There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths (cover)
I’m sure everyone here has seen the version I posted 3/4 years ago but the simple fact is that I’m a better singer and player than I was back then and I have better equipment to record with so I thought why not get a new one up :)
From Wikipedia:
“"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths, written by guitarist Johnny Marr and lead vocalist Morrissey. Featured on the band's third studio album The Queen Is Dead (1986), it was not released as a single in the United Kingdom until 1992, five years after their split, to promote the compilation album ...Best II.
It peaked at No. 25 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 22 on the Irish Singles Chart. The song has received considerable critical acclaim; in 2014, NME listed it as the 12th-greatest song of all time. In 2021, it was ranked at No. 226 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time"”
Lyrics:
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last"
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, la-di-dum
Oh, I haven't got one
Oh, oh
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead (cover)
Переглядів 44 тис.10 місяців тому
Possibly the most haunting song I’ve ever heard. Definitely one of Radiohead’s finest. I had a version of this up before but I’ve been meaning to replace it as I wasn’t happy with it. From Wikipedia: “"Street Spirit (Fade Out)" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released on their second studio album, The Bends (1995). It was released as a single on 22 January 1996 and reached number ...

The video was glitching on the previous version, not sure why! As mentioned previously - there’s a couple of versions of the lyrics and I’m singing the “The World Won’t Listen” version ones, incase anyone is confused 😊

I’m proud to say that I had the chance to work with 2 fantastic musician friends in recording this tribute to Burt Bacharach (RIP), who passed away in February (1928-2023). The level of talent and professionalism on display by Peter and Matt is quite amazing. I have to give the credit to them as my voice just sits on top of the incredible instrumental that they painstakingly produced piece by p...

One of the most incredibly beautiful songs ever written.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles (cover)

I love this song so much. George Harrison was an incredible songwriter and the fact that he pulled out songs like this whilst living in the high pressured shadow of John Lennon and Paul McCartney for years is incredible. Ironically, when you look back at the Beatles discography, a good percentage of the most streamed/loved songs are Georges! From Wikipedia: “"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a ...

This is another song which evokes a lot of emotion in me. I recorded this the other day at the same time as Asleep and wasn’t sure which to put up after Andy’s passing. I thought I may as well make use of this so throwing this one up as well.

You sound much better without the extended reverb. Great job as always.
whats the tuning?
Easily one of the greatest covers I’ve ever seen. Impeccable. Just….wow.
Epic
Pure talent. Voice is awesome dude.
God given is that ! 🫶🏽
dude, thank you so much. You have such an amazing voice and playing, ngl you’re inspiring me. Im using your cover as a tutorial to learn it myself and I couldn’t be happier. Wouldn’t want anyone else teaching me this tbh
just casually dropping an absolute beauty cover sitting on the floor in a kids room with (probably?!) a macbook recording or cell phone... #legend #coversongs
The “forgive my mistakes” comment before the video reminds my of when Dave Grohl said “this one’s a little weird acoustic” and then plays one of the best versions of the pretender. Great job
No capo required. Exceptional.
Can You share the chords tunning please? 😊
Génial!!! Merci from France ! :) And for your Cure / Beatles/ McCartney / Radiohead covers too! :)
