my entry into the 2008 Sidedown Christmas challenge.
I tried the original Mel Torme chords and version and it just didn't fit for me, so i came up with my own chords and arrangement.
this was done around the same time as g=gone so it's a…

shame on me

your foolish lies

expose the truth now

hey now, you listened quietly
you never questioned, once

hard to not
crawl up under
a pile of rocks and die
scrapping by

swallow my pride

all I seek

waiting for the good fairy to come
replace this worn and broken thing
with a heart that can feel again

so it goes, so they say
he was taken from her that day
and her deep blue eyes went silent
just another sad tale, so sorry…

she tries to push me away
nothing that i can do
so hard just to maintain
and keep my mind focused
to not let my eyes betray
i’m watching her slide away
into the abyss, call it nothing

adjust my smile smooth down my dress
make sure the shoes both match, and leave

No explanations left to give apologies over
She wanted more than the story, but nobody told her
I hear the insane are hardly worth the medication
But she'd like the story just the same, for when she gets older
It's not the end…
Some may say that given time, every one messes up and thinks of no one else,
Sins their sin, their selfish acts.
But you I would have sworn were different, a faithful heart.
Not without fault, but I never thought you would cut me like that.

i'm working on my cover, it may take me a week or 2, it's complicated song, mostly the lyrical delivery, which i don't want to change. everything else though, has got to go.
My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.

If I scream louder
Could you understand

Would it become more clear

Would it ease your fears
Screaming at the top of my lungs
If I scream louder
Will my point get…

My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…

A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.

i don't know if i ever told Tess that's her sampled vox ringing out through the whole tune. the funny thing was she took my song out of 5, and i put hers into 5. we're silly like that.
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…

It cannot follow through doorways, the same way

Merry Christmas to you also, it was different, but I liked it.
amazing
what an amazing song.
what a strange song, I wonder what I was thinking.
the most perfect guitar solo break I ever wrote. love this.
Wow forgot about this one
Love what you did with this Brent. Took my dirge and made it an anthem.
Ah memories........d
can anyone guess what this song is about?
What's frightening about the remix bruv? Is it the way i slowed your vocals down and that?
I agree the My Bloody Valentine reference. That's a good thing, definitely.
Good stuff :-)
I like the band/ arrangement looseness in this one
stage setting intro
the intro is 4 ebow parts in harmony sorta.
Very My Bloody Valentine, nice work!
love the feel of this one - Morrisey-esque - should been on 'Viva Hate'
is this really you last album?
very 10 000 maniacs - love it - Tess sounds amazing as usual
i love this on so many levels

it's kinda already an electonic version isn't it? i don't care, do what you want man, it's your cover.
i'm working on my cover, it may take me a week or 2, it's complicated song, mostly the lyrical delivery, which i don't want to change. everything else though, has got to go.
nicely done.
i love this.
I'm in awe of your mixing skills, you should produce all of my albums please. I love the vibe on this one.
wow, this is different.
it's really about my anger management problems.
i actually had the volume turned pretty low to record this, it sounds big because of my huge nuts.
phat!
this song is perfect, but i'm going to cover it anyways.
NICE.
I'm a tool, I forgot all about this. Sounds GREAT!
what makes this song stand out even more is that it's about me. :(
this is perfect.
smokin something alright
i don't know if i ever told Tess that's her sampled vox ringing out through the whole tune. the funny thing was she took my song out of 5, and i put hers into 5. we're silly like that.
i played this in college. fun.
what a weird song, what was i thinking?
it's no joke.
i agree, it passes the honda stereo test.
