Bless the Telephone (Labi Siffre Live Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time.
A "1971 is a long time ago" crack at Bless the Telephone. It's a little hard to imagine someone writing a song about the phone with quite the same affection 50 years later.

If We Were Vampires (Jason Isbell Live Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 3206 месяцев назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. It's been 18 months now since my wife died. I only discovered this song recently but knew immediately I wanted to learn it. As the lyrics say, give your loved ones every second you can find and hope it isn't you who's left behind Guitar: Taylor GT 811e LTD Sinker Redwood / Rosewood Strings: D'Addario...
Army Dreamers (Kate Bush Live Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 13 тыс.3 года назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. An Armistice Day crack at "Army Dreamers" by Kate Bush. I wouldn't normally dare attempt a Kate Bush track but I worked out a guitar arrangement I liked and thought I'd take a chance. Note that the transacoustic's built-in effects aren't being used here; the reverb in this case is from a Logic plugin...
His Stark Materials #1: For Lynn (Original Acoustic Guitar Instrumental)
Просмотров 1733 года назад
Slowly but steadily working through my ever-growing list of incomplete compositions, one-by-one, to finish and publish each of them is a long term bucket list promise to myself. The "His Stark Materials" collection is base camp: each idea captured first as a short instrumental. Note that the transacoustic's built-in effects aren't being used here; the reverb in this case is from the Helix Nativ...
Sword from the Stone (Passenger Live Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 года назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. A glowing-cat-lamps-miss-you-too crack at "Sword from the Stone", by Passenger. For some reason I find Passenger songs really hard to sing and play at the same time without losing my bearings; maybe because they're all Travis-picked thumb-over cowboy chords without much differentiation in hand positi...
Suspirium (Thom Yorke Live Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 3,5 тыс.3 года назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. A repeat-play-obsession crack at "Suspirium" by Thom Yorke. I heard this track for the first time a couple of days ago (how did I miss it?!) and fell completely in love with it, to the extent that I just had to learn it. It's a piano piece that ranges pretty high on the keyboard, and this is necessar...
Stay (Shakespears Sister Live Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.3 года назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. A really-takes-me-back crack at "Stay", by Shakespears Sister. I used to listen to this while working at night, alone in a computer lab back at university. This arrangement's a slight twist on Shakespears Sister's own acoustic version from a few years ago, but I wanted to incorporate the original "so...
John Wayne Gacy, Jr (Sufjan Stevens Live Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 8693 года назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. A look-under-the-floorboards crack at "John Wayne Gacy, Jr", by Sufjan Stevens. My discipline is to try to sing and play everything from memory and I mixed up the lyrics in the outro to this one as a result, but with true dedication to my "art" decided "close enough"...

This Is a Low (Blur Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 года назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. A this-has-been-on-my-list-for-ages crack at "This Is a Low", by Blur. Love that ascending intro riff, but find it infuriatingly hard to play consistently every time for some reason.

I Will Follow You Into the Dark (Death Cab for Cutie Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 3013 года назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. A rollicking-feelgood crack at "I Will Follow You Into the Dark", by Death Cab for Cutie. Such a beautiful song with such a stripped-back guitar & vocal original recording, I just tried to be as faithful to that original as possible in my playing.

Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. A too-much-reverb-but-hey-it's-Christmas crack at "I Believe in Father Christmas" by Greg Lake. Sure, John & Yoko and The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl are great, but this beautiful, cynical Christmas song has always been my favourite.

Gravity (Embrace / Coldplay Acoustic Guitar Cover)
Просмотров 8413 года назад
Some struggle to play. Some struggle to sing. I choose to struggle to do both at the same time. A more-embrace-than-coldplay crack at "Gravity", a song famously written by Chris Martin but gifted to Embrace. Originally a piano-led track, this is my attempt at a solo guitar arrangement.

Gillian's original of this "Lost Song" is just so slow and beautiful and desperately sad.

    B.F.P.O. Mammy's hero. Our little army boy Is coming home from B.F.P.O. I've a bunch of purple flowers To decorate a mammy's hero. Mourning in the aerodrome, The weather warmer, he is colder. Four men in uniform To carry home my little soldier. (What could he do? Should have been a rock star.) But he didn't have the money for a guitar. (What could he do? Should have been a politician.) But he never had a proper education. (What could he do? Should have been a father.) But he never even made it to his twenties. What a waste - Army dreamers. Ooh, what a waste of Army dreamers. Tears o'er a tin box. Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know, Like a chicken with a fox, He couldn't win the war with ego. Give the kid the pick of pips, And give him all your stripes and ribbons. Now he's sitting in his hole, He might as well have buttons and bows. (What could he do? Should have been a rock star) But he didn't have the money for a guitar. (What could he do? Should have been a politician.) But he never had a proper education. (What could he do? Should have been a father.) But he never even made it to his twenties. What a waste - Army dreamers.
