My really rough Pink Floyd cover!

Been learning how to play and sing this song for about a week now. My singing is terrible and my singing whilst playing is even worse but I loved this song so much I had to try and do a cover.

This song is by Pink Floyd and it is called 'Time'.

I welcome any constructive criticism and if you wish to hear the proper version (With band possibly) when it is finished then let me know here and I will private message you once its done.

Don't expect anything special it really is horrible! If I only inspire someone to check out Pink Floyd for the first time I will be happy.

Its not too bad. Better than I can do

Pink Floyd has some of the best music of all time in my opinion. Its good to see others enjoying it too.

I honestly don't know where I would be without Pink Floyd!

Couldn't have put it better myself!

Nice - I liked it.

Good effort, you shouldn't rag on yourself - your singing matches up well with your playing.
Some hints (I've played this song in cover bands before on bass):
Learn the chords to the end of the verse, they're a bit odd as I remember. (the "every year is getting shorter part")
Your voice would sound better if you sat up straight and concentrated on projecting your voice.
When you lay back on the couch it compresses your diaphragm making it harder to breathe.

If you're not comfortable singing because some it's too high just tune your guitar down 1/2 or maybe even a whole step. That's a trick many bands use to bring songs with high range vocals down a bit.

Keep working on it, if your guitar player can pull off the lead then the skies the limit.
There's always folks here that want to hear people's efforts at songs,
by all means post it again if you'd like.
