Hey M.O.S.P I'm loving the groove.Your style really reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on it. I really can't believe how different these all are. Bloody excellent mate, such a different slant to how I've done it, and how Michael did his.

Great stuff  ;D ;D ;D

Another great interpretation, so different, like all of them. I cant beleive how different everyone approaches the same set of lyrics. Very enjoyable listen MOSP.

Great stuff , the bob dylan version  :D

it is interesting how different they all are , and lets not forget , this is about the approach and style

rather than the recording and production side of things .

well done mate  ;D

Cool musical style you picked here, was all the time expecting a mouth organ to set in, would go great with this !
Doubled vocals sound great too, and the guitar playing gives a certain sentimental aspect to this (the guitar intro sounds kinda familiar, can't tell you why though)
Nice work you did here ! :)

Once again, a very different entry.  It's intriguing to hear the different interpretations from each writer.  This is a very minimal approach with the marriage of lead and backing vocals being a particular highlight. 

Well done!

As a framework this is great. The chorus is walking a fine line between catchy and twee however, so I'd be careful when developing this. The // I VI V //is a dangerous road if taken the wring way. I like the melody there so perhaps you are safe!

The melody elsewhere meanders a little for me. Once you have it distilled it may prove to be a grower.

The vibes are great in general

Took me a couple of listens to get into. I think it was the harmonies. I didn't grasp the melody at first listen.
 But despite that It does work quite well once I got into it.  8)

Are you going to develop it further?

sounds real

I will echo ANDY5544 ..you have your own interpretation going on here..and i can hear where your going with this..although as you admit it`s not complete...it could be a Bob Dylan song with the right production ..in fact it could be a top song in this competition if done right ....
