    Is that your bullet hole in that cactus, Paul?? 😂

    What an enjoyable SFX-and-tuba-laiden cover! Love the applause and ambulance, and the reverb tail ending was 👌.

    Ah, yeah! Love this short Tiktok-friendly cover, Paul.

    It’s pretty over the top with the tuba in a fun way. haha.

    Not sure if you’re looking for feedback or just sharing for fun, but if so… my main note might be to add a little verb, or slap and tape on the vocals. Sounds too pristine to my ears, especially as I’ve listened to the original 5bazillion times.

    Compelling recover cover. Not sure the cactus would agree with the message of the song. ha.

      Jeremy,

      That offering was certainly just-for-fun but your “too pristine” comment struck a chord for me regarding reverb. Having fought the battle of mixing in reverberant, hostile, acoustic environments for so long trying to achieve the acoustic equivalent of photo realism that when I have the bone dry, highly intelligible possibility available, I lean into it.

      Perhaps I should make friends with impressionism.

      I was off grid for a solid month and see you have a new song up. I’ll give a listen as i catch up on things and especially my lawn.

    No cacti (?) were harmed in taking of this photograph. It’s a found prop in the parking lot of the hotel.
