I used to play this with Finite Element back in the day. This is a different version that I might say is sounding better lately :)
(bump!)
these posts didn't make it to twitter last night, so I'm updating this one, at least. Today I'll post 3 tracks from August 21st at Weirder Park General Store
I sang this song this way (splitting octaves) for Sue Demel once and she insisted that it should be performed no other way. I've come to agree with her.
An REM cover. I didn't have the guts to go Bass / Lead with the guitar on this, so I'm picking the chords (as Buckishly as possible).
UPDATE: turns out that the old link to the song was not working... oops!
I promised myself I'd post 2 songs today, so here we go .. another in a long line of sun-centric compositions of mine!
I'm branching out with the keyboards & cello, I nearly didn't put any guitar on this one, and the acoustic is wayy down in the mix.
This is a song that I've got on my myspace page, but it's in the midst of some alterations. I'm actually hoping to get an album done sometime soon, so this is happening to a handful of my older recordings (of which i'll be posting more in the future).
It's tentatively called "In June."
Credit, where it's due: I once played a show with a girl who called herself "Rebecca Sometimes." She gave me a CD of her's and I took a liking to a song she had called "In June." That song partly inspired what happened here, but it's still pretty different. I was hoping (once upon a time) to use a melody like she did. Instead I ended up with this, it's actually not a similar melody at all, but it was related to the plan.
I recorded this in my basement, it'll change before it's READY... whatever that means.
