Familiar scent of basil wilting on the sill.
Catalogs. Shopping lists. An empty pepper mill.
Weathered collar. Faded tag. You never could let go.
Untouched pen. Empty page. I guess we'll never know.
No, I'm not the lucky one whose voice…

Ok. More covers. This song has always meant something to me. Probably the same thing it meant to David.
Vocal was recorded while playing the piano so it's a bit iffy.
Here's my "super professional studio" for interest and posterity…

The best covers are the ones that have a unique take. BTW did you know Mick Jagger sang backup vocals on the original?
Very nice interpretation, the sparseness really adds. Addictive.
And thanks so much for your kind words. They really mean a lot.
A night hawk sings. A church bell rings. Echoes flood the night.
A stillness tides past the languids of the park. Then you shuffle by.
Beneath your mack, though there is no rain, your eyes catch mine for a while.
You stop, I suppose to see…
Still learning the keys.
This will be the last cover for some long while. It just seemed like something fun to practice on since everything that appears in my head is usually slow and sad. Now I can practice on something fast and sad!

This is from Dylan's album Oh Mercy. In spite of an intention to stop posting covers of songs and work on something angry and new, I got to the end of this without messing up the piano and only barely mangling the lyrics, I got too excited and…
This is the last one. Letting go is not something I am good at, but this is the last one.

You could feel your mother and your father scold,
But you only regret what you fail to behold.
After all, it was a once in a lifetime scene…

This was an attempt at using the keyboard to make an instrumental invoking looking for something, thinking it had been found, then finally finding it. Or, put another way, this was a way to practice piano.
Hello Mike. Thank you for the tips on miking a kit, tips that I’ll definitely take into consideration.
As far as your inquiry of our influences, we’re three dudes who have all been in bands both together and otherwise since the 1980’s. Our influences are all over the place, but I’d say that pop music from the 1960’s looms large with all of us…me especially. Almost all of my tunes are straight-up attempts at capturing that groovy vibe….anything that the Wrecking Crew worked on, as well as the mop-tops.
I’m a genuine fan of your stuff, so please keep ‘em coming.

I'm not on top of it as usual, guys. But I did manage to let Greg Brady out of my basement and set him free. This is his testimonial regarding the incident. I hope he can forgive me.
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...

I strapped on my acoustic and had a go with this great song. Recorded in one go straight into my Boss microBR built in mic. No fussing around wit this one.
Reg went to a funeral of an old friend the other day. He then went for a drink in the cellar and got chatting with Vincent Price and Elvis about life being just a game that you couldn't win no matter how well you played . Reg started jamming over…
I was taken aback, really, expecting, "The Crying Game." Goes to show you should wear your glasses even to listen to music.
Too clever too be depressing. I like it.
Comments on Mike Denison (Lumberfork)'s stuff
Too brief. Very nice.
Why is the pepper mill always empty? On another note lovely sad song emotion filled vocal with great lyrics
Hey, nice job. Like the harmony on the chorus. This is cool. :-)
This is great, the contrast between the upbeat piano and your earthy vocals is amazing. You have a great voice!
hey mike . interesting approach. here's my version, for comparison: https://alonetone.com/fuzzfilth/playlists/songs/h
Great vocal
I’m liking the piano sounds like a real one rather than midi but I’m probably wrong
For being angry, the light touch on the piano brought a bit of sunshine. That’s the best way to channel all that anger indeed!

Great vocal
Ok, this is great! Your voice is perfect.
Again...soulful. Beautiful.
I'm late to the party on this one, but had to comment to say that I think you really did a great job making this song your own -- bravo!
Enjoyed this one!
Excellent track Happy new year 🥳
Very nice. I admit, it got me in the feelies.
Well done….i’ll have to check out the original, I’ve never heard this one. You shouldn’t curb the covers….it’s ALL better than AI.

I'm creeped out and buying you a drink.
I don't know what this is... but I'm sure diggin' it.
Something so believable about everything here. Great job.
Great tune.
Cool stuff.
Everything you put together is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Love it.
Great sound, great production, great tone, great vocals... great.
This is crazy awesome stuff. Where have you been hiding?
Way cool and kind of spooky. I always was afraid of middle kids.
Mr. Bojangles meets meaning.... Awesome.
I wasn't too freaked out until 3:45 when Chef stepped in. Awesome.
Kept the feeling of the original. I'm a sucker for a good Floyd cover!
And the ending is extra super double freakin' awesome! Great, cute tune.
Fantastic. Great lyrics. Strangely Beatlesque.
Good jam. I really love the running bass. Poor old Mary. ;(
Looked to see who else has a cover of this. Just fantastic.
Touching. You are beautiful.
Great job. I love this, along with Danny Boy. Something about the beauty and the timelessness of both songs.
