Keywords I wish I had written this song (1), good one Feter (1)

Description I did another version of this one a few weeks ago, as I decided to go with this version for the challenge. Think Feter as performed by the Velvet Underground. I really like the way this one turned out, it sounds like the back room at Max's Kansas City at 2 in the morning, circa 1969.

I really loved this song when I heard it and am very happy to have been able to add my two cents to it.
here is the link to Feters original, which is a beautiful folk song:

	Covering is the sincerest form of respect. Sometimes, I get the timing right. Glad I caught it. It will be cherished. Thank you, both of you. :)

	This is cool Hearing someone else do a Feter song. You did it justice, too. Really sweet rendition.

	davisamerica said 129 days ago
	man michael great choice .... wonderful rendition ... man u just never quit making me smile .... excellent!

	Jim Bouchard said 128 days ago
	magnificent A more obvious comparison would be Yo Lo Tengo, with the vocals sounding much Ira Kaplan and drumming soft and complex like Georgia Hubley, but YLT have much in common with VU. And in the end it sounds like MM. Really superb and you've claimed it as your own. I much prefer this version to the shoegaze version. Great!

	rsorensen said 128 days ago
	letter great job. I'm all about your other version but this is just as good in it's own way. really like that tele. this has a really nice hazy lazy feel about it. great vocals. and hey feter - awesome song!

	guygrooves said 128 days ago
	Fabulous!! Kind of a Velvet Underground meets Blue Rodeo vibe to it. This is a great cover M2. Great song Feter I like your version of it too.

	To Feter with Love This is the purest compliment you could pay to our dear friend Feter. And to do so in such a wonderful way ans this is all the more. Michael this is beautiful. You played and sang the song in the true spirit in which it was written. Kudos to you my friend. Be well and be cool, Ed

	Very nice Smooth and elegant take on Feter's song. Your vocal on this is perfectly done - a nice laidback approach, and a lovely approach to the track. Love the percussion, and the guitar work is sweet. Very nicely done. Peace.

	egobandit said 128 days ago
	oh yeah Im a big Velvet underground fan and this has a nice slow take the edge off my stress feel. Feters version is also a very good song This is a big compliment to him! enjoyed !

	MarkHolbrook said 128 days ago
	A great cover of a good song by a great man, a great MJer... Mr. Feter! Micheal... you did this up extremely well!

	jiguma said 128 days ago
	Good one Michael! After listening to two covers of your songs, I half expected this to be a cover of your own song. Little did I realise that it would be a cover of a cover you did already of Feter's song ;) This is a very late at night, "just one more glass of red wine before I go" kind of version, and I really like it. Neil

	cjdaley said 128 days ago
	compliments to you both. I like the light touch you have with the drums. they don't sound midi at all to me (a typical feter remark!).

	yrp said 128 days ago
	Impressive clean guitar work. I preffer this one than the shoegaze version. Your midi drum work is awesome too and the vocals, as always, are perfect. Of course feter is glad with this tribute. I am looking foward for the heavy metal version.

	HenriROGERsoloandbands said 128 days ago
	Softly Peacefull song , very well sung.

	dirigent said 128 days ago
	Letter of a Heart Wonderful atmosphere with a relaxed laid-back feeling. Excellently performed song, a beautiful tune!! Bravo!!

	five_extra_arms said 128 days ago
	Love it You can just make any song sound any style, any period you want. I like the Velvety feel you've given this. Fascinating. Feter, your original is also a great song.

	timothy devine said 127 days ago

	saymme said 127 days ago
	( : This is a beautiful cover!!! You do this song wonderfully Michael , I'm sure Feter must be thrilled by this ! KUDOS!!!!

	Outtaorbit said 127 days ago
	you hit this on the nose... excellent

	Lennon714 said 127 days ago
	wow I don't want to even think how long those drums took you - but they're worth every hour it took. This is a agonizing and brilliant version of Feter's touching original.

	Rebsie said 126 days ago
	Sweet I love your voice Michael. A lovely tribute to a sincere and heartfelt song.

	saymme said 126 days ago

	LunaTrick said 123 days ago
	Well worked song... ..and excellent vocals that capture the mood perfectly. What a duo!

	Ejh said 121 days ago
	Over the bridge we go... Yeah, if you hadn't said it, (and everyone else who said it after you), I would've said it... lots of Velvets '69 or Loaded...and maybe better recorded... And a bit of Cowboy Junkies a la Trinity Sessions... A very sweet and touching gift for Feter... Ed

	Heightened said 15 days ago
	Fantastic collab guys. Nice and slow too.
