Welcome to my world..Harshan's cover of this Jim Reeves song
Welcome to my world..Harsha... Lyrics & Chords
This is the first time I am attempting an english song. After I came to the US, started listening to retro english songs as it was so rich in melody and was awestruck by Jim Reeves. His rich baritone voice, dynamics which he brings to his singing and the modulations……which is a treat for every music lover living in all quarters of the world.
This is probably the first time you will get a glimpse of my baritone voice:-)
Few of my friends have previewed this and would like to thank them for their time and feedback.
This is a one take recording and as usual there are some minor imperfections. However when I heard it, I liked the feel and the overall dynamics i put into this song – so didnt bother to sing it again. Sang it with my eyes closed…I would dedicate this song as a birthday gift to my wife. Her birthday is on the 24th of sept….
Here goes my attempt at this beautiful dreamy song….J.R we love you.
Please let me know how I fared in my english debut. Headphones recommended !!!!

Harshan,
Great surprise!
My Fav: Singer, Jim, almost everyday listen,
His Songs are ‘Immortal’!
‘Waiting just for you……’,
‘Welcome to my world….’,
’Won’t you come on in….!‘, Great!!!
’Step into my Heart’, that
‘Heart’ can be more deep,
If you put the effort to go a little more deep!
I think, Harshan, Jim’s songs suit you more, Than any other Language and your rich voice!!!
Keep it up!
Expect more Jim Reeves’ Songs from you!!
God Bless you!!!

Lovely romantic treat to Usha, Harshan! Thanks for the special preview – loved it right from first listen. If you get a chance, do make a second voice track with harmonies, and staggered soft bg vocals, will bring this to an even higher level. Your voice projection is superb!
More English numbers now!

Great contrasting composition :-).

It would be really really painful to me if you dont sing more such songs!!!……I am surprised….is this really you????
How can you not cover more such songs?? Dude!! this is your style….not many can cover such songs….not even westerners……Please take my advise seriously….sing some more sinatra, reeves, cash and even elvis songs……we are missing out on many such potential covers.
I meant every word above :-))

Thanks buddy……means a lot to me….greatly appreciate your heart felt comment….have some more of Jim reeves in mind will definitely cover them in future…thanks for the goodies too:)
