"I Can't Help Falling in Love" guitar cover
"Can’t Help Falling in Love" guitar cover (and maybe a little life lesson). I started these covers to make sure I actually sat down to practice the guitar. Something I rarely did before. 🙈 If I made a promise to myself, had a deadline, and a healthy fear of public humiliation, I definitely would practice. Right? Turns out, mostly yes. And I WORKED on this song. I had a lesson with @bear_in_a_barn_nyc on Saturday and I was frustrated. “I’m really struggling. I’m practicing but I can’t get through it without making a mistake. Recording is gonna be a nightmare, blah, blah, blah”. Of course he was encouraging and helped me through it (bc that’s who he is) but I was really afraid I wouldn’t have a take that I would feel comfortable enough sharing today.
Through that struggle, I think I learned a lesson. I recorded take after take, and I finally thought I had one that was okay. Then I listened to it and all I could hear was my AC blasting in the background. Well, it was 95° on Sunday! So I sat my ass back down, and recorded a few more takes. Then I stopped. I realized I wasn’t gonna get it perfect. I’m NEVER GONNA GET IT PERFECT. What the hell is perfect anyway? I think I’m finally understanding that that’s not the goal. It’s about growth. It’s about learning and failing and trying again. This cover is nowhere near perfect but it’s where I am right now. I’m not gonna fake it. I thought about editing it so it might sound ‘perfect’, but I didn’t. I am learning to play the guitar. I’m not an expert. Here is where I’m at, right now. In this moment. It’s not perfect, but it’s real and that’s enough for me.

"What Was I Made For?" guitar cover

WHAT WAS I MADE FOR? guitar cover #6: Apparently not playing the guitar while singing. 🙈 But I tried. And tried. And then tried some more. But at a certain point, you gotta say say, “it’s good enough for now”. You gotta let go! This is my let go. I’ve loved this song from the first time I heard it. From the first note sung. It so deserved the Oscar. Thank you @billieeilish @finneas for this gif...

ONLY YOU guitar cover #7: I love the original version of this song, so I decided to make it sound as depressing as possible. I started working on this song on my acoustic, but then I bought myself an electric guitar and @bear_in_a_barn_nyc suggested I try it on that. I listened to my teacher (most of the time). And so here it is. This is the first song I ever played on an electric guitar. I’m n...

I didn’t practice enough & didn’t have as many lessons as usual this month (it’s what happens when your teacher is a rockstar and is prepping for his second stint playing on Broadway.

"High and Dry" guitar cover #4: “High and Dry”. I’ve loved this song since I first heard it. It’s still one of my favs. Proof that you don’t need a lot of chords for a great song, it’s what you do with them. This song has 3 chords, 3! And I still f’d it up (just look at my pained face) lol. Guitar is torture. Sorry, @radiohead but thank you! . . . . #guitar #guitarcover #coversong #radiohead #h...

Why don’t you want me? Why am I not enough for you? Why am I not good enough? I’ve struggled with these questions since my first broken heart. And I never seem to get any answers. Turns out I’m not going to get one, because there is none. That's because I am actually good enough. Yes, maybe I wasn’t the one for, what’s his name again?! And I might not be the one for you. Yes you, the ‘you’ read...

This is it! The final episode of this journey, “The Journey to CHOOSE ME”. I wish I could sit here and write that this experiment was a total success, that I’ve completely let go of the desire to please an audience, or that I no longer hope that everyone loves this song as much as I do, but that would be a lie. I do believe I’ve made steps in the right direction. Though baby steps, it’s an impr...

The Journey to Choose Me Ep 5: Tracking vocals
Переглядів 249 місяців тому
Episode 5: Tracking vocals- This is my favorite part of the whole process, the singing. It’s the reason I started writing in the first place, so that I never had to wait for permission from someone else, to do what I love. Even though I didn’t know it at the time, writing has now become like a small act of rebellion, or my own declaration of independence. It's become a huge part of my life. But...

I’m grateful that Evan Mitchell, an incredibly talented drummer and lovely human, shows up each time I ask him to play (and sorry Evan, but one day it’ll be for a live show). “Choose Me (Version I)” is so much better because you were a part of it. Thank you! This episode is also a little more emotional than the others, but hey, that...

Episode 3: Arranging & recording the demo (pt 2): In Pt 2, I continue to have zero clue what I’m doing, but I keep going. I hunt for more rhythmic sounds, as well as some cringe worthy drums (who knew keeping a simple beat could be so difficult). Oh, I also record some vocals in my living room. All of this, so I can send a demo to Brett and he can fix it all. And that’s just what he did!. . . ....

Episode 3: Arranging & recording the demo (Pt 1): I finished writing a song. Yay! Time for a celebration. But a short one. Because I never feel like it’s done until I’ve sent it to a “real” musician (who actually knows what they’re doing) and they get their hands on it. When I first started writing, it was my brilliant friends James & Andie. These days it’s my equally brilliant friend, Brett. I...

Honestly, I don’t find writing that easy. Sure, some things are easier than others, but I’ve never been lucky enough to sit down and have “Let It Be” pour out. Maybe I need to do more of it. Or maybe that’s just not my lot in life. Either way, though l love it and I'm so grateful it's a part of my life, it can be a struggle. And this song was just that. However, I held on.

Why do we create? Who is it for? Should we let outside opinions influence the work? What the hell am I doing? No, seriously, what the hell am I doing with my life?

    You are your best critic. Btw you got very melodic vocals. Whenever i try to sing my songs i get to the point where i literally hate my voice, i just hate it. But, then i remember that the songs i compose was always created for my betterment , to help me out of situations and to express myself. And noone else will do a better job than me to express and indulge the feelings i want in my songs. Same goes to you the songs are your stories and they are beautiful, you and your journey too.
