My vocal cover of Abraham's Daughter (by Arcade Fire) minus any reverb/echo.

Abraham's Daughter (no effects)

Inspired by the Wailin' Jennys arrangement.  

The Parting Glass

A cover of "A Mhaighdean Bhan Uasal (Noble Maiden Fair)" from Disney Pixar’s Brave.

I don’t own this song, but I wish I owned Emma Thompson’s voice.  It’s just so lovely and rich and deep.  I couldn’t even begin to hit the lower notes of her harmony from the original, so I cheated and raised it up a bit.  (And omg wee little Merida’s voice is just so cute :3)

Also I am so sorry for butchering the Scottish Gaelic lyrics.  I tried my best ;_;

A Mhaighdean Bhan Uasal (Noble Maiden Fair)

Haha, this was just supposed to be for laughs, but I kinda like it? xD
My cover, but the song belongs to Pixar/Disney.
Don't take this seriously, please.

Noble maiden fair (Wub Machine Remix)

So this song gives me lots of feels, and so naturally I decided that the best way to deal with my emotions is to make a cover xD

Did this in like an hour and a half in a stretch of silence where my cats decided to be good and not run around like chickens sans heads.  Not amazing, but I hope you'll enjoy.

Be still (The Fray) ~cover~

Same song, different verse!  Well, no, actually, they're all the same verses xD  

Now with 50% less filter (apparently I can't leave the echo/reverb button alone, though) and one extra line of harmony.

Be still (The Fray) ~cover~ (3 part harmony, no filter)

Hey guys!  So I realize I now have two covers for this song, and I do apologize, because basically the only difference between the two is the language (and the key) xD  But once I found out there was a Japanese version, I just had to sing it!  This version is called "Inishie no Komoriuta" いにしえの子守唄 which basically means "ancient lullaby."  If you happen to have a Japanese iTunes account, please go and download the original!  It's gorgeous *_* 

The lyrics were transcribed by me (with thanks to my Japanese friends on Lang-8 for looking them over!).  The Japanese version is performed (and written??) by Miu Sakamoto.  Original song belongs to Disney/Pixar.  No copyright infringement intended!

~Lyrics~
いとしい娘よ　いつも側にいるわ
おやすみなさい母に抱かれて
いつの日にも天の恵みありますように
幸多き日々を星に祈る

Itoshii musume yo itsumo soba ni iru wa
Oyasumi nasai haha ni dakarete
Itsu no hi ni mo ten no megumi arimasu you ni
Sachi ooki hibi wo hoshi ni inoru

Noble Maiden Fair, Japanese version ~Cover~

So I hear a song, I love a song, I must make a cover of a song, apparently. Sort of did this on the fly on hot afternoon so excuse my voice being a bit thin at times. I tried to modify my voice a bit to make it sound more like a lullaby (which, in hindsight, is pretty funny, since this song is pretty disturbing haha). Also I changed the tempo kinda to make it more....fluid (I was swaying from side to side while singing, so that might have influenced the sound xD), which I think compliments the a capella version I was going for. The strict quarter note beat from the original only really works with those bad ass drums, imo.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it. I don't own this song, it belongs to Arcade Fire and Lionsgate (probably).

Thanks for listening!
