the Weekenders (cover)
the Weekenders. Just for your information, this is a lot less edgy than what I have been posting lately. It is a charming acoustic pop song in the vain of NERD ROCK. I dig that the fellows who wrote this are middle aged as I am. (lyrics) There was that whole weird thing with the horses I think they know exactly what happened, I don’t think it needs any explaining I’m pretty sure I wasn’t your first choice I think I was […]
Ask Her for Adderall (the hold steady cover)
Ask Her for Adderall! Adderall is a prescription drug that is used on children and adults who suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder. It seems to be a fun drug that parents use to dope up their kids. It is amphetamine and opium all wrapped up into a neat little pill. I suspect that parents get the script for the kids, and take it for themselves. So my cover here is at a tempo so fast, that it sounds like I am careening […]
Dirge on Two (original instrumental music)
Dirge on Two. Morbid sounding enough to be considered Gothic Rock?
Old Enough (raconteurs cover)
Old Enough. lyrics You look pretty in your fancy dress But I detect unhappiness You never speak so I have to guess You’re not free. There, maybe when you’re old enough You’ll realize you’re not so tough And some days the seas get rough And you’ll see You’re too young to have it figured out You think you know what you’re talking about You think it will all work itself out But we’ll see When I was young I thought I knew […]
Hands (raconteurs cover)
Hands! I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO LISTEN TO THIS. I am proud of my singing on this. Pats himself on the back. (lyrics) Girl you got those hands that heal Help me get in touch with what I feel Cause you understand and you sympathize And you know me best it’s no surprise When you’re with me there’s a light and I can see my way When you speak to me it’s a song and I know what to say Girl you […]
Dream On (cover)
Dream On. (lyrics) Oh me, oh my, I’m running out of batteries I’m hanging from the ladder The tears you cried are only meant to flatter me That shit don’t matter at all, taking the shots as I fall Watching the wheels that go round and round Serene in the air ’cause I love you lady I dream on, ohhh, ’cause that songbird singing Shout it out for me, shout it out for me, so come on now One day at a […]
Treat Me Like Your Mother (dead weather cover)
Treat Me Like Your Mother. In the last post, I mentioned that I would do the A-side of the release of the 45 that had “You Just Can’t Win” as the B-side. This is it. I do not have a moog synthesizer and also it is the middle of the night. I gave it my best effort. My fave line in the song is, “You blink when you breathe and you breathe when you lie.” I am guilty of that. (lyrics) Don’t […]
You Just Can’t Win (dead weather cover)
You Just Can’t Win. This song was the B-side on a 45 the band released. I can hear the reason behind the decision. There is an aspect to the tune that reminds me of old late 1950’s records. Hopefully tonight, I will play the A-side. (lyrics) One more coffee, one more cigarette One more morning trying to forget. If I had the chance To join your dance I wouldn’t like to bet, on you yet. It’s a shame, Ain’t natural for you, […]
