My ❤️❤️❤️

My covers playlist represents a small cross section of songs and genres that I’ve fallen in love with over time and I’m just paying a humble tribute to a wild variety of music that has moved me in some way.

Cover Versions

This is our first acoustic cover of a favorite Jesus and Mary Chain song, recorded live at home. Vocals: RedRose Collage (Meg). Vocals/guitar: Tim Trainer. If you dig it please feel free to comment or repost! 
Thank you 🙏🏻✌🏻

Sometimes Always (Jesus and Mary Chain cover)

This is the first time Meg and I covered this gem of a song by Sinead O’Connor. Although it was released in 1990, its relevance and message unfortunately remains ever more poignant and heartbreakingly current to this day, 31 years later. We recorded this live in one take together, and hope the feeling we put into it comes through. Meg: lead vocal, Tim: acoustic guitar and backing vocal. Thank you so much for listening, if you like it please feel free to comment or repost! 
-Tim and Meg 🙏🏻✌🏻

Black Boys On Mopeds (Sinead O’Connor cover)

Thank you and RIP Jeff Buckley, a rare soul who continues to inspire and influence so many through the music he left us and his unwavering dedication to following his inner voice always. ✨🙏🏻✌🏻

So Sister (The Verve acoustic cover)

I was introduced to making music from age 4 or 5 when my dad took me to his band practice every week where I’d make the rounds “playing” drums, keyboards, an old upright piano, guitars and his ‘68 Fender P Bass (or 70’s MusicMan Stingray Bass). I owe a lot to the generosity and kindness of each of the band members. They were the catalyst that started me on my own musical path of discovery and creation that feeds my soul to this day. I continue to write, record, perform and cover the songs that move me (from the gypsy jazz era to present day), and I’m grateful for the chance to share it with others. Please check out my Instagram, amazingradio and YouTube pages for more, and my official debut EP “The Dakota EP” is streaming everywhere as well as for download on iTunes, Amazon and other sites as well! I appreciate any comments or feedback you may have to offer, if so moved. Thank you for listening,  -Tim 🙏🏻✌🏻
