the original. I told you i was pleasantly surprised by your first version I heard. My wife even more. And this version is even better! I am glad you chose this one.
Your voice is strong and self assured in this song. I do like how you play with the double vocals in the choruses. I will use that one day.
Now Your Song has become Our Song!

Thanks Misha,
Hans

Misha,

This is a terrific vocal performance- subtle changes in intensity and great phrasing.
Nice rhythmic acoustic backing too.
Oh, almost forgot; Han`s wrote a very good song for you to interpret!

Misha,

Very cool. A passionate interpretation of Hans' song.

A strong vocal. The back is excellent. And a solid mix.

Much enjoyed.

I missed Hans' version, and enjoyed listening to both of them.

Don't let Hans hear, but I prefer your dryer vocal version.

What a cool song and a fantastic arrangement! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hans' lack of confidence leads to him half hiding his vocal in FX.
The drier vocal goes hand in hand with your confidence Misha.
This is a lovely interpretation.


Cheers
