"If You Go Away" is an adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song "Ne me quitte pas" with English lyrics by Rod McKuen. It has been covered by a zillion people including Neil Diamond, so hey...why not me? This is a demo I did to show some bandmates the arrangement before performing it at a particular show.

If You Go Away (Demo)

So, I just set up a Shure SM7B, a Cloudlifter CL-1 and a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2. Needed a short cover song to test out the mic, etc... Thus, this is my cover of the Lemonheads' version of the song Frank Mills from the musical "Hair".

I used the aforementioned mic/gear, a 2012 Macbook Pro with Logic Pro X, my girlfriend's 1974 Yamaha acoustic guitar, a handful of Waves plugins, and a mostly empty closet which blocked out at least some of the traffic, sirens and birds.
