I have covered "Christeen"

Sorry, not a marimba version. Just a straight up cover.

The screaming parts are a little weak, I did the whole thing in a few hours and my voice was kinda giving out near the end. Anyways, let me know what you think.

Cool cover! Not as sparkly as the original, but it has its own flavor. I think the 'Christeen' chorus parts are mixed a bit loud (they sound too separated from the 'that's all I ask of you,' whereas they flowed together more in the original), but other than that, nice job :D

Haha yeah, I agree with all of that. I had it all mixed, thinking it sounded relatively bright. Then I played the original...I was not even close. His mixes just cut like a knife.

Also, the whole middle section that goes "feeling so much better than before" etc., is rather pathetic on mine. I tried forever, but I just can't sing that high, so falsetto it is. Thanks for checking it out though!

I like the drum sounds, and the guts for trying to sing a Devin cover :P. Hats off to that...
The guitarparts are a little off to the original song. The sound is pretty good though. Where the bass? Did you record it or did it just disappear in the mix?
I don't want to comment a lot about the voices, because I can't even get close to singing a note like Devin, but the mixing of the vocals could be a lot softer. It's a shame that you couldn't scream the "SAY YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME" part; it's a little weird to hear a grunt there :P
