This is a beautiful cover, and an exciting song/artist to choose.

Thanks very much!

[@danolive5307]

The best song he's written since Mercury for my money, and you've done an excellent job playing it here

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Thank you Dan. Mercury is indeed a great song, and The Ascension is his stand out song of recent times.

If there had to be one, then "Earth" is the masterpiece of Planetarium. But to each their own

[@truebluedetective8231]

Thank you for making this cover. I’ve listened to it so many times.

[@GregHarradineComposer]

My pleasure. It was a joy to arrange and record.

[@DeanManring]

I've listened to a lot of songs today, and this is the first one where I forgot I was actively listening and leaving commentary. It's so calming and just hit the perfect vibe for relaxing and actually enjoying today. I can't thank you enough for this. Cheers buddy :]

[@GregHarradineComposer]

That means a lot, Dean, thank you.

Wow! This is great. Could you maybe do the forth of July sufjan Stevens.

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Thank you! I do love that song...free time is pretty hard to come by, now that I have two young kids, but maybe one day I'll find the time to cover Fourth of July. Watch this space!

[@Clara-nk8rd]

This is so good✨

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Clara, you are too kind.

[@clara-nt9rx]

I would love a cover of the whole album. Sounds a bit like ghibli music.

[@GregHarradineComposer]

Thanks Clara. Not sure if I'll ever be brave enough to cover the entire album, but who knows! If you subscribe, then you'll be the first to find out if I do!
