سيف عامر - موجوع قلبي 2014

What with Valentines being around the corner I figured I'd do another shitty depressing cover of a normally pretty upbeat song... We Found Love. 

We Found Love - Rihanna (Cover)

A little one-take live cover of Unconditionally by Katy Perry. Lots of mistakes but I'm far too lazy to try and do it again and I kinda things being less than perfect. I'm only human. Kinda like my guitar playing here though and I actually have 6 strings on it for the first time in about 6 years :P Hope you enjoy :)

Unconditionally - Katy Perry (Cover)

Original recording and acoustic mix of my Love Is On The Radio cover by McFly :)

Love Is On The Radio - Acoustic Mix (McFly Cover)

موجوع قلبي- بلقيس

In this episode of 'John ruins amazingly awesome songs'... Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. 
I particularly like the voice crack in the second chorus because apparently I seem to still be going through puberty.

Gravity - Embrace (Cover)

This is not from my forthcoming album, just some things on my mind.

Lyrics.
frustration and depression breaks me down
descending like they wanted underground
the further our journey the less you care
that's why you laugh at Kanye when he's talking in a chair
but the same conversation but replaced,
is good enough for laughs or a smile on your face,
happy to be singing all our songs to survive,
but when we need help, you don't get off til 5. 
it's powerful to feel so alone in a group

let me break this down for you and tell you how we feel again,
your fear is all you hold on to, so when you see me it's not fair
i have nothing left to give when you don't notice what is wrong,
Charleston left me broken down but it's just another day to you

i ain't got nothing left to give you
and i'm too tired, to even talk about it
while watching the fire,

tasting pain coming from a place of truth 

to be another in a messy world
to feel like giving in another turn?
you wouldn't listen if i told you

so how can i become anyone?

Do You See My Skin Through The Flames?

شعر: أحمد حدّاد
لحن وتوزيع: شريف الوسيمى

ولا شىء يعكّر مزاج سيادتى
عايشة الحياة وباحب وقتى

باضحك فى وش الدنيا
والغاز أشمه كولونيا
دى النار تبرد فى يونيه
ولهيبها ف يناير يأتى

ممنون يا هانم والنبى ممنون
وحتى لو كان امتنانى جنون
بتضحكينى وتوريهالى جناين
ما كأنهاش يا ست هانم... سجون

الدنيا حروب وحرايق
ومزاج الناس مش رايق
شفتى بتقولك نكتة
لكن قلبى.. متضايق

البسى بلوزات ع الموضة
واضحكى لمراية الأوضة
دا الجرنان لونه أبيض
لكن أخباره... سودا

واللى فى قلب الميدان
شايفين السما ألوان
ضرب النار ما قتلهمش
وانا مكملة عشان

باضحك فى وش الدنيا
والغاز أشمه كولونيا
دى النار تبرد فى يونيه
ولهيبها ف يناير يأتى...
