Description : Here is a more modern cover of the classic Melanie Safka song that I loved as a child. Her voice was strong and haunting at times and her songs were powerful like her hit Lay Down. Look what I did to her song, electric guitars and harmonica, oh my.

I had a listen to the original it was perfect for that time and still now I guess depending on who's listening but your version is absolutely *ROCKING* as always nice rendition here, the one thing I like is hearing updated versions of songs from an era gone by and you definitely did it justice! your vocals are compelling as ever and love that grit in your voice, it;s all yours, yep, liked every thing about this... got me thinking...your vocals would sound awesome on the song "Diamonds And Rust" heard it by both Joan Baez/Judas Priest such a beautiful song which I myself have recorded before. GREAT! Work!
Scrolling thru the comments as I started listening, saw the link to the original so had a listen. I really like both! Your vox performance on this one is great. Is it just the two main guitar tracks? Sounds really fat and wide.
Hi
I also started listening to the original first.
She has a beautiful voice but only uses guitar.
Personally, I find it quite boring.
But you have made a very nice cover of it with beautiful music that makes listening more pleasant.
That's what I would recommend, watch her vid first then check out my version. Here is the studio version of this song, there is quite a bit of instrumentation, to me has a gypsy or bohemian feel to it. I love it, blew me away as a 6 or 7 year old, same as her other hits.
great cover Wayne love the title i dont know it but i'll take Bou's word this is better than the original. great old school feel great guitar and the harmonica is fly bro excellent folk rock
I like her music, she was talented and unique in her approach to songwriting. You might know here song Brand New Key, been in some movies and quite a popular song if you know your music history.
Haha I didn't know the original and didn't know that was an actual title.
I think your version is better than what she did with it!
I was looking forward to hearing you sing in French though ;)
I was thinking about singing the French parts but decided to do the version where she sings the na, na, na's. I took 7 years of French in high school and college so I have some practice with the French accent, oui.
Thanks!

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : This song was not supposed to be the fourth track of "Diverse waves", but it finally is. Anyway it's a rock oriented track with some interesting sounds. I hope you like it. Worked in zenbeats DAW, by Roland.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
