In an completely different, earlier song the lyric was "Shiva opens her arms now, some kid's trying to park his car". He must have had the idea floating around in his head for a long time until he perfected it in Son of Sam.
Ow wow, you have an outstanding voice so well suited to Smith's compositions... not to mention perfect guitar. Hope you go nuts on recording these and don't stop, your voice will change as you continue aging... I remember playing my guitar in the car and jamming my heart out in cul de sacs once upon a time... heh...
I'm impressed, most of the ES covers I see here on UA-cam just don't work for me but yours was great-It had his energy and mood but you somehow made it your own as well. Bravo!
your covers are so good! im a big elliott fan and you really do his songs justice, with your own style to boot. your voice and playing are awesome! i think ill watch your videos so i can figure out the guitar parts i never got to learning from tabs. thanks for sharing!
I'd really like to listen to move covers of Elliot's stuff your voice fits it in ways that really differ from others covers it's not too dissimilar to Elliot's style in vibes, but it definitely has it own quality. Great work genuinely.
Hey Ashton, I’ve spent decades strumming and singing Elliott’s tunes. You are amazing with fabulous technique coupled with a silky soft voice with delicate tones of vibrato on certain phrasings. I liked and subbed 10 seconds into your second song and when I saw your channel was full of Elliot’s covers. ❤ Is it just me or getting really close to Elliott’s music when performing do you think it’s never good enough and devalue the performance the way he did. I don’t know , I do. I try to play them blindfolded also. I also really try my hardest to sound as close to him as possible … I try this with many artists. I really try to harness them within. The chase does something to me internally. Do you or have you ever felt that as good as you get it’s just not Elliott. There was just such a way about him. Thanks for the tunes, keep jamming them on here and enjoy your musical journey in the car. I might adopt your “get lost”in the motor with guitar. Best, Mike 🫡
i definitely try to get as close as i can to elliott; with my voice i find myself adopting certain inflections and with the guitar certain dynamics. then the chase ends, and it becomes your own thing (sorta)! immense props to you for the blindfold too hahahah 🧑🦯 thx so much for listening, subbing, and leaving such a thoughtful comment!
"Shiva opens her arms now to make sure I don't get too far" Is one of the most vividly visual lyrics I've ever heard written in any song.
@pmsmoke Such humble talent

The best cover of this song that I've heard!
Holy smokes I usually hate ES covers but you absolutely nailed it! Impressive.

Im a huge fan of elliot until the end , but in some ways you sing his songs better than he did 😅
Love your cover of the song! Would you be interested in doing a song together?
tuning?
im a whole step down (DGCFAD) but rly you can get away with doing this in standard!
@@ashtonblaiir thank you sm! you're amazing
love the car vibes! also not to sound weird but the way you you sing is very satisfying to listen to; beautiful performance!
