I like the almost late 70s/early 80s post-punk vibe on this one. Really cool stuff 👏

An interesting take on a classic song.  The drumming is great, and the toms in particular are spectacular.

Shakedown 1979... This is basically a Smashing Pumpkins cover in disguise!

Smashing Pumpkins' 1979 is one of my favourite songs, and as well as a lot of people, I get a strong nostalgia feeling when I listen to it. Me and my friends are already graduated, and a lot of them, including myself, are leaving the country for many reasons like studying abroad. 1979 is a song we used to bump in the car and when I listen to it it takes me back to those times. I felt the need to make a cover of it because there was no other way to convey what i was feeling. Thanks for listening :)

LYRICS

Welcome to ASHLAND

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet

And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below

Can you take me back to 79?
I wasn't even born but felt so alive
Nostalgia is in my blood
That's what get's me high, high, high, high

I'm busy don't call me
My head is revolving
Revelations evolving
And I'm still falling

Down
Still running around
Run 'till I find someone I haven't found
In my point of view
Now why she pointing south
I wanna head with you
Why you showin' me your mouth
What were the games about?
Acting hard to get now she askin' me out
They need you at the set so imma go now
Turning into dust don't even ask me how cuz

I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below

TO DUST I GUESS

WELCOME TO ASHLAND :)

I like to make music.
Everything is produced, written, recorded and mixed by myself.
I play with a lot of different genres and styles, so you'll never know wtf im gonna come with next. Even if the song fits in a specific genre, it's prolly got some experimentalism in it. I dont even know if thats a word but idgaf.
