Hi Tom!
Interesting experiment, and by your own words, you don’t sound quite convinced? I can hear how Theodore has reproduced your vocal style, but I’d have to say … without the warmth and style you bring yourself. I’d be interested to hear a version with you singing it if you have that to hand - but don’t go out of your way.

You tricked my listening. In the line where you say ‘crazy’, I was expecting the line following to be ‘daisy’ not day, even though daisy would not make sense. The vocal timing in …
I never knew it was near,
Your soon-to-hit-me niceness;
One whispered word in my ear,
seems a little disorientating to my ears - but it might be me.

I like the lyric theme - we can sometimes be blind to the opportunities before us, but thank goodness that people persevere with us!

Well done!

Andrew
