MA TANTE CHANTE
The place for PetraH's musical quest. It's all about music and just for fun.
The Boxer
My version of The Boxer (Simon and Garfunkel, from the album Bridge over Troubled Water, 1970)
The Boxer, Terri’s choice this time for our song challenge, is largely autobiographical: Paul Simon wrote it about his experiences as a young musician in the early 1960s, when he faced one rejection after another in the music industry. (more…)
I Am … I Said
My cover of I Am… I Said by Neil Diamond (album Stones, 1971). It was Terri’s choice for our Song Challenge. The song is known for its introspective lyrics and emotional depth, reflecting themes of identity and self-discovery. Diamond has described it as one of his most autobiographical works, capturing the tension between his public persona and his inner self. (more…)

My cover of Shape of My Heart by Sting (1993, album Ten Summoner’s Tales) for our song challenge on singeo.com. it was Ray’s pick this time.

The chorus was especially tricky to keep in rhythm, but it was a fun challenge to tackle. I shortened it a bit and did 3 verses and 2 times the chorus. (more…)
