Ein wirklich vergnüglicher Song :) Tolle Sounds, ich mag die "Hammond" ;)

Lovely live recording...nice use of percussion, particularly the flower pots!

I hope you like my cover songs. Please see also my wordy description to every song.

em's covers - playlist

Stolpernd-polternd-eigen, wie ein charmanter Trunkenbold, feiernd, auf dem Weg nach Hause, flirtet und säuselt das singende Ich mit seiner Holden. Auch meine Gitarre stolpert dahin, vermeintlich leise und brav -- aber taking the long way home passiert irgendwie doch immer. Und so klingt der Zwischenteil ein bisschen wie etwas Rauhes, Ungehobeltes, wie Tom Waits auf einem Rock'n Roll Konzert, nachts um 3, nachdem schon längst Schluss war. Naja, ein wenig absurd scheint die Liebesbekundung, weiter säuselnd-flirtend, auf dem Weg nach Hause, outside, past the party lights.
Ein dicker Kuss an meine Frau! -- Echt, ich bessere mich. Diesmal meine ich das wirklich.  ;-)

Guitar -- live, in one take (well, you could have guessed that ;-)
Bass an Bariton Sax -- thanks to Native Instruments I just had to play the keys to that...
Vox -- Me 
Yey, my first finger-picked guitar recording :-)


With a glass of wine or two, the singer (and my recorded instruments) is/are stumbling kind of homeward. Flirting with his girl and -without wanting it- telling us about his way of life. He seems to take an extra round back to the small-town-Rock'n-Rollers, although the music should have been over hours ago. It seems as if the drunkard's flirting whispers are being heard -- but nobody knows. Past the party lights it's kinda dark. I wonder if Tom Waits would like the saxophone sound, a bit rough, and the singer's voice right after that telling his love that he loves, ...zzsxuse me, hick, ...her. Sorry.
I big kiss to my girl! -- I'm improving diligently. And this time I really mean it. ;-)

Long Way Home

Ebenso ein Lied für meine bessere Hälfte ;-)
Ob diese Version Fury gefallen würde?
Tolpatschig-charmant singt das singende Ich ein "bio-pop" und begründet, überzeugend wie ich finde, warum seine Angebetete keinen teuren Schmuck bekommt. (...und warum er seine Schwiegermutter doof findet. ;-)
Da gibt es viele Identifikations-Schnittstellen... -- aber aufgrund meines schlechten Zeitmanagement überspringe ich das... ;-)

Schüttel-Eier, Cajon, Schnipsen, von den Kids mit Butterbrotpapier und Tapetenkleister bespannte Tonblumentöpfe als Bongos am Anfang... 
-- alles live und akustisch mit dem Fostex MR-16-Spurgerät
E-Bass -- Harley Benton 5-Saiter
E-Gitarre -- Hohner Viper mit 40W-Anfänger Transistor-Verstärker, später Rhythmus-Gitarre über Native Instruments hinzugefügt
Nord Electro 4 -- Organ, Clav, E-Piano
Western-Gitarre -- günstig gut ;-)
Gesang über t.bone SC 400 
-- charmant-schief an den besten Stellen, aber dafür gedreifacht... ;-)

aufgenommen über Fostex MR-16 -- geniales Teil ;-)

In this "bio-pop" you get to know a bit more about the singer and his lacking time management. You'll understand why his love doesn't get any real jewels and why he doesn't like his mother-in-law extremely well...  Clumsy-charming off-tune I'd say.  ;-)

-- A big smoooch to my honey!

Love of A Clown

Oh no, some minutes ago, the chicken shake sounded as if treated with a flanger in the upload... Let's see if this one's better:

A calm and very humble and nice song by JJ Cale and Eric Clapton (on the recording, Billy Preston was still alive!)

As always:
- for me beloved wife
- selfmade
- no automatic sequences (depending on how you define that)

As very often ;-) ...
- not quantized
- recorded on my Fostex MR-16

Well, admittedly, I had to record the guitar solo in bits an pieces, for I'm not a guitar player... ;-)

Chicken shake, Cajon (2 Mics ;-), Native Instruments Prec Amped, my "real" red Nord Electro 4D ;-), a rather cheap Western guitar, Hohner Viper, both real guitars, on a students' transistor amp before it was stolen ;-)

Recorded quite a few years ago, hadn't finished it until some weeks ago. Well, originally I was in (I don't know if you say that like that) in full respect of my wife's decision of trying out international service as a teacher for a while. -- We managed half a year her beeing in Kosovo and me trying to stay at home, working and keeping the household...  Lord, Lord, let me tell ya ... ;-)

Who Am I  -

So... -- endlich:
Meine etwas überarbeitete Version von "You Are My Sunshine".

Möge es euch ein gute-Laune-Ohrwurm sein!
May it put you in a happy mood!

instruments:
- echtes Pfeiffen am Solo gegen Ende (schön schief ;-)
- alle Gesangsspuren von mir / all singing and whistling by me
- unzählige echter Gitarrenspuren ;-) / countless real-guitar tracks
- saxophon, piano und palm-muted bass via keyboard und Native Instruments Vst
- Hammond via Nord Electro 4D
- mixed and recorded via Cubase Elements and Steinbergs UR 22 mkII

You Are My Sunshine  :-)

Oversee (Teaser confinement J55)

Easy:
A cover of Faith No More's cover of the Commodore's version...

Seit Jahren dachte ich daran, diese Cover-Version aufzunehmen. Und ich überlegte immer, wie ich das Solo einbaue, wie drums, bass, guitars, pianos, brass klingen sollten -- bis ich mich dann für diese abgespeckte Version entschied, zu der mir Sascha mir ein großartiges E-Gitarren-Solo beisteuerte, ein kreativ eigenes, nicht nur das Original nachgespielt. Ich freu' mich.  ;-)

Sascha on guitar, piano/voices/mixing by me -- a big hand for my friend Sascha's great solo on electric guitar -- thanks again, Sascha!  
:-)

He did his part in about 10 minutes, while I was shifting and trying again for hours, if not months or even years, ha!  ;-)

So, here it is:
... Finally my cover-version is kind-of-in-shape...

- Piano recorded mostly in one session
- Sascha in Corona-mode via e-Mail
- Background choir with 9 similarly nice and positive singers hired by me ;-)

Well, in the end I had to laugh but -after remembering chatting with Mother Mary-  I thought "let it be" as it is  ;-)

But now I'm happy that it's ready.  ;-)

Easy (feat. Sascha on guitar) -- thx ,again, Sascha!  :-)

No Frontiers (Mary Black song)

Be a shining example of
Ways that question the point of love
Why should I have to follow code
When others collapse on this broken road
Wave in pointy finger mode (again)

Cancel the party and party hats
Pray for a sudden purge of the brats
Ignore what the papers are telling you
I can see the output and know I'm through

CHORUS
Perplexing questioning is a regular thing
Count the lemmings on the ledge
Perplexing questioning is a regular thing
Stereotypes look funny falling from same heights

Thank you for the luminous underwear
Be afraid that the neighbours might look and stare
Curse that you don't have the style yourself
Bless the lord for your ever expanding wealth
But that won't guarantee health (oh no!)

Part the crowd and start to disperse the throng
I know that I've not done anything wrong
Take part - I'm occasionally visionary
Listen as I mumble hysterically

CHORUS

Stereotypes Look Funny Falling From Same Heights

So relieved to have a new leader taking over in the USA who has empathy and compassion for all Americans and wants to help get our country united and well again. 
This is a humble version of my favorite song.
Imagine!
Love y'all!

The great Mahan²https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan  initiated this track/collab by challenging me to chop up a  Bee Gees acapella beyond recognition. The wolves are coming back is the result. There are no other sources than the voices used and no animals were harmed ;)
Then he used it to build the awesome track: https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan/how-deep-space-is-your-love

noxpox - the wolves are coming back

This is just one of many mixes on the 420 theme.

420/2020 a day like today
