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…
Done as much as an exercise in learning GarageBand on my iPhone.
The backer is done entierly in GB but had to port it out to my Zoom R16 to record the vocal parts and master. Came out alright though I think.
More like a cover of the bauhaus cover of Bowie's song.
Recorded last night in under two hours from starting programming the drums to posting. Recorded for songcrafters.org's Bowie Fest.
Your mention of Bauhaus covering this sent me to YouTube to find a scary young shirtless Peter Murphy singing this. Now that took five seconds off my life, I tell ya.
Um, never mind. Nice cover.
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, ‘cause I want you with me.
Take your time, but hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, for a warm memoria
Memoria [x3]

Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.
Jim did the Lyrics in 5 mins over the net..
And here it is..

Track #3 from the "Someone Else's Hell" album.
Lyrics:
Familiarity breeds contempt
I'm tired of everybody thinking they know me
It's time for a change of pace my friend
A new scene to set on fire again
// I need something to be…
First track I produced on my DAW...just tryin' to get the feel of thing at the time (no manual...well...a manual, but it's in Japanese...so same thing). Anyway, it's pretty simple...programmed a drum track, threw down a fretless dub line...threw…
This has probably the least effert i've ever put into a song , i was sat at my computer falling asleep , when i had the urge to sing this beautiful George Harrison song , i could'nt be asked to get up and change guitars , so using my PRS Singlecut…

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
this is the first track of my 1st solo album "flying solo" don't want to swamp the place with all mystuff so will upload them gradually
written on september the 3rd 2010 this is what i said about the song at the time.....
was saddened to hear…
I wish I could do quiet songs. Can't do it, everyone always ends up loud. It's a skill you obviously have though, Jim, this is just dreamy, I feel like lazy summer is already here...
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
Thanks for the comments everyone. You're right,this is done with love and respect, Joy Division are one of my big influences, especially going to university Manchester (actually Salford) in the Eighties.
It's a cover of the Boston song, More than a Feeling. In a sort of euphoric house style. Which isn't my normal style by any means.
It's not a song which has been a big part of my life, I heard it in the Men Who Stare at Goats film and could…

Comments on odh's stuff
Really good, don't know the song but enjoyed the listen.
Excellent....
Just a brilliant cover of a song that is an Adam & The Antz hidden gem
good cover, odh, I like this song.
Never liked Adam Ant but this is not bad, I don't know the song, seems like the guy gets a raw deal out of it though
Ahhhh....complex without sounding complex...thats a great track!
One of my all time favs, great.
Yea yea, guilty of buying the original, good cover.
Interesting take on a classic Zep chestnut. :)
Your mention of Bauhaus covering this sent me to YouTube to find a scary young shirtless Peter Murphy singing this. Now that took five seconds off my life, I tell ya. Um, never mind. Nice cover.
Heh heh. Great "misheard" lyrics. Of course, I always insisted upon mishearing "memoria" as "mammary, uh!" ;)
Hilarious.
I really like the bit about 1:50. The vocal reminds me a bit of Bowie and early Gabriel.
cheers for letting me on this odh, nearly burst a lung trying to fit all those words in lol.
Excellent you've made it your own.....love it
aahhh, awesome. I'm a favorite-ing spree tonight. Good work, guys!
Classic song - nicely done.
I love this song , great cover , total enjoyment
Perfect, sounds fabulous even without the vocal
oooooooo.......get in......
Comments made by odh
I enjoyed it. Like the bass and the subtle building on the arrangement. Not at all boring.
Really pleased I came across your stuff. You're my new favorite band...
I love the vibe and intensity. This is right up my 'street'.
Pink Floyd, Jan Hammer and Ennio Morricone - there's a supergroup I'd pay to see. Big sounds here, nice production
Something of the Dylan about it. Great mellow feel.
My kind of song. I think you're voice is good without the screaming too, has a kind a fragility which appeals. Good stuff...
Zombie, please, if you're offereing...
Nice pluckin'
Sehr gut, mag ich. Wicked
Great singing, nice cover
Lovely sounding instrument. Could use a flute accompaniment.
Moving piece. The shear weight of personal tragedy is overwheling and your music somehow seems to connect with it.
Beautiful
You've got a brilliant voice, very expressive. Loving the alt-country feel to your stuff.

New version uploaded. Fewer nits
Thanks for the comments everyone. I've got a better mixed version at home which I'm going to swap out for this one when I get a chance...
