just posting this cover i did of lua by bright eyes. ive been sitting on it for a while. i started making this just to test out using the cascade fathead and tlm 103 together with lots of vocal layers and it sounds pretty cool despite the obvious phasing issues. thx 4 listening.

the moth (2017)

being comfortable is such a scary thing
i always thought growth would come from 
building, brick after brick, until i saw what i liked
but when you’re building something this big
it’s kinda hard to see what you’re doing 
until you take a step back
 
it took me a while to take a step back
slaving away at every detail without really seeing
took its toll on me 
walls this tall covered up the moon and the sun.
my eyes got tired. my mind got tired. 
i fell off the top of my pseudo-brickwork masterpiece 
and was finally able to see what this crazy thing i’ve been building for years actually looked like
and i hated it.
and i was scared and i didn’t know where to go
i was so good at building up up up
i was comfortable building up up up
but now all i wanted to do was run
someone kind told me to analyze the brickwork
remember why every single one was placed
and what it took to place it 
and once i knew why, to take the brick and throw it away
Deconstructing with my bare hands, until i saw what i liked 
until i saw what i learned 
until i saw who i was
 
now i know that sometimes growth comes from letting go
and sometimes the walls you build not only keep others away from you
but keep you away from you
getting comfortable is scary
staying comfortable is scarier
 
I tore down the walls
I threw out the comfort that i had grown around my pain
I took a step back
I disappeared for a while 
 
And now it’s time to be ready
The grass is growing up through the cracks in the concrete
Sowing the earth and seeing what else it can make
The same land that held that brickwork marvel
Was now lush, green, and flourishing
The seed planted in my head became a forest
 
As the moon pulls the tides
The coming and going, the fall and rise
I’ll reappear and uncover my eyes
Preparing to see the sun

if you haven't listened to paramore's new self-titled album yet, you really should. it's great. i picked up my uke and learned this little song this morning and decided to record it. why not? sorry my mic is low quality. enjoy.

COVER  // interlude: moving on by paramore

another mediocre cover song. this is from Vampires Will Never Hurt You by My Chemical Romance, off their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. i should try harder... i just always get bored then try to get it done as quick as possible..
