This weekend I finally found a few hours to record my cover of @M57 's beautiful track 'End of the skyline' for the cover challenge 2018.
I'm very shy of my vocal work, so I decided to record it acapella ;-). Feel free to be brutal with me. Kill me. Or let me know what worked ;-) For me this is a 'study'.
Of course I checked in the background with a few of our fellows 'ears' I trust, and already got some nice pointers to help me how to improve. I hope I'll have a few hours this week to implement the changes I agree with. But for now, first please a big round of applause to @M57 for creating this beautiful song!
Here's a link to Mark's breathtaking song (original): https://soundcloud.com/m57/the-end-of-the-skyline
Let me know how you think/feel after listening to both versions! Do you like the different approaches? Should Mark or I throw each other's work in the shredder? Anything you'd like to let both of us know. Share it with us!
Lyrics (used in the cover):
A river of oaks glides
Down the hills that follow the contours into a fog line
And as the clouds fill in the sky
Edie asks me to take her to Ashville
Then high winds, they blow us apart
And lightning strikes and we begin to doubt
Then all the things that can conspire to turn the car around
So we’ll never see the end of the skyline
If dragons could give us reminders they’d tell us
You’re barely fleeting and you need to be much kinder
And take your place between the weeds and stars and gods you can’t understand
