Budapest

My cover of Budapest by George Ezra (album Wanted on Voyage, 2013). It was Christoph’s choice for the Fortnight Song Challenge. It’s a charming, slightly ironic love song about being willing to give up everything, real or imagined, for someone you care about. (more…)

Getting the vocal flow right was a real challenge in itself. For my cover, I added some harmony in the chorus to try to give it the warmth and reassurance that the song carries. (more…)
