Experimental sound collage using samples from my childhood cassettes

Xmas Sound Collage 1996

If love's a gun, you're my trigger babe
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang
If love's a gun, I'm better off dead
Bang, bang shoot shoot me down
I like it rough and you like it round
Lying in your bed, honey, explosions in my head

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang
If love's a gun, I'm better off dead

Aggression (you push it, babe), and
Temptation (you push it, babe)
Since I met you, I just ain't the same
Pretty soon you're gonna change my name

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang
If love's a gun, I'm better off dead

I've always been a crazy singer
So far suburbia, I want some danger
But you'll put that ring onto my finger
Soon we'll be shopping for coffee percolators
If love is flowers and love is danger
Change your lady's name, and make her a stranger
And if love is power then love's a gun
And if love's a gun, I'm better off dead

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang
If love's a gun, I'm better off dead

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang
If love's a gun, I'm better off
If love's a gun, I'm better off
If love's a gun, I'm better off dead

Early Takes

If Love's A Gun, I'm Better Off Dead (early take version)

An homage to Kurt Cobain on the 30th anniversary of his passing. RIP 🙏 🕊

I did this cover as an exercise for one of my production classes. Then I realized that I completed it on the 30th anniversary of Kurt's passing. So, I decided to make it public. RIP, angel <3

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe 
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang 
If love's a gun, I'm better off dead. 

Bang Bang shoot shoot me down 
I like it rough, and you like it round 
Lying in your bed, honey, explosions in my head. 

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe 
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang 
If love's a gun, I'm better off dead. 

(Aggression). You push it babe 
(And temptation). You push it babe 
And since I met you, I just ain't the same. 

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe 
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang 
If love's a gun, I'm better off dead. 

I've always been a crazy singer 
Said, "fuck suburbia, I want some danger." 
But you'll put that ring onto my finger, 
Soon we'll be shopping for coffee percolators. 

If love is flowers, and love is danger 
Change your lady's name, and make her a stranger. 
And if love is power, then love's a gun 
And if love's a gun, I'm better off dead. 

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe 
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang 
If love's a gun, I'm better off 

If love's a gun, you're my trigger, babe 
If love's a gun, you're my trigger, bang 
If love's a gun, I'm better off 

If love's a gun, I'm better off 
If love's a gun, I'm better off 
dead.

Je ne, ne parle pas français
Mais vais faire semblant aujourd’hui
You won’t see me floating out the door
But I’m goin to a special place
Where nothing is lonely

Me and you and you and him can get away
Anytime reality’s bind got
Too much hold onto your mind

We can be together in Paris
Aah, aah, Paris…
Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night
And darkness tends to strike
Just before the light

Everybody’s walking ‘round with eyes closed
I don’t know, so you don’t know if
Life’s a stream inside a dream
Je ne, ne parle pas français
Mais je peux pretender

You won’t see the sun set in my eyes
‘Cause here the darkness falls
But there it will rise

Je ne, ne parle pas français
But I will make believe today
I will make believe today
Aah, aah, Paris…
Aah, aah, Paris…
Aah, aah, Paris…

LYRICS:

"Victim"
I've had enough of playing victim
It's kinda tough, but I'm ready for big changes
I've had enough of playing victim
It's kinda tough, but I'm ready for big changes
But I'm ready for big changes
But I'm ready to be free
Aah...

CHORUS
Well, you lock me inside this place
And it's your face that I hate
But I'm breaking out into the cold
To chase the Sun, to shake these clouds
From around my soul

Freedom ain't for free, it's time the truth starts singing
I'm learning to speak, and, man, it feels so liberating
Freedom ain't for free, it's been a lifetime
At least for me, to figure out just what I'm feeling
Figure out just what I'm feeling,
Figure out just how to be
Aah...

CHORUS
Well, you lock me inside this place
And it's your face that I hate
But I'm breaking out into the cold
To chase the Sun, to shake these clouds
From around my soul

Ooh...Aah...

CHORUS
Well, you lock me inside this place
And it's your face that I hate
But I'm breaking out into the cold
To chase the Sun, to shake these clouds
From around my soul

I've had enough of playing victim
It's kinda tough, but I'm ready for big changes.

Victim

I Want To Tell You

LYRICS:
A precious one lost but not gone
A setting sun along this road I am on
Baby, baby, baby, don't wanna leave you

God's got a greater plan for me
That you and I can't see
It's time to be set free
We're passers-by in these bodies and in these minds

Some of us live fast leaving the rest behind
Maybe, maybe, maybe this ain't for me
Can't wrap your arms around a dream
That you and I can't see

It's time to be set free
Baby, baby, baby, don't wanna leave you
God's got a greater plan for me
That you and I can't see

It's time to be set free
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

A precious one lost but not gone
A setting sun along this road we're on
I know, I know, I know I caused you pain
God's got a greater plan for me

Baby, baby, baby, don't wanna leave you
God's got a greater plan for me
That you and I can't see
It's time to be set free

It's time to be set free
It's time to be set free
It's time to be set free
It's time to be set free

It's time to be set free
It's time to be set free
It's time to be set free
It's time to be set free

It's time to be set free
