Bought a new bass guitar and wanted to try it out, so made this last night. Gotta say the bass parts were easy, the guitar took ages to get right though. Now my fingers are sore.
Cover of the frankly mental 1968 Velvets song I Heard Her Call My Name.
It's a fairly straight cover except for two things. I wanted to bring in some of the feel of Suicide's Rocket USA, also I swapped out the lead guitar part from the original…

More Original song than cover, I think.

As suggested by Haylie in the Songcrafters Suggestfest.
Always been a seminal song for me (i.e. the Soft Cell version). Great to have the chance to cover it.

I've done a Depeche Mode song before but wouldn't have thought of doing this one. Actually the words for this are poignant at the moment because I have a 4 month old daughter…
Cover of the Eels song Climbing to the Moon, from the Electro-Shock Blues LP.
I made a suggestion for Henwrench in the Songcrafters.org Suggestfest of an Eels song that he should cover. Then I went ahead and did one myself (a different one…
"Natural Lovers"
As the sun gradually warms
the cool morning air
crashing waves erode time
layer after layer
and bright bumble bees
multiply wild flowers
Oceans get deeper
hills become towers
I became your man.

I wish I could say that I had a story behind this but I have none :( Thanks to all those that put their input into this, particularly GCD, I cannot overstate how helpful this was.
wrote and recorded this one earlier today. drums and keys on juno di and vocals, then geir took it to another level with his guitar additions.
well nothing isn't happening
just the silence burning bright
the shadow casts a resonance
of the echoes…
watched a lot of silly TV a week I had the flu .... the title of this song is inspired from an episode of "How I met your mother" ... the rest of the lyrics are a mashup of silly nonsence and deep philosofical poetry .... yeah right :)
Lyrics:
home
it's where the heart was
when you cared
but i don't go there anymore
we don't go there anymore
and let's face it
she was never really there
despite all and everything she breathed to me
i thought in confidence because she…

"My Love Belongs To You"
I may not know what I want to wear
or the best way to style my hair
I don’t know where I want to live
but I do have a lot of love to give
I don’t have many answers in life
but there’s one important one I do

Lyrics:
======
I hate you when you breathe. Could you stop?
Waking up is hard to do when sleep never comes
But your ugly faces woke me up...
Callous sycophants
I know you too well to rest again
I'll stay up forever. I'll be ready

Comments on odh's stuff
:)
Wow, wow, wow, wow, and wow!
Yes indeed. Well done my friend. I like the panning. Songs don't pan or fade like they used to.
very fun!
gasoline is better
And another ....
Great cover....
Excellent version.
Just Rock the Hell on, Dude! Great job. Thanks for helping to keep the psychedelic sixties alive.
Nice one!
Masterful version!
That does sound good
Yes :)
Nice version! Takes me back to staggering drunkenly around the student union bar...
It's a northern soul song originally, good version.
:)
:) used to have this, good version.
:)
:) nice
In response to your rhetorical question, not mad at all. ;) I'm glad you did it.

Good work, Trevor. More from the sensitive side
Typical bloke...
Mental. I love it.
Beautiful piece, love how it develops
Honoured to be the first listener to this monumental piece.
Stunning. GWF both. Loved the guitar. And the lack of any ping-pong echo on the vocal.
That's some great song writing there Geir. I love when it kicks off in the middle
Loads of fun. Good songs..
Big themes with a light touch. Speaks to me
This is cool, I like, not horrid in the slightest. "Both clarinet parts are played live by me" - not at the same time though, I presume?
Beautiful soundscapes
Wow, Trevor, you have a happy side! Did you see that film Juno? This would fit right in. Great work.
Sounds like a hit to me. Great song, great sound
Not always sure what you were saying but it made me smile. I hate batman too, now.
Definitely getting Rubicon era Tangerine Dream, which to me is a Very Good Thing. Lovely stuff...
Stunning. Likewise one of my fave bands, and Lamb one of my fave albums. I love this.
Great ending
couple'a dark undertones here. Intreaguing.
I shouldn't listen to this while operating heavy machinery. Alex is right, mental, but in a good way...
Almost a bit Cowboy Junkies in its nudity. Great guitar sounds and excellent vocal delivery.
