WSC
My cover of Mrs Robinson, originally sung by Simon and Garfunkel in 1968. I performed both the lead vocal and the harmony. Production and video by Hnzz. (more…)
My cover of All I have to do is dream. This was Richard’s choice for the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo.com. This is a classic song by The Everly Brothers, released in 1958. Written by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, it became a huge hit, reaching No. 1 on the U.S. pop, country, and R&B charts — a rare achievement.
The song expresses longing and love: the singer only has to dream to be with the one he desires. It remains one of their most iconic and enduring songs, blending early rock ’n’ roll with country-pop. (more…)
The Song Is You (Joe’s choice for the WSC) is a timeless classic, originally written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II for the 1932 musical Music in the Air. The song beautifully captures how someone you love can become the music that lives inside you — a melody you carry with you. I was inspired by the version Doris Day recorded in 1956, and I really enjoyed making my own interpretation of it. (more…)
Give me one reason (Tracy Chapman). This was Terri’ choice for the WSC on Singeo. Give Me One Reason is a blues-rock song by Tracy Chapman, released in 1995 on her album New Beginning. The song tells the story of someone ready to walk away from a relationship, asking for just one reason to stay. With its repetitive structure and soulful guitar riff, the song captures emotional strength and vulnerability. It became Chapman’s biggest hit in the U.S. and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 1997. (more…)
Top of the World by The Carpenters (Terri’s choice for the WSC on Singeo). This song is a cheerful love song by The Carpenters, released in 1972. It expresses the feeling of overwhelming happiness and gratitude inspired by love. With its catchy melody and optimistic lyrics, the song became one of the duo’s biggest hits and remains a classic example of their soft pop style. (more…)
For the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo, I chose Scarborough Fair (originally sung by Simon & Garfunkel). I recorded multiple vocal layers for it, as we also sing this song in harmony with our choir. The other participants in the challenge are free to choose any Simon & Garfunkel song. Hans took care of the production and created fitting visuals to turn it into a video. Enjoy!
