This Charming Man - The Smiths
Ok - they are a bit gay but I love The Smiths - brilliant guitarist and bass even if it is a bit whiny and British 
I posted it before with a crappy midi bass line and decided I would have a bash at doing with a real bass. It was a real killer on bass - I probably would have left it well alone had I realised 
It's rough but it holds together fairly well considering I never mixed it as such.

I can't say that I'm familiar with that song or the smiths. Either way I thought you sang and played it very well.
Cool stuff GP.

Fine version here all round, guitar, bass and vocals are all great. Although I don't own any Smiths albums, I am familiar with a lot of their stuff and your cover is spot on!!
Did you do the vocals with a bunch of flowers stuck in the arse pocket of your jeans?!! lol lol.
How about "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" as your next Smiths cover? It's a great song and on hearing your take on this one, I'm sure you'd make an excellent job of it!!!

I dont think I've ever heard the smiths before... I've heard the name plenty of times, and I guess this was an ok tune.
It'll probably grow on me. But I like your original compositions better 
Still, great job on this one. Don't get me wrong, I like it. |

i don't know who the smiths are either. is it a UK thing like oasis that we aren't familiar with over here? anyway i have always enjoyed everything from you and this is no exception. bass was killer and the vocal was sweet. what more can you ask for.

Very cool Porty!!! Not really big on the 80's pop stuff, but i do know that the Smiths we're big in the underground circuit. Used to hear all the kids back in the day talking about them, mainly Morrisey...... You really have a way with the Brit pop/punk/new wave styles..... your production is fantastic, playing is great as always!!!! To me, you can do no wrong....whatever you do, stands above most!!!!! Great track mate!!!!

Wow!! I really thought this would disappear and hardly get any listens!! Thank you all so much for the feedback and plaudits. I really didn't expect them and I am pretty shocked. Thanks again
