Marina - Covers

This cover was made in GarageBand using the guitar covers found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBb_PuhFw0Q and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaCtGKFK3no. I also used a loop of a Didgeridoo and various effects. The original by placebo can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_8MsPNp4ws. One change I made to the lyrics is singing "I'm all wrapped up in my addictions" as Brian did in live shows (instead of "I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition"). This was a hard one to get right because it was less about screaming and more about emotions and a softer voice. 

Marina - "I Know" (Placebo Cover)

VOCALLY MY BEST ONE YET! Third song I recorded. I created this track using Garageband, 2 backup vocals of me in addition to my main vocal, and a loop of an electric guitar. The main guitar cover of Placebo's Kitty Litter was done by KingsOfMedicine on Youtube. One difference I made with the lyrics is singing "this fortress in MY heart" rather than "our hearts" since I think it makes more sense in the context.

LYRICS BELOW

Of course, no copyright infringement is intended!

With their feet in the air
And their heads on the ground 
The whole world is backwards yeah
You try to see the truth, but there's
Nothing in it, and you ask yourself 
Where are their minds x4
Waaay deep in the bullshit sink or swimming 

I was looking out my window
Watching people walking around 
Yeah
They look so small, 
Belong to a bigger whole
But they never want to ask
Where are their minds x4
Wayyy  deep in the bullshit sink or swimming 

With their feet in the air and their heads on the ground 
The whole world is backwards, yeah
You try to find what's real
But there's nothing in it 
And you ask yourself 
Where are their minds x4
Wayyyy deep in the bullshit sink or swimming

With their feet in the air and their heads in the ground 
Everybody is wearing masks yeah
Masks masks masks

Marina - "Where Is My Mind" (Lyrical re-write & vocal cover of The Pixies)

I'm quite proud of this one, actually, both vocally and emotion-wise! I think it's my best vocal so far!
