This week I seemed to finally relax into it (after trying it for years), and I think it came out just fine. Vocals and MIDI #piano recorded live together.
This is "The Other End of the Telescope."

This week's #SundaySong is a doleful cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." Neither Nina Simone nor The Animals, admittedly. Every time I pick this song back up, I do a little less, and it gets a little better.

This week's #SundaySong is John K. Samson's doleful, sweet "17th Street Treatment Centre" – for anyone in #recovery, and anyone who wants to be. You're not alone.

This week's #SundaySong is an old Soft Cell lament, "Say Hello Wave Goodbye." Have always loved this song, could never imagine I'd have the ability to perform it. Vocals and keys live as shown, and once again I went to my trust #KalaUBass to provide a little something extra, which 90% of people won't hear because there's no bass to be found through phone or laptop speakers.

This week's #SundaySong is one I'm definitely not ready to play on stage. Even in the relaxed confines of my little studio I'm hitting about 65% of the prescribed chords – but the point of this weekly exercise is to do something scary and just put it out there.
So here's "Rainy Days and Mondays" by Paul Williams. Keys and vocals recorded live, droning B3 underneath added in #AbletonLive.

I think this is the first time I've posted one of my own songs as a #SundaySong – Inspired by an intersection I found on a bike ride, it's one I haven't performed a lot. Turns out it was waiting for a punk #ukulele approach. Here's "Church and Reformed," with live vox and #uke, #KalaUBass and an absolutely soaring #kazoo solo added in.

260 followers · 1269 posts · Server mastodon.sdf.orgSunday Song becomes Monday Song when Sunday is spent talking with friends old and new thanks to a little bit of opening up and honesty.
So here's a song about not being honest with yourself, breaking promises, and hoping for change without doing anything to make it happen. The Blasters do it, um, slightly differently; it's written by Tom Russell. Here's "Bus Station."

#SundaySongs time! Going back to my roots as a #FlorenceAndTheMachine cover act*, this is one of my favorite songs, "Ship To Wreck."
Keys and vocals live as shown, added in some #KalaUBass and digital harmonus in #AbletonLive.

This week at #OpenMic and for my #SundaySongs series I am subjecting audiences to my rendition of They Might Be Giants' song that tells the tale of being reincarnated as a bag of groceries: "Dead," from their brand new record for 1990, "Flood."

220 followers · 1091 posts · Server mastodon.sdf.orgAn unusual song for me in that it's just genuinely sweet – I used to sing this to my kids at bedtime, but had forgotten about until recently. We knew this #SesameStreet song from #ShawnColvin's version on "Elmopalooza," and my kids called this "the Ernie song," because "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon" is a lot of words.
Piano, vocals, added my #YamahaBass in #Ableton

214 followers · 1051 posts · Server mastodon.sdf.orgThis week's Sunday Song, warts and all, is a kinda obscure Paul McCartney song called "Sally G." The flip side of "Junior's Farm," and one of my all-time favorite solo McCartney songs.
Tried to do this perfectly in #Ableton and it came out sounding like junk. So I changed ukes, went acoustic, did nothing to it, and give it to you like this. There's one terrible chord flub, and I don't care.

16 followers · 36 posts · Server musicians.todayThis week's Sunday Song is one of my all-time favorites to perform, even though (because?) it's wildly confusing. No normal song structure, changes cadence throughout, it's a dark mystery that suddenly adds a name at the end just to be confusing.
This is Warren Zevon's "The French Inhaler," with the tiniest bit of secret sauce added in Ableton.
