Creep - Radiohead

Radiohead - No Surprises

Radiohead/ Let Down,

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Do you think of me in paradise?
Do you tell yourself a lie
Just to feel something?
Is it warm there in paradise?
Do you stay there just to hide
And feel nothing?
 
[Verse 2]
And when the truth becomes untrue
You wonder why you feel so blue
Do you still love me?
And when your skin turns shades of gray
You look in mirrors every day
Do you still love me?
 
[Chorus]
The things that hurt the most
Are things I never told you
The dreams you never sold
And the ways I never chose you
The life that we could lead
And the death of our virtues
You want to walk away but baby I can see it hurts you
 
[Verse 3]
Have you grown sick of paradise?
Do you wish you never died?
Do you feel nothing?
And when the day turns into night
Do you stay there just to hide
And feel nothing?
 
[Verse 4]
The time will come to be reborn
You'll pick a body you'll adorn
And I'll still love you
And when your heart bleeds shades of red
You’ll wish you’d stayed in bed
And I'll still love you
 
[Bridge]
I'm alive and
I'm alone
I survived
heart turned to stone

[Chorus]
The things that hurt the most
Are things I never told you
The dreams you never sold
And the ways I never chose you
The life that we could lead
And the death of our virtues
You want to walk away but baby I can see it hurts you

[Verse 5]
Where were you when I was king round here?
When I ruled pain and masked the fear
Did you feel nothing?
I wore my crown of quiet rage
Trapped myself inside a cage
still you said nothing

I built a world on shattered ground
You never heard a single sound
When I was breaking
Now all that’s left is smoke and glass
A fleeting reign that couldn’t last
A heart still aching

[powerful instrumental]

[Bridge]
I'm alive and
I'm alone
I survived
heart turned to stone
I'm still breathing
On my own
Oh for reasons
I'll never know….

[Final chorus]
The things that hurt the most
Are things I never told you
The dreams you never sold
And the ways I never chose you
The life that we could lead
And the death of our virtues
You want to walk away but baby I can see it hurts you

voted Britains favourite Abba song of all time. No doubt their most emotive lyric

The Winner Takes it All

I do love me some classic Billy Joel!

This was a very quick one. I took a grand total of two hours to do the backing track, record (two takes) and mix it. I admit to a little laziness - most of this is from the second take but there's a couple of bars punched in from the first. The song is a little high for me and I'm not entirely happy with the harmonica patch I used (need to fiddle with the attack for the short notes) but given how quickly I put it together I think it turned out pretty well!

I also tried taking the base off my Yeti and holding it. I think it sounds better and it makes for a nicer performance, but I did have problems with very high levels even with the mic's gain set to minimum. I think on balance it's an improvement, though. It gives me a bit more control.

I recorded this after my audition for the Gondwana Chorale today. Getting to and from the venue on public transport was... an adventure, shall we say... so I needed something to do to relax! The Gondwana Chorale is one of the Gondwana Choirs and auditions nationally each year. If you live in Australia and are into choral singing, you should audition - I totally recommend it! I've sung with them in a few previous seasons and it's always a lot of fun. They have a YouTube channel here:
