Listen To Return To Oz Rock Song By Killick | Looperman

Description : Decided to do another cover, this one of an old Scissor Sisters song. I also thought that my vocals have been sounding a bit too clean/self-conscious lately. So this time around I decided to record them drunk. I dunno, do you think it worked? lol

Cam, so right @ about 1:49 the change with the chord progression is highly impactful to my ears. Then the unison fullness guitar work and strings made this quite impressive. Drum mix is balanced to perfection and finally, the outro piano crowned this perfectly. Another great work.

Very nice cover! Clean sound, good strong vocals. Music sounds pretty on point, tells a story even without vocals. I think you'd nail some David Bowie, Pink Floyd maybe even some Crowded House covers.

Thanks so much. I think I'm done with covers for a while but I know I'll come back to it eventually. Honestly, I don't think I've ever listened to Crowded House. I'll have to check them out.
Danke

in the higher ranges your voice is sensational, otherwise this theater rock sounds too good ... only the drums are a tad bit weak ... on my view ...
fistbump, Danke

I think you're right about the drums. I'm still not very good at mixing/programming drums so hopefully that'll improve with time. Thanks for the listen though Danke.

Listened to this yesterday I think but u know how it is, sometimes you just don't have time or inclination to comment. If you hadn't said I'd never have known you'd had a few! Yeah those key changes must be hard but you've got that nailed.

Your voice sounds very fine to me - maybe you need to drink a lot more and try a pogues song. Not a huge fan of the song itself but you have a lovely sound production on it and it's sounding very polished - It's always good to try a wide variety of styles and see where different genres and forms take you I reckon : )

Thanks, glad you think so. I knew this song wouldn't be to everyone's taste. Though... God... the thought of trying to sound like Shane MacGowan makes my throat hurt lol

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. I can see why you heard the first verse that way. The harmonies used in this song are kinda surprising. More chromatic than you'd usually expect in a pop-song.

I don't really know the song, but it sounds like you were hitting the key changes (which as I'm sure you know is the hardest on the singer), so as far as singing goes sounds good to me. The whole thing is clean and well put together.

I am curious why you would want to do a cover. I kinda can't stand doing them, and if I'm not already booked at a bar knowing I have to cover 3 hrs (so maybe 20ish songs), I don't bother learning them, and if I do it's a very small amount of time per song (sometimes none at all, I just listen for the "nashville numbers" and call it "leart").

Hope that didn't seem cynical or something, I was just curious if it is practice, fun, both, or part of something that you are already doing anyway.

Like I said, good production, squeaky clean instrumentation.

Funny you should ask. The main reason I did this one is because this song just entered my brain a couple months ago and wouldn't go away. So I thought doing a cover would be the best way to excise it.

Also, on top of writing the more minimal, ambient pieces I've been doing I'm also working on my 'songwriting' specifically. Obviously it helps to reverse engineer songs that I love in order to improve my skills in that department. And truthfully I'm not really feeling confident enough about my own songs to post them here yet.

Anyway hope that answers your question! Thanks for the listen and the comment of course.

Hi guy! I don't know this "cover", I wouldn't give you an opinion on your voice, I prefer female voices...but the work seems well done, even "stuffed" lol!

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
