I've LOVED Scarlett Johansson's 'Anywhere I Lay My Head' album for years, and I've had this cover sitting on my computer since February. Thanks for listening <3

Falling Down - Scarlett Johansson/Tom Waits (cover)

For anyone who doesn't know, my cousin and best friend in the whole entire world passed away a number of years ago now. Today (23/12/13) would have been her 21st birthday. I recorded this cover a few years ago, a couple of months after hearing about her passing, I recorded this song. It might not mean much to many, but William Control, the original artist of this song, was the last concert we went to together, and it'll always mean so much. This picture on this song, that's the second to last time I ever saw Mel before she went. It breaks my heart. 21 years old today. This is nothing, but I hope it's enough and she would have liked it <3

Beautiful Loser - William Control cover (R.I.P Melissa Bladen)

In this episode of 'John ruins amazingly awesome songs'... Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. 
I particularly like the voice crack in the second chorus because apparently I seem to still be going through puberty.

One of my favourite songs ever by the incredible Joni Mitchell, made less wonderful by me. It's a song I have adored for many years and I wanted to try record a little version of it as it means a lot to me. Thanks for listening <3 

Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell (Cover)

A quick one take cover of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper done in the same depressingly awful way I normally do things.

An instrumental cover of Jonsi's 'Around Us' which isn't much at all like the original.

I plan on adding vocals at some point, but due to a lack of time i figured i would upload the work in progress.

Around Us - Jonsi (Instrumental Cover)

i try to make music with a guitar that has 4 severely out of tune strings and a voice like dot cotton after a botched sex change operation.
