Weighs Down My Soul

Check out Bat Faced Girl's great song: "WEIGHS DOWN MY SOUL" and my cover version of it at

UNDER THE COVERS

Get your covers on this page too! Be creative! Surprise the author with a new twist on his or her masterpiece. Obtain permission from the author and include the copyright symbol ( © ) in the title.
The original and the cover will both appear on the page. Get out of your own head for a while and get into someone else's. It's a real trip!! You'll both learn something about yourselves and each other.
The Beatles grabbed attention in the early years by doing great covers of motown songs. They had an agenda and they knew how to advance it.

Remember, it's not a question of trying to go the song "better" ~ It's just a fun exercise to make the song "different" from it's original form. It's all about creative interpretation and paying homage to a fellow
IMP artist. Give another artist a boost ~ It's good karma and it all comes back to you.

So liking this station! Different dimensions to the same tunes. We're getting there with our version of Easy. I always love listening to that song, but I'm amazed at what is really in there now that we've taken it apart to try and re-create. I haven't done a vocal track in a long while and Chandra has written some words that are so great to sing.

Those would be Richard Scotti vocals on Weighs Down My Soul, if I'm not mistaken? - nicely done!

Lyin', Dan ~ That's a royal compliment coming from you because I know you are a very discerning listener and a straight shooter. I'm singing the vocals and thank you so much!!!

Delores ~ Thank you for your kind words!

By all means, Delores ~ sing on Chandra's song. We all love your work and Chandra's work. It will be so cool to hear you express that love in your cover. As you pointed out, it's such a revelation to get "inside" the structure of someone else's song that you've only heard from the "outside".

I feel so validated that you and Dan dig my cover although my ultimate goal was not to try and make the cover "better" than the original, just to make it stand on it's own merits and pay homage to the author's creation.

Pay homage to other IMP artists. Instant karma!

Cool! Nice job.

I've done this before on another board and it was a lot of fun and a great learning experience.

I have a few on my page I'd love to hear different versions of. For instance The Penitentiary Blues. It's a song I've done over many times and I'm really still not happy with it.
Another one is Dance. This one was re-done by another Artist and he did a great job with it but I'd like to hear other possibilities.

Of course all of my songs on my page are open to anyone that would like to try their style.
