Don't you just want to be softly threatening sometimes? 
Here is my country-inspired scattered version of chloe x halle's bitter yet joyful hit TIPSY.

Lyrics:
I've been crucified, darling
Ghosts haunt me like New Orleans
I've been charged with murder
Need someone to push me further

I'll hit you where it hurts, yeah
If you don't put me first, yeah
Ain't got no apologies
If you lose a life, that's not on me, yeah

Better, baby, better treat me better
Better than those other guys who change up like the weather
It is such a shame that they went missing, they can't find 'em now
Oh, I wonder how I accidentally put them in the ground

I might be a little tipsy on your love
Makes me a little crazy, but so what?
You're strumming on my heartstrings, don't be dumb
If you love your little life, then don't fuck...

I'll take you to the afterlife
Boy, if you ain't actin' right
Key your car and crash the lights
Hit your head, you know I'm not polite

I'll hunt down your family
Let 'em know 'bout the tragedy
Who did it? A mystery
But you know that it, it was me

Better, baby (Babe), better treat me better (Babe)
Better than those other guys who change up like the weather
It is such a shame that they went missing, they can't find 'em now
Oh, I wonder how I accidentally put them in the ground

I might be a little tipsy on your love
Makes me a little crazy, but so what?
You're strumming on my heartstrings, don't be dumb
If you love your little life, then don't fuck...

Don't you mess up
Don't you mess up, baby, no
Don't be dumb, boy
In your ear like a radio
I'm a bad girl
Shake a lil' ass if you're crazy, yeah
We just havin' fun

I might be a little tipsy on your love
Makes me a little crazy, but so what?
You're strumming on my heartstrings, don't be dumb
If you love your little life, then don't fuck up

TIPSY (Chloe x Halle cover)

Ive had a lot of fun with this one.
The cover art is a rework of a portrait by Phylida Dolohov.
Recorded, produced and mixed by me 🎶

In Boxes (Aurora cover)

A little experiment with an angsty song.
We're still waiting for spring here in Mtl / Tiohtia:ke after an April snowstorm, so let me share a melancholic attempt at a cover by a band I listened to a lot as a teen.

The covers I have shared until now are each a part of my explorations to find my own sound. Even though I don't listen or relate to them anymore, I might even find them a whole lot problematic, they are still etched in my mind and end up somewhere in my process whenever I am trying something new.
🌸🌸🌸

Here I was trying to play with a "not so pretty" sound, as I tend to avoid this side of my voice. Rammstein helped me through it.
Until I am ready to share more of my original songs (currently in production), I hope you'll accompany me further on my journey.

Mutter

Mutter (Rammstein cover)

Another toxic love song cover I can't seem to get out of my head ^^
This one also felt loosely inspired by Dead Can Dance somehow.
It is unfinished, as I had learned what I needed to working on it, musically and emotionally speaking. So much growth since then !

Shadowboxer (Fiona Apple cover)


Enjoy.

I run from the liars, the fuel on the fire
I know I created myself
I know I can't fight the sad days and bad nights
But I never asked for your help
You got hurt
No, we don't belong together
So you took the love from my arms
Into the arms of yours
But I don't need a cure for me
No, I don't need a cure for me
No, I don't need a cure for me

I don't like the tension, the misapprehensions
About our nature in love
The glorious teachers are no use for creatures
Who knows how to play with the gods
You got nerves, but they never show
Unless they hurt, so you blamed it all
On my love, the moving
Heart I got
But I don't need a cure for me
No, I don't need a cure for me
No, I don't need a cure for me

Cure for me, please, no cure for me, cure for me
Cure for me, please, no cure for me, cure for me

You need to know I don't need it
I don't need a cure for
You need to know I don't need it
I don't need a cure for
You need to know I don't need it
I don't need a cure for
No I don't need a cure for me

Cure for ME

Cure For Me (Aurora cover)

Originally performed by TLC
Written by Marqueze Etheridge, Lisa Lopes, Organized Noize

lyrics (no rap cover)

A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
So, he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Listen to me

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
But he just can't see
She give him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast



waterfalls

Waterfalls (TLC cover)

Original songwriters: Otis Redding & Steve Cropper

lyrics
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothin' to live for
It look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gon' sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Look like nothin's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm just gon' sit, at the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh yeah
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time



Dock of the bay

Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay (Otis Redding cover)

Originally written by Ann Peebles, Don Bryant and Bernard "Bernie" Miller
Inspired by Tina Turner's version

I can't stand the rain against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Hey, window pane
Do you remember
How sweet it used to be?

When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one sound that I just can't stand

I can't stand the rain against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain against my window
'Cause they're not here with me

Alone with the pillow
Where their head used to lay
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like the wind, you ain't got nothing to say

I can't stand the rain against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain against my window
Just keeps on haunting me 
Hey rain, get off my window

I Can't Stand The Rain (Ann Peebles / Tina Turner cover)

Original written by Bloodshy & Avant, Cathy Dennis and Henrik Jonback

Baby, can't you see I'm calling?
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous, I'm falling

There's no escape, I can't wait
I need a hit, baby, give me it
You're dangerous, I'm loving it

Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

It's getting late to give you up
I took a sip from my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me (over me, over me)

Too high, can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?

Taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?

Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now, I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now...

Here is a personal interpretation of Agnes Obel's 'Aventine'.
To me this song is about following one's inspiration, embracing a flow state of being and doing, being brave enough to dismantle foundations to bring about real change. 
Enjoy.
