“Kate” – Ben Folds Five (guitar cover)

Video:


This video is "en hommage" to Ben Folds' live streaming acoustic performance for the sxsw4japan.org fundraiser. link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfxey_nidmc

And here, I've made the tweeting easy for ya: http://clicktotweet.com/x3MP0

As for the lyrical element, this is me learning automation and motion tracking with Final Cut. Fun, but tedious stuff.
No mp3 for you this time. The audio was recorded by the camera. I'm hoping to make a more filled out audio recording soon.

For all my fellow Ben Folds Five brethren, I hope I did the song some justice. For all the Kate's in the world... you're all wonderful.

And if you have the chance, bug Ben Folds about this video via twitter.

In this moment someone placed a bet,
hit a moving car, signed another check.
Though I rise and fall like a dreamer's chest
I begin again as this moment ends.

Silver Lake

Nice Peter and I wrote this after my roommates moved out with their upright piano.
It was a bummer of a day, but at least we got to make this tune.

Please swing me gently into a shallow grave.
Before you met me, did someone love you the same way?
Who gave you comforts on lonely nights?
Who broke your silence...
taught you to write your only song?
In one more summer you'll be gone.

I let you make your soft escape
but I'll see you in Silver Lake.

Half-empty boxes of useless shit
As long as they go with you I'll get used to it
And in the space you used to sleep
I can fit this huge TV.

I let you make your soft escape
but I'll see you in Silver Lake

I miss the days we spent inside trading the words we used to
have to hide from others, but we always told each other
what we felt and it was sung
and every word we said
was one thing:
love.

Here is a new version of a ukulele tune I wrote about being totally bummed you have no people to play music with. Thankfully, things have changed.

Say what's up to Nice Peter for me:

Oh I wanna get up
Oh I wanna get out
But I cannot detect
The motive in my legs

I'm just sittin' around
Dreamin' things up
Listenin' to bands I met
On the Internet

Everyone's gone solo
Everyone's got their own song to sing
Well that's all fine and dandy
But where can I find the community?

Oh I want to get on to the road
See the country side with some friends of mine
Meet some good kids just trying to live
And we'll dance through the night
Lose the track of time

Everyone's gone solo
Everyone's got their own song to sing
Man, it's really boring
Where can I find the community?

Strung from a light
my head loves the abuse
shook my head out of tune
I'm throwing the fight.

I'm trying to find
how I got to your roof
shared the cheapest of wine
cooked us way too much food.

Rowing up lover's stream
Bailed out when the oars couldn't reach

You're crazy and you're beautiful
You light up the nights
of this broken down bar scene
and every one of our lives
that you touch.
How you touch.

Courageous and quiet
the strongest of ships
but your heart breathes a fire
that your mind can't equip.

Take only what you need
for your voyage to sea
Toss the baggage off the side
that stows away underneath.

Sails down
but don't go to far
Without you
I would have sunk in my scars

You're crazy and you're beautiful
you light up the days
of my brightest reflections
and all of the ways
that you breathed new beliefs in me
we shared the same faith
over laughter and pasta
I enjoy you
and cherish your place
in my life
in this life.

Sheep Go to Heaven (Cake cover)

Filed Under: video by dante — 2 Comments

Video:


Semi-acoustic, kazoo-ridden, cowbell'n cover of Cake's Sheep Go to Heaven. This song means a lot to me on many levels and I've been playing it live for the past 9 months or so. I hope you dig. It would be great to hear from my fellow Cake fans. Hopefully I did them some justice.

About the production: Guitar and vox recorded simultaneously in an empty room. Everything else was later overdubbed. All instrumentation and singing in the video was later poorly synced up, but you knew that.
Oh yea, and I play it in B Major because I don't have those John McCrea balls.

Originally entitled "Jet Lag Ukulele" I wrote this April 2010 the morning after my first trip overseas to the eternally charming and beautiful Italia.

Keep April slow so May can last.
I'll play your show, please pay my gas.
The tired sun begins its climb.
It's 16:00 Roman time.

There's no use sleeping
and my hunger is out of line.
It's 16:00 Roman time.

The cafe creme brunettes and the lovers show
there's still some hope for old Romeo.
They wash the streets with moon divine.
It's 16:00 Roman time.

There's no use sleeping
and my hunger is out of line.
It's 16:00 Roman time.

Love has more power
than poor Caesar in his prime.
It's 16:00 Roman time.
