A good week ago I came across Dua Lipas Tiny Desk Concert.  What a voice this woman has!

A standout for me was her piano & voices only version of Happy for you.  It resonated with me and I had to cover it.

No karaoke versions were to be found at all, so I had to painstakingly recreate - and edit - the piano score note by note in my DAW.  The result, however, is something I'm pretty proud of.  

I hope you will fully enjoy my take on Dua's song - happy for you, but sad for me - with a teardrop at the very end.

Love you all, please comment, share and enjoy.

Anna Kurka - Happy For You

Little Flower by The Putbacks
Lyrics & melody by Anna Kurka


Verse 1

You turn toward her scent, some mossy woody tones,
her eyes are like the moon, they pull you in with ease,
A kiss from her lips and you are down on your knees,
who is this cute & gorgeous Little Flower?

Verse 2

she surrounds you in her honeysuckle sphere
luring you close with that smile, so shy
then SNAP! goes the trap and she got you, little fly
making you wonder why???  - (whisper) Little flower?.... 

Verse 3

Dusk or dawn, is it winter or spring?
Blue, pink, green, twirling in your face
Locked in her hands, a king in disgrace
demoted to pawn by the Queen, Little Flower.... little flowerrrrrrr

Verse 4

You’ve fallen in her leaves, and there's no way past the thorns,
She’s carved her mark - and you're overgrown
You try to run but her poison grips like stone

wooowowowoooo little flower little flower

Love Shack (Cover) – le Chninkel & Anna Kurka

A fresh and playful live recording of the B-52s’ classic hit, “Love Shack.” le Chninkel’s energetic vocals paired with Anna Kurka’s vibrant harmonies bring new life to this iconic anthem. Their chemistry shines through as they give the track a modern twist while keeping its fun, carefree spirit intact. Dance along and feel the love!


Le Chninkel & Anna Kurka - Love Shack

Anna Kurka’s cover -no, rewrite- of "Let You Down" strips the original track back to its emotional core, with an arrangement that centers around piano, violin, cello, and flute. The instrumental backdrop is delicate and evocative, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. The piano provides the foundation, while the string instruments—violin and cello—add depth and warmth, enhancing the emotional weight of the song. The flute adds an almost ethereal touch, weaving in and out of the melody to create a hauntingly soft, almost dreamlike feel.

Anna’s voice is the centerpiece, carrying an immense vulnerability throughout the track. Her delivery brings a sense of rawness to the lyrics, emphasizing themes of regret, disappointment, and emotional turmoil. The stripped-down arrangement allows her voice to shine, while the strings and piano create a cinematic, introspective mood.

The overall vibe is one of quiet melancholy, giving the song a more reflective and personal tone compared to the original.

I’ve always been drawn to creativity in all its forms, and over the years, I’ve found a lot of joy in blending different passions. I create machinima in Second Life, using the virtual world as a canvas to tell stories that are personal and often reflect deeper emotions. For me, it’s less about the visuals and more about connecting with the people who watch, letting them feel something real. When I'm not making films, you’ll probably find me writing and recording music. I love experimenting with sounds, mixing indie and electronic styles, and sometimes you’ll hear me cover songs that resonate with me. I also DJ both in Second Life and on Mixcloud, where I get to share music I love and create spaces for people to vibe out or unwind. It’s all about the little moments of connection—whether through a song, a film, or a mix—and I’m grateful for the chance to share those moments with others.
