My cover of 'First Class' by Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
Recorded on 8/27/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Say we'll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids
And none of them will look at all like us
And our neighbors will all be a bit too much
And you'll live out in the desert with a man you never loved

Is this it?
What you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too

Say we'll get famous and we'll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But will love you all the same, because you're beautiful

Say you didn't see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn't mean it that I mean nothing to you
Like you said
Do you believe me?
That I'll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to

We were born splaying in the wreckage
Buried down on birds with stones
Bore my weight upon your shoulders
Water as warm as morning suns

I don't think quite like I used to
I got a bed to call my own
I see stars and painted lies
Broken glass upon your road

Now I'm driving home too soon
Say you love me like you used to

And we'll vacation first class
I'm breaking your fall
You're breaking my ass
You're working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you're ok
You're faking, fucked up
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby
I say I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive

But is this what you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too

Oh, and say we'll get famous and we'll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But we'll love you all the same, because you're beautiful
Say you didn't see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn't mean it that I mean nothing to you

Like you said do you believe me?
That I'll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to
Say you love me like you used to

And we'll vacation first class
I'm breaking your fall
You're breaking my ass
You're working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you're ok

You're faking
Fucked up
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby
I say I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive

First Class (Rainbow Kitten Surprise cover)

My cover of 'Every Other Freckle' by alt-j.
Recorded on 9/4/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I want to share your mouthful
I want to do all the things your lungs do so well
I'm gonna bed into you like a cat beds into a bean bag
(Mm, mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

You're the first and last of your kind
(Pull me like an animal out of a hole)
I want to be every lever you pull
And all showers that shower you
Gonna paw, paw at you
Like a cat paws at my woolen jumper
(Mm, mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
Be your Minpin
And Borrower of handsome trivia

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Devour me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Lou, Lou, let the cover girls sing

Do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do

All hand claps, you will clap
(Let me be the wallpaper that papers up your room)
I want to be every button you press
And all the baths that surround you

Yes, I'm gonna roll around you
Like a cat rolls around saw dusted patios (ooh)
I'm gonna kiss you
Like the sun browns you 

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Devour me 
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
Devour me 
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 

If you really think that you can stomach me 

I want every other freckle 
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle
I want every other freckle 
Every other freckle, I want every other freckle 
I want every other freckle
Every other freckle, freckle

My cover of 'Closer Tonight' by Grant-Lee Phillips.
Recorded on 9/13/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

It brings out the nervousness in me
This talk of the future
And all of it moving at light speed
Too much to devour

Well, pray that we make it in one piece
But who are we fooling?
A fire that keeps a nation warm
Or it's undoing?

Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

And we are closer tonight
Closer than ever
We are closer tonight
The touch of a finger

And arrows that fly across the sea
Eyeing the hour
A magic that we don't dare repeat
The trick of unraveling

Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

And driverless cars on market street
Around every corner
But what is to stop us before
We turn on each other

Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

We are closer tonight
Closer than ever
We are closer tonight
The touch of a finger

We are closer tonight
Closer than ever
We are closer tonight
Closer than ever

We are closer tonight
The touch of a finger
We are closer tonight
Closer to Heaven

Closer Tonight (Grant-Lee Phillips cover)

My cover of 'The Safety Dance' by Men Without Hats.
Recorded on 9/22/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they'll never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
We can dance

We can go where we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with a victory cry
I say, we can act if we want to
If we don't, nobody will
And you can act real rude
And totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything is out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything will work out right
I say, We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything is out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance

safety dance
safety dance
safety dance
safety dance
safety dance

safety dance

The Safety Dance (Men Without Hats cover)

My cover of 'Slide Away' by Oasis.
Recorded on 9/25/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Slide away and give it all you've got
My today fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now

Hold me down all the world's asleep
I need you now you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you and we talk of growing old
But you said please don't

Slide in baby together we'll fly
I've tried praying but I don't know what you're saying to me

Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do

Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Let me be the one who shines with you

And we can slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Away

Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now

Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun

Let me be the one who shines with you
In the morning we don't know what to do

We're two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done

Oh, let me be the one who shines with you
And we can slide away

Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away
Slide away

Slide Away (Oasis cover)

My cover of S.G. Goodman's 'Space and Time'.
Recorded on 9/28/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I never wanna leave this world without saying I love you
Without saying what you mean to me
You know it makes me happy, oh, when we share this space and time
Want you to know you shaped this heart of mine

And I never wanna leave this world, oh, without saying I love you

Oh, and out in the woods, this picture is clear to me
I owe my life to even my enemies
The ones who have loved me, the ones who have tried
Their grips on my heart and their grips on my mind
The stranger I pass, my mama, brothers, friends and my father
They're god undercover
I'm telling you now in case I must go
Want you to know

I never wanna leave this world without saying I love you
Without saying what you mean to me
You know it makes me happy, oh, when we share this space and time
Want you to know you shaped this heart of mine

And I never wanna leave this world, oh, without saying I love you

I never wanna leave this world without saying I love you
Without saying what you mean to me
You know it makes me happy, oh, when we share this space and time
Want you to know you shaped this heart of mine

And I never wanna to leave this world, oh, without saying I love you

Space and Time (S.G. Goodman cover)

My cover of The Pogues' 'Dirty Old Town'.
Recorded on 10/03/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night

Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I'm gonna make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Dirty Old Town (The Pogues cover)

My cover of Courtney Barnett's 'Depreston'. 
Recorded on 10/09/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

You said we should look out further
I guess it wouldn't hurt us
We don't have to be around all these coffee shops

Now we've got that percolator
Never made a latte greater
I'm savin' 23 dollars a week

We drive to a house in Preston
We see police arresting
A man with his hand in a bag

How's that for first impressions
This place seems depressing
It's a California bungalow in a caul-de-sac

It's got a lovely garden
And a garage for two cars to park in
Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one

And it's going pretty cheap, you say
Well, it's a deceased's estate
Aren't the pressed Metal ceilings great

Then I see the hand rail in the shower
A collection of those canisters for coffee, tea and flower
And a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam

And I can't think of floor boards anymore
Whether the front room faces south or north
And I wonder what she bought it for

If you've got a spare half a million
You could knock it down and start rebuilding
If you've got a spare half a million
You could knock it down and start rebuilding
If you've got a spare half a million
You could knock it down and start rebuilding
If you've got a spare half a million
You could knock it down and start rebuilding

My cover of Gillian Welch's 'Everything is Free'.
Recorded on 10/27/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

Everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gonna give it away

Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if it doesn't pay

I can get a tip jar
Gas up the car
And try and make a little change
Down at the bar

Or I can get a straight job
I done it before
Never minded working hard
It's who I'm working for

But everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gonna give it away

Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay

Every day I wake up
Humming a song
But I don't need to run around
I'll just stay at home

And sing a little love song
My love and myself
If there's something that you want to hear
You can sing it yourself

Cause everything is free now
That's what I said
No one's got to listen to
The words in my head

Someone hit the big score
But I figured it out
And I'm gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay

Everything is Free (Gillian Welch cover)

My cover of U2's 'Running to Stand Still'.
Recorded on 10/29/2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was, lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're goin'

Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ooh la, ah la la la de day

Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day

Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice

You know I took the poison, from the poison stream
Then I floated out of here, singing

Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day

She walks through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway
She brings me white golden pearls
Stolen from the sea
She is raging, she is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes

She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still
