[Cover Song] Kristin Hersh - Beestung

Original Track from Kristin: • Beestung
This cover version of one of my favorite Kristin Hersh tracks came about from the "Hardware Jams" Facebook group's weekly challenge - which this week was to remix something. Yes, this is more of a cover than a remix.... ;)
I had a really hard time singing this - both vocally and emotionally.
LYRICS:
Start with your fingers, they finger the change
that carries you home in our evening
You're beestung there
Press your palm to your snowcoated thought cage
Carries me over your thinking
You're beestung there
Between the tall buildings are snowcoated alleys
Between us is nothing but grace
Snow rides the wind down and drives past the window
Falling all over your face
I fly out the window and then ride the wind down
You fit me into my place
You're beestung here
Start with your eyes when they eye me in twilight
Picking up pieces of mine
Tie me up with the twine in your eyelight
String me from heaven to time
You beestung me
Between the tall buildings are snowcoated alleys
Between us is nothing but grace
Help me up when you hear me behind you
Falling all over the place
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late

[@richardlambou1416]

I"m not familiar with the song. Loved it anyway, so your version was good. Felt the emotion. Gutsy AF and paid off.

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Thanks, Richard! Was really hard just to get through this one! 🤗😁👊

[@richardlambou1416]

@@ElectronisoundsAudio You did though. And it made for a more engaging performance!

Beautiful and raw!!
I love Kristin (and Throwing Muses) so this was a very special surprise, and a treat!!!!! ❤️

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Thanks, Allan! 🤗😁👊
I've been a fan since waaaaaay back when I first heard, Muses "Dizzy" played on a late-night MTV show called "120 Minutes" - the good 'ol days!! 💙💙

[@PoyntToo]

Sounds really heartfelt and lovely. Sometimes the meaning of the song out shines the delivery. I think you nailed both my man ❤️❤️

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Really appreciate that, Homie! Big Ups, man! 🤗😁👊

[@FUNKINETIK]

That is so sweet. Reminds of an old Art Garfunkel album I’ve got, haven’t played it for ages, there’s a lovely song on it called ‘Waters of March’.

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Hey Hey! Thanks for the kind words - Much appreciated! 😁🙏👊

[@LordHaveMercy]

That's beautiful. Reminds me of Robert Wyatt's voice.

Hey Hey, Frank! Thank you for watching! 😁🙏👊

[@kentaccordionist]

Well done Dean. Vocals could have been slightly higher in the mix. But if I could sing that well I would be happy.

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Thanks very much for the support! Big Ups! 😁🙏👊

[@thobydavis7649]

That’s lovely… a hint of Neil Young in your voice I feel… beautiful song sung with feeling x

This one was reallllly hard to commit to releasing publicly... ;)

[@kgbstudio]

Great one, HWJ makes us fearless huh?? I like that you, like me cant help but move your hands, even though your are doing a slow song.

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Yo, Homie! Thanks for checking it out, Man! 😁🙏👊
I don't know about fearless - I was crazy nervous just trying to get a full take, then even more nervous about sharing it publicly after I finally got through it. 😬
It was for sure the weekly challenge prompt that encouraged me to do it, though!! 😃😃

[@kgbstudio]

@@ElectronisoundsAudio Well HWJ makes us more courageous and open to try things, a more loose attitude to making music and having fun. I had never even filmed (seen) my self singing before HWJ, so I didnt even know how much I move my hands while singing. lol .

[@mago.di_music]

Nicee man! Beautiful song, Beatles style that we don't listen anymore..
