San Tropez (Pink Floyd, Meddle) Cover 2002

In the morning when the world came awake
Before you knew me I knew your name
It was painted across the day as it breaks 
An impression in your window frame 

When you saw me out your window
Singing from the garden
Only the beginning 
I’m only getting started
I don't mind the digging 
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom

But one day I'll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what’s my name
Because I need you to want me the same

When you saw me washing dishes
Singing from the bottom
Only the beginning 
I’m only getting started
I don't mind the digging 
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been in the ashes
Singing from the garden

Where everything reaches for the sun
Still unsure of what we’ll become
But I need you to reach out to me
See in me more than I could see
Because I’m afraid that…

One day is only two words we say
I don’t want to let them get in the way 
Of all the plans that we should be making right now
Right now

Who took the time and where did they take it
I want to take it back, I don't want to let them break it
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

You see now one day I'll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what's my name
Because I need you to want me the same

When you saw me out your window
Singing from the bottom
Only the beginning
I'm only getting started
I don't mind the digging
Baby, I'll work harder
I’ve been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom 

One day is only two words we say
I don’t want to let them get in the way 
Of all these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

But who took the time and where did they take it
I want to take it back, I don't want to let them break it
All these plans that we should be making right now

Interesting Drug (Morrissey cover)

Here's another of my late night whiskey and recording parties. This one was from a good while back. Alec Stanley and I came home from a gig and decided to record some Fleet Foxes. We both love the song Blue Ridge Mountains off of their eponymous debut album. Plus, their arrangement is awesome with the Double Drop D tuning they use. I had just learned how to play mandolin pretty well, so we wrote out an arrangement for this song and recorded it all night while drinking absurd amounts of Lord Calvert. Alec and I recorded all of the instruments in my bedroom plugging straight into my iMac and Garage Band. All of the vocals and acoustic instruments (including the percussion) were recorded through an MXL Genesis Tube Condenser Microphone. I really enjoy this cover, and I hope you do too. Again, I do not claim any rights to the music or lyrics of this song, but this is my artistic interpretation of the song. Bon Apetit!
