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.

A true story about some of my odd dreams If the world's strongest man Could hold the world in the palm of his hand Would he crush us all into dust? As a way to punish us These are the kind of things That seem to occupy me If a giant…

Another Sunday cover, this time putting an acoustic spin on one of my favorite tunes from RPM2010 - Communist Party by the great Sha-Pink. This song marks the first time I've ever used live percussion.
