Ellie Goulding - High For This (The Weeknd Cover)

lexitheyeti:

“High For This (The Weeknd Cover)” | Ellie Goulding

May 13th

After performing “Let Me Go,” I decided to play “Chicago” by Sufjan Stevens so I wouldn’t leave the stage an emotional wreck. I like the song a lot and it makes me happy and it’s simple to play and easy to sing. I hope it sounds good! Again, thanks to Nathan for recording. 

2:28 PM

This is me performing All Get Out’s “Let Me Go” at our school’s Open Mic Night.

It’s a little iffy at some parts, simply because I somewhat lost composure. Also, the song’s really tough to sing at some points. The yelling at the end is awful, but I don’t really care. I’m really happy with the way it went. S/O to Nathan Leopard (http://immunetowater.tumblr.com) for recording!

Fragile Bird

Here’s my cover of

City and Colour | Fragile Bird

Dallas Green is so good. This song is so good. Those are basically the reasons I covered this song. The guitar is incredibly fun, and it’s really nice to sing as well. 

Yay!

Shiver

by Nick Barrs

Here’s my cover of 

Coldplay | Shiver

My band and I covered this song for this year’s Battle of The Bands. It was so cool. There’s no specific reason, but I just really love the song. It’s full of sound, and plus, it’s Coldplay. Anyway, here’s my own personal cover of it. 

Falsettos are really tough. But the guitar is awesome.

In Your Atmosphere

by Nick Barrs

Here’s my attempt at covering

John Mayer | In Your Atmosphere (Where The Light Is)

This song is so beautiful. Of course, I can’t do it justice. But it’s extremely fun to play due to the harmonic and pretty tuning. The falsettos are really tough, and my voice is a little high to handle parts of the verse, but overall I like the cover. Especially since it’s been a while since I’ve been able to make one. Yay.

Let me know what you think!

These Days

by Nick Barrs

Here’s my cover of

Foo Fighters | These Days

This song was really tough to sing. I mean, it’s Dave Grohl. The “Easy for you to say!” was incredibly difficult, and you can hear that in my voice. Regardless, I really enjoy this cover. I synced the guitar layers well and I like it. As for meaning, the lyrics say it all. Enjoy.

These Days (instrumental)

I’ve been working on a cover of 

Foo Fighters - These Days.

So far, I’ve got all the instrumentals I want, so here is that. Let me know if it sounds all right, please! It’s quite a bit of layers, so it was somewhat difficult to produce, but I think it sounds nice. 

I’ll record vox as soon as possible.

Such Great Heights

by Nick Barrs

My cover of:

Such Great Heights (acoustic) | Ben Gibbard

Not much to say about this one. This song always makes me super happy! The Postal Service in general is just an awesome project from an awesome singer (Ben Gibbard) from an awesome band (Death Cab).

My microphone has been acting really weird lately. It’s very fuzzy and blah. Hopefully I can get it fixed to record better soon. But anyways,

have a listen, please!

Okay, here goes. My cover of:

Say Anything | Cemetery

There’s no way on Earth I could really compete with Max Bemis, but I like this cover. The guitar’s really fun, and I like the song in general. The yelling was really tough though, but it was really cool to try. 

I dig this song a ton, so tell me how you think! Please. Also, my last cover of Stay by Safetysuit (which I uploaded last night) has 0 notes so far. :( Please listen to it if you haven’t! It’s one of my favorites.

Let me know what you think on both of them!

Stay

My cover of 

Safetysuit | Stay

Sorry it’s been so long guys! My laptop has been and still is broken for an unknown reason. I’ve replaced the charger, and also gotten a new battery but it still won’t work correctly, so I’ve gotta take it somewhere to get checked out soon. But until that happens, I’m just using my mom’s laptop. So that’s why the quality might sound different.

But anyways, here is my newest cover! I’ve always loved this song. This is actually now one of my favorite covers. Let me know what you think!

Better Off This Way

by Nick Barrs

My cover of

A Day To Remember | Better Off This Way

Always been a huge ADTR fan. Both new and old. Despite what all of the “TRUE HARDCORE FANS XOXOXO” say about What Separates Me From You, I honestly think it’s a great album. This is one of my favorites from it, along with You Be Tails, I’ll Be Sonic, and Out Of Time.

The “Oh oh oh”s were kind of tough for some reason, but other than that I think I did an alright job. 

Let me know what you think!

Gavin's Song

Here is my attempt of

Marc Broussard | Gavin’s Song

This song is really awesome. There’s not really any other meaning for me doing it.

Tell me what you think!
