So I kind of do this as a hobby, I guess. I just like to sing. And I put something on youtube for a contest one time, and I've just kept doing it ever since.

These are just a few of my more recent ones of them. I've got a lot more on my channel, but most of them are years old. There are two FM covers on my channel as well.

(I promise I sing things other than Britney Spears.)

I've just listened to your Landslide cover and I liked it. You've got a really good voice! I'll hopefully find time to listen to some of your original tonight. If you write as well as you sing then it should be a treat!

Good stuff pal! Loved the Song to Sing cover. Hanson songs are pretty tricky to sing, which I learned when I tried singing Voice in the Chorus and Can't Stop... :eek:

Oh my gosh, another Hanson fan haha. :thumbsup: Yeah, they really are. Taylor (and Zac for that matter) have such high voices for guys that a lot of their songs are in tricky spots haha.

Regrettably I don't know that much of their stuff, but I love This Time Around and Shout It Out. I have a pretty high voice so I can hit the notes reasonably well - even Mmmbop! - but man, the "phrasing", there's like no opportunities to catch your breath at all! Such great singers.

Ah, I see. And yes they definitely have great vocals. You should check out 'The Walk,' it's got a different vibe from most of their other work but I really like it. Really raw. :)

I'm not familiar with One Love but I could become familiar, haha.

And I can certainly do Nightbird. I actually think I want to make that one a little more like, less off-the-cuff and use my school's soundbooth to go in there and sing both the parts and everything, so that one might not be for a while though.

Very nice....when I closed my eyes, I heard a very young Stevie...

Wow, thank you. :)

You will be happy to know that for Christmas I got a condensor microphone so now I can layer my own vocals and, do a cover of Nightbird for you :)

But in the meantime - my first recording with my Christmas present, a little song I wrote the other night.

I'm not Benjamin Buttons.
I have no grand story to tell.
I haven't seen the world. And
I haven't worked on a tug boat.
Nor have I ever been in love with
a gorgeous red head.

But what I have done is wait
patiently for your version of

I recently performed my first live set. One of the songs was an original song I wrote called "Sister Vain."
It was only for a few invited friends but it was a first for me and it was so much fun!

...

I haven't had a chance to go through all of them but I like this one. There's something very "English folk" about the style and your voice. Have you ever heard anything by Laura Marling? This one reminded me of some of her single guitar & voice songs (a good thing!). If this is just a snippet then what else do you plan to do with it? Are you writing more of it or will the arrangement change? I'm always interested in other songwriters' "process".

Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

That's the first verse and then the chorus (the repeated part at the end). There's 2 more verses and a sort of interlude [that's the part I haven't entirely worked out the way I want.. I just know there needs to be a break musically or else it would get very monotonous)... I already have all of it written though and have for some time, I've just got to figure out that one little piece, which is why I didn't record the whole thing.

WildHearted

09-27-2012, 12:33 AM

So, I know covering Landslide is a total faux pas (and I'm a hypocrite because I generally detest any version of it besides Stevie's own).

But it's a crowd pleaser, so I played it @ a cabaret night at a camp I worked with over the summer. There was a 2 min time limit so I did a few scratch recordings to make sure I could stay within those constraints.. just came upon them when cleaning out my iTunes and thought I might share one of them with you guys.

Obviously I had to cut basically the middle of the song out due to the time.

Hi! Your last song is really beautiful. You look so quiet, concentrated but distended...
Is rare, but before start composing, I had lots of lyrics, but without the music. Now that I have the music, that I finally learned a lot of chords, I can't find the lyrics. Why?? An inspiration problem...

So i was wondering, did you try to find a producer?
The other day i VERY jokingly asked Ken Caillat on twitter to produce my debut album and he VERY seriously told me to send him one or two songs, and gave me his e-mail address (shock...but i chickened out, though i'm now working on my songs harder, and i might send them one day...), but all in all i think you have enough talent to start sending things to people. if you want to.

Also that haircut makes you look like Stevie Nicks, but i think it's on purpose.

Thank you! I wish I were brave enough to start sending stuff out, but I wouldn't even know where to begin. I also probably wouldn't be able to afford studio time or anything so it would probably be a lost cause.

Ironically enough, the hairstyle wasn't on purpose. My mom forced me to have the same brown one-length hairstyle my whole life, so for my 19th birthday, her present was allowing me to get my hair changed. She handed me cash, an address to a stylists house, and told me to tell the hairdresser to give me highlights and a new style, whatever she thought would look good. So that's what I told the lady. And then I ended up with this, lmao.

Most people just say I look like my mother, though :lol:

Here's another new song I recorded recently.

Turn away from me, just turn away
All you meant to me was meant for other days
You promised nothing, what did I expect?
Still I could not love you less,
No, I could not love you less

Go on if you feel it, I'll beg my heart be still
It never was the mirror of another's will
Go on if you feel it, and I'll be waiting here

What's the matter when nothing matters in the end?
All our time spent wondering how
The love remains a shadow behind us
Painted in stone on the ground
Just painted in stone on the ground

Go on if you feel it, I'll beg my heart be still
But it never was the mirror of another's will
Go on if you feel it, and I'll be waiting here

No, I could not love you less

Nice song :)! Your guitar playing is quite good, i noticed also. And i love your little sister's (?) interventions.
Oh i know that studio time is expensive, but you know, just getting a professional opinion could be very precious, especially if you really want to make music, like, seriously (do you?).
Also, i think that you look more like Jenny Fleetwood in the 70's. Yeah that's exactly it.

Haha, yeah, that's my little sister. Between the birds and the dogs and the children so there's always something going in the background. :)

Thank you. I actually have gone to Nashville and checked out a studio once last year. A friend of a friend sent a producer/writer they know one of my songs and he contacted me and invited me up there to meet with him and talk about possibly recording. So I went up there, met him for lunch, he gave me a tour of the studio, listened to me play, and we talked some. He gave me some good feedback and wanted me to come back up and record demos with him, but my family wasn't interested in investing any significant amount of money into it.

I think the offer still stands, if I can ever get the money together and get myself up there, I just haven't been able to. But I'd love to do that. I mean, if I could choose what I wanted to do with my life, it'd be music. This is why I've changed my major 3 times in college so far, because I hate everything else I try to do hah. Unfortunately, school is easy for me - I'm too smart for my parents to let me pursue something I actually love. They would rather me get a college education and get a normal job instead of going broke trying to make it as an artist.

I can totally relate to your last statement. Everything is going well for me but i feel like i'm trapped in something i don't want to do, and i'd rather play some music for the rest of my life.
But be happy that you have the talent, that a lot of ledgies and even a producer seem to notice and appreciate. I know a lot of people - and i include myself here, actually - who are passionate about something but just can't do it right, people who aren't good enough.
That means that you never know, if you work enough on your music it might work out (even if it would be better if you could spend your whole time doing this).
I have to ask, what were those three majors?

I applied to college with an intended major of music therapy but I decided out of that before I even got there, so then I was undeclared, and then I decided on nursing, and now I've switched out of that and I'm in biology. The reason I switched basically just had to do with me not feeling like I actually liked anything I was learning about, or that I acutally wanted to continue doing any of the things that I was working on in those classes. Nursing just wasn't for me, I couldn't get into any of the writing of care plans and stuff like that and I struggle with anxiety/OCD too much I think to have been able to deal with having peoples lives resting on my shoulder. But I did like the science classes well enough and they all came easily so I just switched to that for the time being and hopefully I'll find SOMETHING that I don't absolutely loathe lol.

But yeah. So I guess I'll just work on music as a hobby for now, at least while I'm in school - can't really do anything else for the time being anyway. Thanks for the kind words!

Music therapy? There's a major for music therapy?! That's so american :laugh:. Ha, i'm sorry. I just don't see what you can do after that, and it might be a good thing that you changed your major.
My sister is also studying biology after three (successfull) years of studying medecine. So, see, you're not the only lost young adult out there. :). I'm confident that life works itself out after some time. I just don't get why people would say "college is the best time of your life"...i don't like it. I never know what i want, and i can't really decide on anything yet.
But well, back on topic, there are 196 people who like you on Fb. That's huge.

Music therapy? There's a major for music therapy?! That's so american :laugh:. Ha, i'm sorry. I just don't see what you can do after that, and it might be a good thing that you changed your major.

Yeah, that's exactly why I changed my major haha. It sounds like a nice enough thing to do, but there's not a lot of like... demand for that kind of a job.

There's over 200 now! Thank you for the encouragement.

Here's a track that I collaborated with another guy on - he wrote the music, sent it to me, and I constructed the lyrics and the melody and laid my vocal down.

It's kind of rough right now, I'm planning on doing a better take of the vocals and then overdubbing some harmony's so I can send it back and he can polish it all up.

DAMN i love this one! You both did a great job.
I have tons of melodies and chords progressions in my head, i'd love to send them to you but i have no recording equipment. I'm dreaming of a musical partnership :D

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. And, ah man. Well, if you ever get some, shoot me a PM! I'd love to hear them all.

I FINALLY got a recording software set up on a computer. So now I can record straight from my keyboard to the computer for a much cleaner sound, as well as hopefully use my condenser microphone for cleaner vocal tracks.

Just set it up tonight so couldn't do much, but one of the first things I'm working on is a more piano-driven arrangement of Sisters of the Moon. It'll likely have bass, some light guitar, and percussion as well, but for now, here's a snippet of some of the piano I've laid down:

Thanks! I finally got a new mic so I'm hoping to record the final vocals and send them to the guy I was working on it with soon. :)

Recorded a cover of Dreams this morning - rhythm/lead guitar, keys, vocals. Did it all myself but I'm terrrrrrible at mixing so it didn't come out as great as I'd hoped haha.

Regardless, figured I would share.

Simply amazing, wonderful! Mix is good, I like to hear the other guitar on my right ear.
It's a good version, and you have a very sweet voice. Well, I said it before...
Congrats!

A year ago today my friend Chelsea passed away. I wrote a song and put together a tribute for her. Still can't believe she's really gone.

Here's a song I wrote a week or so ago:

You have such a beautiful voice and your cover is absolutely fantastic!
Plus, you look a bit like Stevie when she was young.
I would really love to hear more Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks covers from you.

Hi WildHearted, I listened to We Became, nice song!
I have a little question, maybe a bit obvious. Do you have an HD recorder? I can hear your voice so clearly, and as I said before, your cover of Dreams sounds fantastic!
I ask it to you because I want to record some covers here in my house, and you know, those things about the own voice, the acoustics, the walls, etc...I want to go to a studio, but my parents don't help me. They say I must "learn" to play, and sing too. Well I can sing, but I always say to them "shut up! Maybe I'm not Paige, Hendrix or Lindsey, but I can play what you want to listen! I learned for myself"
Regards and thank you!
Mark.

I recorded the "Dreams" cover using a Sennheiser e835, which is basically like a stage mic. It cost about $90 I think? And I record a lot of my other vidoes (We Became, for example) using a USB condenser mic called a Blue Yeti. It is really could quality and just plugs straight into the computer. :)

Here's something I came up with today. My mom actually wrote the first verse and I finished it and put it to music.

It's unfortunately titled 'Storms' because it seemed the most obvious. But there's no relation to the Fleetwood Mac song :lol:

Storms, they pass and fail
But I’m too frail to take a stand
Storms, they come and go
But they don’t show my shaking hands

I step out on sinking sand
But my heart doesn’t understand
Every second I’m pulled in
The storm begins to sing again

Storms, their rule is harsh
They keep their watch on those like me
Storms, their rage is deep
But I escape them in my sleep

I step out on timeless dreams
That my heart wants me to believe
Every second I’m pulled in
Until the storm begins again

Storms, their winds will blow
But I will keep on going strong
Storms, their fate is known
But mine is an unfinished song

I step out on watered roads
Still my heart beats beneath my clothes
Every second I’m pulled in
But I’ve begun to sing again

Every second I’m pulled in
But I’ve begun to sing again

I've taken on the challenge of writing songs for people I (mostly) don't know on Tumblr... I think I've done 8 so far.

This one I just did today.

Wonderful!!:blob2: I feel like if Stevie ever heard it, she'd really like your stuff. Your voice is totally unique. Your lyrics and phrasing slightly reminds me of a group from Florida called Vesper Sparrow:

Also, I'm applying to a songwriting program at a university and I have to send in 3 songs, so I'm in the process of getting those three recorded somewhat decently. This is an a capella snippet of one that I'm currently working on for that.
