Another version of this was already posted here by the (main) composer (jimbo/Jim Burridge) but I wasn�t really satisfied with the mix itself and the "timing" in particular bc it originally wasn�t done with a click.
No, click isn�t always reqired but since we all are spread around the globe it really helps, getting all tracks as tight together as possible.
Jim played in an open D tuning with a set capo to get this guitar lines, that used to backbone his version. So first of all I had to figure what and how he did that ::) :D ;D. Then I had to play that with click >:D...

I allowed me to add a piano, which now is the backbone of the song along with the guitar.

I have to thank Steffen/stoman, Bill Heinowsky/bill, Paulo for helping me with the mix. Very much appreciated, guys!! :-*

Common Girl
Music: Jim Burridge, Henry Mittnacht
Lyrics: Johnny

(vs)
Sunlight pours thru my window panes
As life outside begins
On the floor, scattered clothes remain
I feel your warmth against my skin

(ch)
Common Girl
sleep-on peacefully
In my poor common bed
In a world of faceless want and greed
You are finer than the thoroughbreeds

(vs)
In time of woe, When I become unsure
An the wrong way feels so right

Somehow you know
An' with your common words
You shine me a brighter light

(ch)
Common Girl
sleep-on peacefully
In my poor common bed

(br)
Diamond rings
And golden things
Are trinkets in your eyes

Your common mind
Is too sublime
Since You see behind those lies

 Somehow you know
An' with your common words
You shine me a brighter light

Lovely piece of work Henry!!.

Very well sung, played and produced. Yes the mix is a huge improvement over the original.

Your vocals keep on getting better.

You must be close to finising an albums worth of tunes?

Sounds great.
Great guitar work...great vox...great production.
What's not to love?
Nice job.
rock-n-roll ain't pretty --- that's why they picked us to play it.

Nice arrangement Doc  :)

Sounds like you have a lisp though - overuse of the de-esser is the usual culprit.  ::)

Other than that the mix is nice

We never finish a mix... we simply abandon them.
You can't polish a turd, but you can always spray paint it GOLD
Great songs are not written, they are re-witten

Frank Northcut, a fellow musician from indimusicworks.com, asked me to cover my song for a cover-a-song-challenge.
He did a great a capella version of Painting Pictures.
I feel very honoured being covered ;)

I attached his version down there  ;)
