Here’s my cover of Nowhere Man by The Beatles. It’s written mainly by John Lennon and released in 1965 on the album Rubber Soul. It was one of the first Beatles songs not about love or romance. Instead, it reflects Lennon’s feelings of isolation and uncertainty. The lyrics describe a man who lives in his own world, disconnected from reality “making all his nowhere plans for nobody.” (more…)
We made a cover of Because for our friend Arturo, who passed away recently. He was a big Beatles fan. I did the three different vocal parts myself, and Hans produced it all and created the video. Because was originally sung by The Beatles and released on the 1969 album Abbey Road. Arturo, this one is for you. (more…)
My cover of Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s (2006) . It tells the story of a long-distance relationship, sung from the perspective of a guy reassuring Delilah that their love is strong despite the miles between them. It became a huge hit worldwide, known for its gentle melody and emotional, conversational lyrics.This song also really called for a harmony, so why not? Hans made the video again.It was Sue’s choice for the WSC. (more…)
My cover of Let It Be, with me accompanying myself on piano. It had been on my list for quite a while, but always had to make way for other projects. Richard’s choice this week on singeo was a great opportunity to finally record it. I’ve put the chords into iReal Pro as a guide for rhythm and playing – it’s a bit slower than the original.
Let it be is written by Paul McCartney in 1970. Inspired by a dream about his late mother, he turned her comforting words “let it be” into a message of hope and peace. It was the title track of the band’s final studio album, marking a bittersweet farewell to the most influential group in pop history.
My cover of Life on Mars?, one of David Bowie’s most iconic songs (Hunky Dory, 1971). It tells the story of a young girl disillusioned with reality and the shallow nature of society, escaping into fantasy – into “the silver screen” and the question of whether there’s “life on Mars.” The lyrics are surreal and satirical, filled with disjointed snapshots of modern culture, while the music swells from a piano ballad into a grand, cinematic climax.
