Just some of my favorite songs that I worked on using GarageBand in my home studio.  I have two goals. The first is to continue to recreate my favorite songs...but producing and mixing them effectively and efficiently is the goal. I want to learn all the bells and whistles of GarageBand (eventually Logic perhaps) so I can better apply those tools once I start churning out original ideas. 

My second goal is to develop a better sense of how GREAT songs are structured. What makes great songs great?  I think it’s hard for me to do many original compositions right now because I feel I need to refine my understanding of song structure and composition. I guess, this is where having limited formal training in music and theory comes back to bite me a bit.  

Enjoy!  I've learned a lot.

This song has been a favourite in my family for many years. I decided to record my own version of it for a few reasons:

a) It's one of my Mum's all-time favourite songs.
b) I was quite surprised to find out that my mate Tenille loves it!
c) My bandmate Gogs showed me a killer live version of it by Brian May, which inspired me.
d) I wanted to record a song with an insane amount of vocal harmonies.
e) It's just a really cool little tune.

I started work on this track in the middle of January 2013 when I was still on holidays. Unfortunately it sat dormant for over half a year, as I had to engineer and produce a full length album for my brother in my studio, which took a hell of a long time. Basically any little slots time I could find in my busy schedule to actually get into the studio, were used up on that. My part of it is finally all done now though, so I can get back to my own projects. I eventually got back to this song, and finished it off at the end of August 2013.

Like I mentioned above, I was keen to load right up on vocal harmonies. I ended up singing the choruses in six-part harmony, so it sounds pretty sweet! For what I originally thought was a very simple little ditty, there ended up being a hell of a lot of tracks used in the recording. I was pretty thorough, and although I've put my own spin on it, it's reasonably true to the original.

The song was originally released in 1979, when Rainbow had Graham Bonnet on vocals. He has a killer voice, which is a bit intimidating when attempting to record a cover! Although it's definitely one of Rainbow's more "pop-ish" songs, the catchiness is undeniable. I promise my next song will be way more metal!

Since You Been Gone (Rainbow cover)

Finally got round to making this version of "I'm not in love" that's been rattling around my head for years. Big Boys should cry.

Opening Tuning: CGCEAD - Steven Paul "Elliott" Smith was an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Smith was born in Omaha, Nebraska, raised primarily in Texas, and lived for much of his life in Portland, Oregon, where he first gained popularity.  He died in 2003 of two stab wounds to his chest.  No one knows if they were self-inflicted or if his death was a homicide.

[Verse 1]
A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words I'd never heard, too hard to say

[Refrain 1]
Oh, up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that has been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was so urgent to myself, I do believe
 

[Instrumental break]

[Refrain 2]
Oh, you've got green eyes, oh, you've got grey eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes, oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

[Refrain 1]
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

[Outro]
Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Temptation (Pheremone Dispersion version) (New Order cover)

I'm a public school teacher(23 years) and a self-taught musician.  I currently teach 5th grade at Lake Harriet Community School. I also play guitar with the school’s staff rock band. Most of my experience with guitar has been acoustic folk but recently I’ve started exploring electric guitar. My pipe dream is to continue to serve in education but also (especially during the summer months) play guitar at open mics, coffee shops, parks around Minneapolis.  I mostly perform the music of my favorite folk artists: David Wilcox, Storyhill, Peter Mayor, Elliot Smith, Willy Porter, etc.  I have written a few original pieces as well.
