      Great cover. Have you considered having a go at "yesterdays" by GnR, "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner, "Nobody Loves you" by Reuben, "Stars" by Simply Red, or "If you don't know me by now" by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes · 1972?. I reckon you'd crush either/all of them

I lost my grandad , my mom, and my grandmom in a three month span. If ya'll by chance see this comment, could you do a cover of sitting on the dock of the bay by otis redding?

    I was very fortunate to have been able to be taken to see Lynyrd Skynyrd Live at the Fox Theater in 1976 in Atlanta. They became my all time favorite band. It was my second concert ever seen and a huge improvement from the Donnie and Marie concert which was my first. Surprisingly I remember the 1976 concert. Its Surprising because I was only 6 years old. I wouldn't see them again until 2000 at the Fox. Three nights before I left for basic training and 22 years after the Oct 20 1977 plane crash. Excellent cover!

    And listen closely to what I say
    And if you do this it'll help you
    Some sunny day"
    Oh, yeah
    Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
    Troubles will come and they will pass
    You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love
    And don't forget son there is someone up above
    And be a simple kind of man
    Oh, be something you love and understand
    Baby, be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?
    Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
    All that you need is in your soul
    And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
    All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
    And be a simple kind of man
    Oh, be something you love and understand
    Baby, be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?
    Oh, yes, I will
    Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
    Follow your heart and nothing else
    And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
    All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied

    I'll be honest here. When I first started watching halocene, Lauren babic, and the others like this band that work together, I was immediately drawn to Lauren and violet with their dark hair and deeper voices. Slowly, I found myself watching more and more of first to eleven, and I realized this entire band is awesome. Not just the girlnextdoor rocker chick lead singer who is now my super celebrity crush, but the drummer, bassist and guitar players. Your music is awesome and this cover sealed it for me. New favorite band. If I had to request a song, it would be a tie between lonely day by system of a down, or No Leaf Clover by metallica. Preferably the latter.

F211 is my favorite cover band I have ever heard, I have yet to listen to one of their covers and not love it. Way to go Audra and the band! Keep it up!

    This is one of my all time favorite songs because it reminds me of my parents and my upbringing. I’m an old man. I have to say this version rivals the original and that’s saying a lot! Very talented young men and the lead singers voice is incredible! I’m so impressed!
