Beautiful cover Jon.  I've saved it to my Dec Freak Radio playlist alongside the original :)

Brilliant singing!!! Nice song, fantastic performed! Lets call it the Lock-sound!!

Yeah, a great song, alright. Fabulous chords and lyrics and love the feeling you've put into your wonderful cover.

The original is gorgeous (just listened), so I guess this must be ubergorgeous.

mindblowingly imaginitive treatment. i just checked. love them both.

It is a fine song and you give it such a punchy make over

I wrote what's below before Mahan put up, for public, the original. 
Here it is: https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan/moonballad-toxic-daisies?in=mahan-mahan/sets/jon-lock-vs-mahan-mahan
I few weeks ago I heard this track https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan/disco-junkies-1-1-1 and was just floored, mostly by that bass line. Anyway after https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan and I had enjoyed each others music and exchanged some ideas and pleasantries Mahan came to me with the Idea of me covering a song by his former band The Toxic Daisies. I think he'll post the original as a public track again but for now the link he provided to me is private. The original is from the 90's(I think) and in a punk/grunge style. I shifted it into a sort of 60's pop and altered the harmonies just a bit but stayed true, for the most part to the original chords, arraignment, tempo and tried to use the exact lyrics as I heard them. It's a wonderful song and a couldn't be more flattered that Mahan asked me to recreate it.

Moonballad (Toxic Daisies cover)

I'm a conceptual musical artist but the concepts are vague and I'm not willing to explain them.
