5 points @markblack - loved this! Your version reminds me of José Gonzalez's Far Away and has the same style of production. Fantastic!
3 points @stratman3142 - very cool, those walking jazz beats always hook me in and your lead lines on the edge of breakup fit perfectly.
1 point @flying_pie - nailed the ACDC vibe in my opinion, great composition and full marks for the vocal performance, it sounded like it hurt!
Well done everyone else, like others have said, on a different day or in a different mood, my top three could be anyone.
5 points to @StephenB - reminded me of the kind of track you’d hear in Buffy/Charmed/True Blood when some kiss/sexy stuff was about to go down ... Liked the use of the sample too .
5 points @StephenB wonderfully most and very atmospheric
3 points @sticker for the best name and concept (and a great track too)
1 point @poopot for Uncle S on blazing form
Sorry to the others. It feels criminal leaving them out
It actually didn't hurt. I think I'm getting used to that style of singing now having done so many rock/metal cheers. Perhaps I should do a musical theatre style soon to remind my voice how to sing cleanly
