An acoustic - electric cover version of the Foo Fighters classic

My Hero (Foo Fighters cover)

Really excited about this track! It's an acoustic cover of Some Might Say by Oasis, featuring the supremely talented teera (@sarasuma) on vocals and shaker.

Some Might Say (feat. Teera) (Oasis cover)

Hey there, music fans! This is another cover track by Teera(@sarasuma) and myself. This one's a duet, a reinterpretation of the incredibly sad and beautiful tune by Gary Jules, which was itself a cover of Tears for Fears. Really happy with how this version turned out! Hope you like it.

This one's an acoustic cover of Everlong. As always, it's a bit different to the original (for better or for worse). Hope you like it!

Everlong (Foo fighters acoustic cover)

This one's a psychedelic / classic rock track, about putting off life for the daily grind and the other stuff that keeps getting in the way.
Hope you like it!

Lyrics:
Out on the road from dawn to dusk
I ain't getting time enough
The daylight's getting shorter and the nights I waste away

Close my eyes and I dream
I'm far away, how real it seems
It's moments like these
That I yearn for another day

Someday I'll learn to live again
I'm saving up to buy back all my time
Someday I'll break free of these chains
Unweighed and untied

I close my eyes and I dream
I'm far away, so real it seems
It's moments like these
That I yearn for another day

Someday I'll learn to live again
Running free through the fields, yeah
Someday I'll break free of these chains
Unweighed and untied

How sweet the crisp air seems
How cool the summer breeze
How good it is to be free
Sunshine runnin' through my veins
Lay back and the warmth remains
I'm free as a bird
Free as a bird

Someday

This one's a cover of the Beatles classic Eleanor Rigby, acoustic fingerpicking style with a bit of a twist.

I adore this song, and wanted to reinvent it, so hopefully did it justice.

Hope you like this rendition!

Eleanor Rigby (Beatles acoustic cover)

This one's an instrumental medley / jam, featuring some Chilis, Bruno, Pink Floyd, and other riffs from the last 50 years. Full marks if you can guess them all (8 in total)!
Answers are below...

I'm a big fan of concept albums that tell a story from start to finish, so this matches that theme - the instrumentals follow on from the previous storyline. Check out part 1 here:

Echoes, Part 2: Reflections

Here's my take on an absolute classic. I love this song - and the lyrics are among my favourite of all time. Hope you like it!

Lyrics (Kansas - Dust in the Wind):

I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Now don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind

Dust In The Wind (Kansas cover)

This one's the first song I wrote (remade after a little bit more experience producing the other stuff!).

It's a progressive rock ballad about the thrill of exploring the universe with someone special. Really like how the instrumental buildup turned out, hope you dig it!

Lyrics:

Take my hand and sail into the distance
Dive in the deep blue 
Follow me, we'll sprawl out on the grass 
Beneath the green swirling sky 
 
You and I on the road together 
Across the fields, through the hills and far away 
Livin' the life, day after day 
Take the reins and run away 
Along for the ride 
You and I 
 
Home again, settle into the empty space 
Safe and comfortable 
Thirsting for more
I see the sparkle of adventure in your eyes 

You and I, taking to the skies together 
Up through the clouds and down into the seas 
Drift into the aether 
Nebulous surrounds 
Into the undiscovered 
You and I 

Sail to the stars on a butterfly 
Settle down on mars just you and I 
Into the great beyond 
 
See the lights, drift away 
Soar into the Milky way 
Float through space and out the other side 

Drift into the aether 
Nebulous surrounds 
Into the undiscovered 
You and I

Into The Aether

This one's a cover of the classic Landslide by Fleetwod Mac / Stevie Nicks.

So many great covers of this beautiful song, but it's been in my head for months so I had to get it out!

Hope you like it.
