In Boxes - Aurora cover by GIVEUP:theGhost
This one was a little more thrown together than I would have liked, but I am trying to strengthen my “good enough” and “done is better than nothing” muscles with this project. So, for your listening ears, here is the next spooky Inktober cover for 2024!
Thanks as always for taking the time to check out my silly little songs! And also, as per usual, I do not own the music or lyrics. All rights go to Aurora for this creepy little tune 👻

Week two of inktober is in the books! As well as a wild ride of a week in general, but we just keep on trucking along! 😮‍💨 This one’s Season of the Witch by Donovan, also performed by Joan Jett, Lana Del Rey, and many others. Definitely a classic, and definitely a festive favorite of mine! Stay spooky, dudes 👻 And again, thanks for listening!

Back again this spooky season with four more covers! Week one of this year’s Inktober challenge is Carousel by Melanie Martinez. Slightly delayed because covid is still very real and very lame. But, I got most of this one done a little ahead of time. So, with my sneaky head start, and this delay, I’m right back on schedule again! Thanks, as always, for listening! I’ll be back next week!

Back at it with more Goats! I can’t wait for the new album, so I’m still channeling that excitement into working on learning more songs from the Mountain Goats’ catalogue. Especially All Hail West Texas! Thanks for listening, as always 👻

Might duck around and try to squeeze a cover of as many tracks off All Hail West Texas as I can before “Jenny from Thebes” drops. In the meantime, here’s another! My version is heavily inspired by Dessa’s version off of the “I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats” album from the aptly named podcast by Night Vale Presents. I highly encourage you to check out all the things. Video: ua-cam.com/video/...

My sister totally hooked me up with a Novation Launchkey! I am eternally grateful and so lucky to have a sister like her 🥲 I do not own the song, obviously, I just wanted to do a little cover to get my sea legs on this neat new tool! I am actually pretty geeked about how it turned out. Especially for a quick little day project! This is definitely game changing, so you can expect more tunes from...
Self Love Out of Spite - Original Song

Doing a little songwriting challenge for February, and this is what I came up with for the first week! The challenge isn’t about perfection or production. It’s just an exercise in seeing ideas through to completion. I think I need to come up with something better than sticking my shaker in my sock for future endeavors, but I had fun either way 😅 Like the lyrics say, I really wasn’t feeling it w...

When I decided to cover this one I was excited to play with organ sounds, but it ended up just me and my ukulele. Not to toot my horn, but I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. :) (I don’t own this song or lyrics, all credit goes to John and The Mountain Goats! (the picture is my partner’s feet and mine while waiting in line for our first tMG concert 🥲))
Bankrupt on Selling - Modest Mouse cover by GIVEUP:theGhost
Переглядів 163Рік тому
These guys have all been in my thoughts recently. Quite a few of Modest Mouse’s songs were some of the first I ever learned. They’ve always been one of my biggest influences. Jeremiah’s passing was heartbreaking news, and I know he and his family and band mates know how fucking incredible the music they made with him was, and how much impact it had. I wish his friends and loved ones had more ti...

    I love this. The line about the chords you used made me laugh out loud because that is one of my biggest points of being self-conscious about my songwriting. I also cackled when you said you pulled it out of your rear end. 💛

    Such a cool tune, it made me think about the importance of who we are minus perfection. For people that wanna do something great in their lives, youtube has become a huge deterrent, with all the flawlessness of its content. Your tiny song, on the other hand, welcomes and inspires bravery to make those quiet steps towards a bigger goal. For the first time I felt like I saw a friend on the screen, rather than a menace. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, it made a difference to me.

    Reddit brought me here. :D The vocals sound a bit robotery - probably because of a cheaper microphone - but other than that: It sounds very good. Keep it going! :)

    • @giveupghosty
      @giveupghosty Рік тому

      I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for listening💛 It’s a starter Audio-Technica Condenser, definitely nothin fancy! Still figuring out how to get it to sound natural. Since the whole track is midis, I time-quantized the vocals slightly to sound more cohesive with the digital sounding mix and rigid tempo. I also slapped some autotune on most of the bgv’s and a couple parts of the main vocals(unsuccessfully, still out of tune😅) because I hadn’t tried using it yet. This was more about practicing production than it was performance or perfection. And I’m definitely not stopping any time soon, this is my favorite way to spend a day!
