Long Black Vail (Cover) | by: @jgvinstl
YYESSSSSSSSSS what a cover of such a classic Johnny Cash tune.
Love the passion in your vocals (especially around 3:09 and 4:31) and how incredibly you deliver them. What a range you show.
You had me snapping and singing along with you.
And that guitar so smooth and hits the soul.
Appreciate you sharing this live performance with the community. Excited to listen and watch more "JGV Sings It."
Thanks again for this soothing cover.

Whattttttt yessssssssss.
What an incredible integration of music and poetry @rok-sivante and @yahialababidi created with this one.
@yahialababidi hits the soul with his spoken poetry speaking about the human existence. What a way to bring awareness to certain attributes of this life.
And @rok-sivante creates such amazing vibration raising music [that 432 Hz :)] to reiterate the soul resonating message of this creation.
So many cool sounds integrated in this tune from that sound you bring in at 0:11 to that instrument you bring in around 0:37.
I feel absolutely incredible after listening this multiple times. Medicine for the soul right here.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to create this collaboration and share it with the community to enjoy and help heal.

Your voice o my how incredible and the lyrics are so vivid you can definitely envision that cabin out in the middle of nature.
"Winter's long my dear..."

Thank you for creating such a vivid atmosphere with this tune what talent and passion you have.

Wow wow what an experience you put us through with this beat.
You start off with that soothing ocean waves and then here comes those synths and energy. Absolutely love how you integrate your brand of energy and synths with those ocean waves.
Such a cool distinct sound you bring in around 1:17 it would no doubt get the club jumping.
If you need some energy this to this tune and it will be your coffee. And what a creative cover art and title as well you go @inthenow.
Thanks for sharing such a high-quality audio production with the community. My ears are very happy right now :)
