A cover of a Leonard Cohen song as if Joey Ramone would have done it. Or not, I don't know how music works. This was the first in a long time where I played an actual guitar, which felt way better than I anticipated. I think the harmonies on the chorus belongs to the best things I have ever done.

Lyrics

there's a piece of me in everything i do
i don't know why and i don't know who
it's mysterious this thing called life
and sometimes it cuts me like a knife

the world is crazy, life is a zoo
except it seems when I look at you
i love your smile, your soft warm skin
but my childhood changed the shape i'm in

i hope it rains cuz it's so damn dry
and i'm just standing here wondering why
i think i'm gonna go and get real high
then sit outside and look at the sky

i wanna know what it's all about
i think i do, but i got some doubt
too much thinking, it's all in vain
and i need something to relieve my pain

when i was young i got beaten down
so bad, i moved to a different town
Joey said something 'bout sniffing glue
but I don't think that's so good to do

and i hope it rains cuz it's so damn dry
just standing in the window here wondering why
i think i'm gonna go and get real high
then sit outside and look at the sky

Basement recording artist, bedroom songwriter, bathroom singer, multi-instrumentalist. Folk, blues, alternative, rock, indie and anything that grooves.

I used to use this place to post funny covers of songs. Now I started putting some of my own self-made tracks here. I am shocked to see people listening to my strange noises, but, yeah, it's lovely. Right now I'm posting older tracks because Im busy painting. But we'll see what happens later in the summer, k muffy-tuffy?
