Staring at the Sun (u2 cover)

Staring at the Sun. I want to take a minute and make a comment that bares little relation to the cover song. I am heartened and amazed by the creative bunch of Poets, Musicians, Painters, Photographers, and all around Artists that I get to discover every single day here on WordPress. It is as if I am glancing into the souls of strangers. Sometimes I imagine everyone in the whole world have a psyche that screams out. I would never know it. []

Seether ( vercuca salt cover)

Seether. Okay, fair warning! This is a 1990’s punk song. It was performed by an all riot-girl group from nearby Chicago. I saw the group in Bloomington at a club called Second Story in that time period. It was written, I believe, by a lady named Kim Deal. So, legend has it that Kim wanted to sing about female anger. She believed she couldn’t describe really blatantly the rage women feel, therefore elected to call the emotion “Seether.” Odd that I do []

Spark (Amy MacDonald cover)

Spark! So considering my last post, I asked myself, What shall I give the family for Christmas? Being deviant in mind, I devised to make a Pandora’s Box for my loved ones. Problem being, I opened it. Raining all types of hell upon myself. The result is my cover of this song.

Anti-Xmas, (old original tune)

Anti-Xmas. Lyrics (written in 1996, revamped just now) I’ve got nothing to give you (x3) Can’t give you what I don’t have to let go Save it, I’ll let you know I reap the seeds that I sow Why do I feel so low cuz..? I’ve got nothing to give you (x3) I won’t scream ‘cuz you can’t hear The words I’ve found so dear And I wonder why you are not here. I don’t understand. I’ve got nothing to give you []
