So the super talented Avi Kaplan sang this on a live stream in April 2020 and I decided to duet with him at the time. It's only today that I decided to upload it to SoundCloud, though. 

I gave his voice the spotlight and left him as the solo though because I do think it's a bass song. :) Enjoy! xx

P.S. - Go listen to his songs if you haven't already! his I'll Get By EP is out now. :)

P.P.S. - Obviously he has no idea I'm using his voice like this so Avi, if you see this, I promise I'm not making a profit off this. I just really love your voice and HAD to sing and harmonize with you on this classic. Thanks a bunch! xx

Listen with headphones. 

Did a quick (and kind of messy) demo/cover of David Gray's "This Year's Love." An all-time classic. Hope you enjoy. Backing track is a bit too loud, but oh well. 

Lyrics:

This year's love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own too long
And when ya hold me like you do
It feels so right oh now
I start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles and time again
Cut like a knife oh now
If ya love me got to know for sure
'Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet, sweet lies oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When ya kiss me on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't ya know this life goes on?
Won't ya kiss me on that midnight street?
Sweep me off my feet
Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last

MEANING OF LYRICS:

basically the person singing is asking their crush to stop beating around the bush and just say what they want from the relationship. "no more games."

I don't speak Icelandic either but I did my best :')This is only half of the entire song. "Spring in Vaglaskogur." It's a poem about the spring in the Vaglaskogur forest. :)

LYRICS

Kvöldið er okkar og vor um Vaglaskóg
Við skulum tjalda í grænum berjamó
Leiddu mig vinur í lundinn frá í gær
Lindin þar niðar og birkihríslan grær.
Leikur í ljósum lokkum og angandi rósum
Leikur í ljósum lokkum hinn vaggandi blær.

I sometimes try songs in other languages. Last time I did this it was in Icelandic (Kaleo's Vor í Vaglaskógi). This time it's Gaelic. 

Lyrics: 

A naoidhean bhig, cluinn mo ghuth
Mise ri d' thaobh, Ó mhaighdean bhàn
Ar rìbhinn òg, fàs a's faic
Do thìr, dìleas fhéin

A ghrian a's a ghealach, stiùir sinn
Gu uair ar cliù 's ar glòir
Naoidhean bhig, ar rìbhinn òg
Mhaighdean uasal bhàn

I appreciate different cultures and traditions and found this gorgeous so I had to try it. :) <3 

I apologize if I mispronounced anything or butchered this beautiful language, but I thought I'd give it a go!

my version of Noble Maiden Fair (A Mhaighdean Bhan Uasal) from "Brave"

A song about the end of an era. It's about a man who's nostalgic about his time as a bachelor, but now that he's found the love of his life, he's happy to have "a lifetime of laughter, at the expense of [his bachelorhood.] 

Good fun. Not sure if I did it justice, but I tried. 

Lyrics:

Do I look lonely?
I see the shadows on my face
People have told me I don't look the same
Maybe I lost weight
I'm playing hooky with the best of the best
Put my heart on my chest so that you can see it, too
I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall
The lace in your dress tingles my neck, how do I live?
The death of a bachelor
Oh oh
Letting the water fall
The death of a bachelor
Oh oh
Seems so fitting for
Happily ever after (woo)
How could I ask for more?
A lifetime of laughter
At the expense of the death of a bachelor
I'm cutting my mind off
Feels like my heart is going to burst
Alone at a table for two and I just wanna be served
And when you think of me am I the best you've ever had?
Share one more drink with me, smile even though you're sad
I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall
The lace in your dress tingles my neck, how do I live?
The death of a bachelor
Oh oh
Letting the water fall
The death of a bachelor
Oh oh
Seems so fitting for
Happily ever after (woo)
How could I ask for more?
A lifetime of laughter
At the expense of the death of a bachelor
The death of a bachelor
Oh oh
Letting the water fall
The death of a bachelor
Oh oh
Seems so fitting for
Happily ever after (woo)
How could I ask for more?
A lifetime of laughter
At the expense of the death of a bachelor.

Second try. 

Far from perfect. Realized upon uploading the first time that I was offkey for most of the song, oops.

Fear a' Bhàta is a Scottish Gaelic song from the late 18th century, written by Sìne NicFhionnlaigh who was courting a young fisherman from Uig. The song captures the emotions that she endured during their courtship. They were married not long after she composed the song - so it's a happy ending!

Loved this song so I thought I'd give it a go. I left out the last verse because it was really hard.

Fhir a' bhàta, 's na ho ro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, 's na ho ro eile
Fhir a' bhàta, 's na ho ro eile
Mo shoraidh slàn leat 's gach àit' an téid thu

Is tric mi 'sealltainn o'n chnoc a's àirde
Dh'fheuch am faic mi fear a' bhàta
An tig thi an diùigh no'n tig thu a-màireach?
'S mur tig thu idir gur truagh a tà mi

Tha mo chridhe-sa briste, brùite
'S tric na deòir a' ruith o m' shùilean
An tig thu a-nochd no'm bi mo dhùil riut
No'n dùin mi'n dorus le osna thùrsaich?

'S tric mi 'faighneachd de luchd nam bàta
Am fac' iad thu no 'bheil thu sàbhailt'
Ach 's ann a tha gach aon dhiùbh 'g ràitinn
Gur gòrach mise ma thug mi gràdh dhut

Active since December 2018.

I do cover songs and other singing things :)

Everything vocal is done using my voice alone (and featured recordings like in 'lovely' ft. obama). I don't use a voice multiplier to make chords or anything like that - I just do a lot of recording (over and over and over lol). 

I edit everything with Garageband and I tend to use karaoke versions or instrumentals for the backing tracks. When I'm doing my own backing tracks I use my ukulele or my piano. 

I'm not striving for perfection, I'm here just to have fun! 

Thank you for visiting and for all your support! <3
