A cover of 'Mockingbird' by Ruston Kelly. Another of my favourites and one I'd originally recorded a cover of during the Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020. I thought I'd re-record it and release in line with my more modern sound. All instruments and vocals performed and recorded by me. I'm by no means an expert harmonica player btw...

Mockingbird Rewind #14: Aweminus

All of us have some moment we would redo if given the chance, some past decision or action or utterance that we would take back if we could. 

Our pasts exert pressure on us in the present. Sure, we can become very good at moving on or pretending we’ve moved on, but the truth of us, what we’ve done or left undone, never really leaves us. Regret is real. Which is why forgiveness is so important. 

Forgiveness is the only thing that frees us and relieves us from the burden of not just who were were, but also who we are.

The Relief From Regret

All mixes are made by me. All tracklists are in the description of the mix. The mockingbird series is where I take an artist's setlists, soundcloud likes, remixes and original songs to create a mix in the style of that DJ with my own touch and vision. All tracklists are in the description. New Mockingbird mixes are set to release every Monday and Friday. Mockingbird Seasons 2 & 3 are sequels and new b2bs. Prestige is a redo of the original mockingbirds project for the modern day. Stay tuned for future mix projects. Y'all are beautiful!
