hey man, glad you liked it, but seriously, don't ever let shit like this throw you from doing your own thing.
people like things, for different reasons.....
and i'd never sell yourself short for doing 'your thing', that someone else may totally dig!
thanks for listening.....

thanks for the props...
and yeah, it took at least 4 versions (demos) of this thing, before i figured out how to make it my own.
the first versions were pure karoake..... and bad ones at that!!
LOL
it's just that, it's so classic, and the original was so perfect (for what it was) that doing a cover of it, meant taking it somewhere completely different.
some people get it, some don't....
but i couldn't stick to the original thing...
and using the Katrina experience as a 'jumping off' point of how i felt about the lyric of the song, and the feel of it, well, it made it more like a funeral song..... slower, a little more stately, and a bit more depressing.
i mean, face it, the lyric is not a happy lyric!!
LOL
but the music is...
and that's a real mind-f*ck.
you got this poppy, up tempo happy music...... and a guy's telling you to get your things together........
yikes.
thanks for listening!!
