Name: Keiko Takamura - Lovefool (Acoustic Bossa Nova Cardigans Cover) by Keiko Takamura
Duration: 3 min 19 s
Description: I read somewhere (I believe it was an issue of the Disney Adventure magazine) that Cardigans - Lovefool went through iterations with various drum styles before settling on disco. One of them was bossa nova. Years later, I actually listened to some bossa nova and thought, y'know, this would totally sound awesome. And then this happened.

I used this for my Valentine's Date video, if that's okay! And I put credit like 4 times :)

Here's my first cover up on loudr.fm!  It's from the 90s group Whitetown.  Mastered by DJ Cutman.  Original can be heard at http://youtu.be/cIQWt3oMids.

Fablewave EP

FABLEWAVE EP SAMPLER

This is a song about finding the rhythm again after a long time without it. Just like speedrunning platform games or falling in love.

lyrics

I remember when I was younger 
Me and my sister, we used to speedrun 
Super Mario World and Aladdin 
All the moves ingrained in our fingers 
Sitting with a bowl of chips, 
And an issue of Nintendo Power 
Now 20-something odd years later 
We still beat it in half an hour 

It comes back to me 
Like 
Muscle memory 
I can feel it 
Coming back to me 
Muscle memory 

Now that I’m older, I find I’ve lost 
The taste for things that I just say I’m over 
Like emotions, or attachments, 
Or like anything I can’t control 
Of course that means that you would come 
And suddenly I can remember feeling 
Hold down Y and then you run 
I still got it, yeah, it’s in my fingers 

It comes back to me 
Like 
Muscle memory 
I can feel it 
Coming back to me 
Muscle memory 

It comes back to me 
Like 
Muscle memory 
I can feel it 
Coming back to me 
Muscle memory 

It comes back to me 
Like 
Muscle memory 
I can feel it 
Coming back to me 
Muscle memory 

It comes back to me 
Muscle memory 
I can feel it 
Coming back to me 
Muscle memory

lyrics:

We got a hotel room 
We got reservations, table for two 
The city glitters with cash and litter and dust 
Everybody wanna have their dinner with us 

We’re strong ‘cause we’re stable 
We keep our hand 
On the wheel 
And bring it all to the table 
If there is work to be done 
We are willing and able 
To pick it up, til it’s gone 
We take care of our people 
It’ll be you and me, oh 

We are gonna change the world 
Even if we lose it all one day 
We will make the best of what we got 
You'll be Thomas, I'll be Martha Wayne 

We are gonna own this town 
Then we're gonna watch it fall away 
Everything they see, a gift we built 
You'll be Thomas, I'll be Martha Wayne 

I tell myself I got things to do 
But still I’m sitting here talking to you 
I wouldn’t miss this conversation for the world 
That stare got me clutchin my pearls 

Now we’re strong cuz we’re stable 
We keep our hand 
On the wheel 
And bring it all to the table 
If there is work to be done 
We are willing and able 
To pick it up, til it’s gone 
We take care of our people 
It’ll be you and me, oh 

We are gonna change the world 
Even if we lose it all one day 
We will make the best of what we got 
You'll be Thomas, I'll be Martha Wayne 

We are gonna own this town 
Then we're gonna watch it fall away 
Everything they see, a gift we built 
You'll be Thomas, I'll be Martha Wayne 

We are gonna change the world 
Even if we lose it all one day 
We will make the best of what we got 
You'll be Thomas, I'll be Martha Wayne 

We are gonna own this town 
Then we're gonna watch it fall away 
Everything they see, a gift we built 
You'll be Thomas, I'll be Martha Wayne 

May they remember the love we left behind 
May the shape of the future be our design 
May everything that we’ve worked for be not in vain 
And may you keep me, your very own Martha Wayne

Martha Wayne

Ah 
All the pretty forest creatures want to be around you, Ooh 
Ah 
On the rays of mass attraction, I can't help but want you too 

You came along and planted this seed you 
Make me forget the fact that I need you 
No one expects the wolves to surround cuz 
No one suspects the sunlight around you 

I'm afraid and you're a flame 
I'm afraid and you're a flame 
You brought birds of prey into my garden 
And all that I can do 
Is surrender 
What's left of me now 

Ah 
All my trees bear fruit because you smiled and made them sweeter 
Ah 
Are you giving wolves free reign to trap the doves that meet here? 

I can't correct the blood that's been shed 
The predators come and they're in my bed with... 
Your light shines indiscriminately here 
Everyone thinks it's their right to be here 

I'm afraid and you're a flame 
I'm afraid and you're a flame 
You brought birds of prey into my garden 
And all that I can do 
Is surrender 
What's left of me now 

Ah- 
What's left of me now 
Ah- 
What's left of me now 
Ah- 
What's left of me now 
Ah- 


I can't correct the blood that's been shed 
The predators come and they're in my bed with... 
Your light shines indiscriminately here 
Everyone thinks it's their right to be here 

I'm afraid and you're a flame 
I'm afraid and you're a flame 
You brought birds of prey into my garden 
And all that I can do 
Is remember 
What's left of me now 

Ah- 
What's left of me now 
Ah- 
What's left of me now 
Ah- 
What's left of me now 
Ah- 
What's left of me now

Sunburn

I'm running after you 
Busy street 
Cracks on the sidewalk 
Don't even faze you 
I'm making such a fool 
Of myself 
What do I have to do? 

Time moves backwards 
I can't reach you 

I call out loud 
Please turn around 
You won't see me 
'Cause you're looking straight ahead 
I shout you down 
Please turn around 
You won't see me 
'Cause you're looking straight ahead - ah... 

I'm running after you 
Busy street 
Cracks on the sidewalk 
Don't even faze you 
One sunny afternoon 
Spent with you 
That's all I want to do... 

Time moves backwards 
I can't reach you 

I call out loud 
Please turn around 
You won't see me 
'Cause you're looking straight ahead 
I shout you down 
Please turn around 
You won't see me 
'Cause you're looking straight ahead 

I call out loud 
Please turn around 
You won't see me 
'Cause you're looking straight ahead 
This time around 
I'll shout you down 
You'll look at me 
You will 
You will
