Description : Decided to do another cover, this one of an old Scissor Sisters song. I also thought that my vocals have been sounding a bit too clean/self-conscious lately. So this time around I decided to record them drunk. I dunno, do you think it worked? lol

Cam, so right @ about 1:49 the change with the chord progression is highly impactful to my ears. Then the unison fullness guitar work and strings made this quite impressive. Drum mix is balanced to perfection and finally, the outro piano crowned this perfectly. Another great work.

Very nice cover! Clean sound, good strong vocals. Music sounds pretty on point, tells a story even without vocals. I think you'd nail some David Bowie, Pink Floyd maybe even some Crowded House covers.

Thanks so much. I think I'm done with covers for a while but I know I'll come back to it eventually. Honestly, I don't think I've ever listened to Crowded House. I'll have to check them out.

in the higher ranges your voice is sensational, otherwise this theater rock sounds too good ... only the drums are a tad bit weak ... on my view ...
fistbump, Danke

I think you're right about the drums. I'm still not very good at mixing/programming drums so hopefully that'll improve with time. Thanks for the listen though Danke.

Listened to this yesterday I think but u know how it is, sometimes you just don't have time or inclination to comment. If you hadn't said I'd never have known you'd had a few! Yeah those key changes must be hard but you've got that nailed.

Your voice sounds very fine to me - maybe you need to drink a lot more and try a pogues song. Not a huge fan of the song itself but you have a lovely sound production on it and it's sounding very polished - It's always good to try a wide variety of styles and see where different genres and forms take you I reckon : )

Thanks, glad you think so. I knew this song wouldn't be to everyone's taste. Though... God... the thought of trying to sound like Shane MacGowan makes my throat hurt lol

Like how that last note holds at the end.
this is you singing a tad drunk wow man this was something else was getting a greatest showman vibe off this great cover also and they way your vocals went up and down at first i thought u were out of key a tick at the bigining then i realised you were singing properly and to key wow again great work glad i listened.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. I can see why you heard the first verse that way. The harmonies used in this song are kinda surprising. More chromatic than you'd usually expect in a pop-song.

I don't really know the song, but it sounds like you were hitting the key changes (which as I'm sure you know is the hardest on the singer), so as far as singing goes sounds good to me. The whole thing is clean and well put together.

I am curious why you would want to do a cover. I kinda can't stand doing them, and if I'm not already booked at a bar knowing I have to cover 3 hrs (so maybe 20ish songs), I don't bother learning them, and if I do it's a very small amount of time per song (sometimes none at all, I just listen for the "nashville numbers" and call it "leart").

Hope that didn't seem cynical or something, I was just curious if it is practice, fun, both, or part of something that you are already doing anyway.

Like I said, good production, squeaky clean instrumentation.

Killick replied 11th Jun 2022 - 2 years ago
Funny you should ask. The main reason I did this one is because this song just entered my brain a couple months ago and wouldn't go away. So I thought doing a cover would be the best way to excise it.

Also, on top of writing the more minimal, ambient pieces I've been doing I'm also working on my 'songwriting' specifically. Obviously it helps to reverse engineer songs that I love in order to improve my skills in that department. And truthfully I'm not really feeling confident enough about my own songs to post them here yet.

Anyway hope that answers your question! Thanks for the listen and the comment of course.

Hi guy! I don't know this "cover", I wouldn't give you an opinion on your voice, I prefer female voices...but the work seems well done, even "stuffed" lol!

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).

Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
