Hi. This is a really good cover of a truly great song.

Your voice is excellent but doesn't have the weird and powerful edge of Beth Gibbons. She's got some disturbing menace and pain in her voice. That makes it kind of special though it can also get a bit grating at times (especially on a track that's not so good).

But I can't fault most of the singing except for 1:44 where the volume you're singing at overloads the mic and introduces clipping.

Lots of your phrasing I like a lot.

2:52 good job in mimicking the vocal effect of the original. Good attention to detail there.

Overall - an excellent cover that's very close to the original without trying to sound quite like Beth Gibbons.

Hey Carole, haven't seen you around for some time so i thought i'd pop over and check out your tunage.
I always loved the original of this track and you've nailed this cover of it.
Flawless from start to finish and it takes me back to the ninetys which was probably the best time of my life (for now)
Anyway, hope you're ok and it would be nice to see you on the site again.

Hi Janis,
Again a good one... one thought: since it is obvious that you like Portishead, have you considered posting the vocal tracks of the two covers to see if someone could make a different music for them?
I don't think it can be possible to make a better version than the original, but for sure it can be something different and still very interesting.
Ciao, Domenico

PS: did I mention that I really love your voice? :-)

What a woman!! Truly amazing you are :) I like how this sounds overall. Chilled pace, open for poetry in expression of the lyrics and feeling you have to hold it. This is nice cover track, haven't checked out the original yet. I like this style of you Carole. This tone I favor of your musical abilities. Paints the picture vivid but leaves me in deep thought about you as the character of the song. You really can sing just about anything, wow. Thanks for sharing this with us, I enjoyed the listen. The music background and your voice are meant to be in my opinion. Great job Carole. Keep making music please ;) Peace.

I'm blushing when I read your comment, Billy ! Even if I wanted to, I could never match Portishead's talent and expressiveness ...
Just did it for fun, with a "nasal" voice because of a cold ( sorry for that ) and my budgerigar doing the background vocals as always ! lol
In any case, I love your enthusiasm my Billy and the way your supportive words always put a good deal of joy into my heart .
I'm very happy you came over,
Big kisses ;))

Nice job singing, I like the effects on the vocals. Nice song, not familiar with the original so I'm not biased when I say this is nicely put together!

Description : messed around on my piano, came up with a good idea, and put it in fl studio. I think it turned out pretty great. It would be awsome to get some vocals to this. if you do, feel free to change up the title or whatever. tempo is at 105 if ya need to know. review it and enjoy.
