[COVER] Everything

I didn’t catch onto Michael Buble when he grew in popularity, so of course I had missed out on how good he could be. I think some people were comparing him to Frank Sinatra and other artists “of that genre”?

Regardless, hearing the song last summer at LOAH and having to play (turns out I didn’t need to play) it for the Victoria Day Celebration/Earthquake Relief fundraiser, I had grown a large interest in the song. The subtle guitar parts were interesting, and I remembered Buble saying in an interview somewhere (ET Canada?) that he wrote these songs FOR MEN (to sing to their girlfriend or wife). Not…that…there…is…any…relation…right…now.

And so I decided to have some fun. I have to admit that it took me whole day to finally get to a recording where I wasn’t 100% displeased, but even right now I am only probably around 85% pleased with how this turned out. Yes, I am critical of myself even though I don’t have the equipment to make higher quality recordings…haha.

[COVER] Name

Last night I felt the urge to listen to some random Goo Goo Dolls (I think?) and I stumbled upon their acoustic version of “Name” while on Radio Blog Club. And so while in the wee hours of the night I decided to learn how this song goes…and when I woke up, I played it again quietly while people were still sleeping.

It isn’t exactly an easy or hard song to play, but the way Johnny sings was brutal at the beginning, since there was a lot of off-beat-ness…add that in with the soothing guitar ballad (PLAYED WITHOUT A PICK), and things normally get complicated fast. Honestly, I re-recorded more than 10 times because I didn’t get one part absolutely correct — even now I am not 100% pleased with the recording, but here we are.

Turns out this is a love song…hrmmmmmmm.

[COVER] You’re All That I Have

This is a cover of Snow Patrol’s You’re All That I Have, done in acoustic mode. I actually think I recorded this before, but never uploaded it…but here is a new updated version anyway! The music video was quite entertaining to watch, which you can find on YouTube. Lyrics and chords found at Ultimate-Guitar

When I think about it, some of Snow Patrol’s songs would be suitable for LOAH, such as this one!
