Covers and Original Songs
 

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.)





This is one I wrote. Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

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!

Thank you :) I hope you have time to listen!

I could somehow only listen to the britney cover ,i have a internet problem right now.
I dont like britney too much but i loved your video. Its really beautiful :)
You playing is very good. I play keyboard as well but i never covered anything with it. .. I want to upload a selfwritten keyboard song next time.
Keep it up!

Really lovely--especially the original song.

Thanks you guys, I really appreciate it.

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. :)

Here's a new song I wrote. I'd love to hear what anyone thinks or constructive criticism. This was kind of a one-take deal so there's a couple flubs in the video.

LOVE ALL OF THEM! :blob2:

You have a lovely voice! Reminds me of the music you'd hear in the coffee houses, back in the day. :)

^ Thank you :)

Funny you would say that because the coffee house in the town where I go to college has acoustic nights once a week that I've been playing at :lol:

Good for you! I'd stop in and listen! Probably become a groupie too. :laugh:

Wow! Great job. Another talented Ledgie.

What guitar are you playing?

Haha, thank you :) I'm flattered!

Thank you!

It's a Washburn DK20T.

Cool. Glad to have another guitar
player on here.

You have a great talent.
Take requests?

Thank you!

Sure!

How about Nightbird?

And if you know Pat Benatar's
One Love I'd like to hear that.

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

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.

Wow, thank you. :)

Here's a new one.

Don't you go teasing me about Nightbird!
I can't wait (no pun intended).

I love this! Great job! I like the "don't forget to remember me." Awesome guitar parts as well!

I'll get on it as soon as possible, seriously! Like, this week! :)

Thank you :) I really appreciate it!

And another new song.

I guess I can wait a little while...

The clock is ticking...

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
Nightbird.

feedback much appreciated :)

also, nightbird is next on my list of covers, for sure. i need to work out the piano part!

Cool thread!

Great to see other artists here!

Here's my latest original track

SUR ROD - "I'M THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU":

Wildhearted, you have a great voice!

You sound like a young Stevie Nicks!

Nice!

Thank you! What a compliment!

Your songs are also very nice!

Why thank YOU for listening!
