Living room , Grouper cover quiet version

An intimate, stripped back piano and vocal cover of Shake Off The Rain by The Paper Kites.

This is an early attempt at the song on piano; but I really liked the atmosphere that came out of it so I decided to share it. The whole thing is recorded live in one take; just voice and piano; so there are small imperfections here and there but it keeps that feeling of a first sketch captured in the moment rather than a polished studio version.

I play it slightly slower than the original with a few pauses and stops; letting some lines hang in the air and placing a bit more emphasis on different parts of the vocal phrasing. The idea was to make it feel like quietly singing to one person in a small room; keeping everything soft and close while the harmony stays fairly true to the original.

Recorded in London on a baby grand as part of the Rita Road Sessions. No heavy production; just a warm room sound; a relaxed vocal and the sense of watching the rain outside the window. If you like indie folk; rainy day songs and minimal piano vocal covers; I hope this version keeps you company for a while.
