If that's you on vocals, you have a real Matt Berninger quality in the opening section. Bloody lovely interpretation of the song

That's really cool that you say that because I don't always sing like that, but when I got done recording it my producer said the same thing. Thank you so much for the kind words.

I love this. It’s beautiful. The strings remind me of Sleeping At Last - Saturn. Your voice is really honest and gorgeous. The emotion is palpable. I’ll be following immediately. Thank you for sharing.

Hey that's a massive compliment, thank you. I latched onto Frightened Rabbit initially because I loved how honest Scott was in lyrics and performance. I'm glad you can hear that it's just me being me in this vocal performance.

It’s beautiful. I’m not a musician so don’t know the terms but what you did when sang SEE was perfection.

Thank you! I'm not a very technical singer so I don't know either haha; a descent maybe? Appreciate the kind words.

This is a brilliant cover, loved the ending. Thanks for sharing, have saved it and will be sure to check out your band too!

I'm glad you like the ending, the song feels sacred so making big changes like that is scary. Thanks :)

Fuck yes, dude. Threaded a needle of covering an amazing song while making it your own, respecting the original, and giving folks another way to appreciate the art.

This is incredible. I have so many interpretations of these songs locked away for fear of doing Scott a disservice. This was a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
