Piano Covers

My last minute tribute to the wonderful and inspirational Brian Wilson at a local open mic night at The Pig in Hastings.

An icon to many, an idol to myself. Forever in our hearts. Love and Mercy, Rest In Peace, Brian <3 

Brian Wilson Tribute Set

In this cover I play all the instruments and produced it from my bedroom. Those instruments include: Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass Vi, Drums, Keyboards, Vocals. I also added recorded sounds of the outdoors, hence the birds chirping and cars driving past.

A song I was blown away by upon its release earlier in the year, I felt I had to do my own take on it.

Enjoy. X

Best Person You Know (Lowertown Cover)

A bedroom recording I will hopefully one day release fully. I loved both versions of this song so I tried to marry the two together.

In the true style of a punk ballad, only the rhythm guitar was recorded to a click, the rest was free to flow around that rhythm part. I think it makes a more organic song that way.

I played all the instruments and produced this from my bedroom over lockdown. Those instruments include: Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, eBowed Guitar, Bass Vi, Bass, Piano, Keyboards, Drums, Percussion, Vocals.

Enjoy. X

Shivers (Rowland S. Howard Cover)

A song I have covered in multiple forms both in bedroom recordings and at open mic nights. A song that has stuck with me since I first heard the demo in 2015.

On this track I perform all the instruments and produced it too. Those instruments are: Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass, eBowed Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals.

Enjoy. X

Last Words (Isaac Gracie Cover)

A favourite Syd track of mine. A longing love song in a mental decline. How very appropriate.

On this track I performed all the instruments and produced it too: They include: Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, Piano, Percussion, Vocals, Sound Effects.

Enjoy. X

Love Song (Syd Barrett Cover)

Forever (Beach Boys Cover)

Just some noodling and doodling on the piano recently, and stumbled upon a simplified way to play this. Might do a full cover one day, not sure yet though!

Everytime (Britney Spears Cover) - Instrumental

A few songs I've loved to play over the last few months on piano by Paul McCartney.

None of these are perfect, it's just for fun and for practice. Enjoy x

Back Seat Of My Car

Wanderlust

A tribute to George Harrison, 20 years after his death. <3

I Need You

If I Needed Someone

Just was noodling on piano and I think I may have worked out most of the chords. One day I may try to cover with a full band arrangement as it is a favourite of mine by John Lennon.

Uploaded just a sign of progress on Piano :) x

Nobody Loves You (John Lennon Snippet)

I'll add to this list as I learn more. Again just trying to learn by ear and feel out the songs.

Don't Worry Baby is a personal favourite of mine and one day I will record a full version. For now an instrumental piano cover will have to suffice!

Much love x

Don't Worry Baby

California Girls

All Apologies (Nirvana Piano Cover)

Candle In The Wind (Elton John Piano Cover)

Kiss Me (Sixpence None The Richer Piano Cover)

The "Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man" section of Supper's Ready, poorly executed on piano as I was trying to learn it by ear. 

It's the only part of the songs I have so far had a decent go at!

Fool On The Hill (Beatles Piano Cover)

I was a tad lazy and recorded vocals and guitar together.

Gez Gold Open Mic - Solo Set

This is a cover of a song by a French band called 'Oakman' who I recently discovered whilst mooching around on Spotify. I really liked their style so I made a playlist for them, a couple of months later they released this track and it ended up being stuck in my head. So I felt like I had to do a cover of it. So here it is!

All Vocals, Acoustic Guitars, Basses, Keyboards, Kick Drum & Snare Drum, Synths and Production by Michael Steadman.

I used the basic Mastering tools provided on Soundcloud Pro, to give it just that little more edge and clean up.

Free to download for anyone and everyone!
Enjoy :) x

Missed Connections (Oakman Cover)

The Saddest Day Of My Life (Nirvana Cover)

Something I've wanted to do for a while. My own rendition of Orange County Suite by Jim Morrison and The Doors.

Coz I Luv You (Slade Cover)

Thought I'd cover this as the world is in quarantine, anticipating the summer ahead where everyone can go out and enjoy themselves again.

It was a snap decision one evening after watching Finn M-K do an overdub to the Adventure Time final episode credits. I set up my recording equipment and got this finished in a day and a half. I think his version is perfect, and so is the original, but I thought I'd give it a go too. I'll put the link to Finn M-K's version here as I recommend people watching it too!

I don't own this or any copyrights to it, it is simply a cover out of love and respect. I also don't own the image used.

On this track I play all the instruments, which include: Acoustic Guitars, Electric Guitars, Bass, 6- String Bass, Keyboards, Percussion and both Lead and Backing Vocals. I also produced and mixed it using Logic Pro X.

Hope you all enjoy it. I'll make it free to download for anybody who want a copy. Much love x

Island Song (Ashley Eriksson Cover)

Here's something for you all that I've worked on over the past 3 days, whilst in quarantine.

Just for a bit of fun I thought I would cover this track, adding my own altered middle 8 section and making it a bit heavier! It's a favourite of mine that I hum and sing a lot as it's very catchy.

I'm making it free to download for anyone who would like a copy! Just click where it says 'more' and click to download!

I programmed the drums manually and produced it using Logic Pro X, as well as performing all the instruments. (Electric Guitars, 12-String Guitar, Bass, Bass Vi, Hand Claps, Percussion, Vocals)

The artwork is by Winston Smith and is something I would like to use for a future album either for myself or with my band Helio.

Thanks everyone, stay safe in this quarantine! X

Under My Thumb (Rolling Stones Cover)

A very basic cover of a song I am looking to do a full version of soon. This is just for fun, if you would like to download a copy I have made it free to do so. Enjoy x

With limited resources, all drum parts were recorded in single takes using only an iPhone.

A little stop gap between the future release of my full band covers album and solo EP I have coming up.
