If you’ve followed my YouTube Channel long enough, you can start to trace trends where I have a lot of activity followed by a dormant period. I wish I could fix that but the truth is I don’t do this full time and there are things I need to handle outside of music. Fortunately I finished up some sports leagues and my weeknight schedule has a little more free time to focus on music. Adding a few live shows has forced me to learn some new songs and I’d like to use YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter as a sounding board for feedback from fans. The first cover you will see below is a song called Try by the amazingly talented Ernie Halter. I heard this song years ago from a video Ernie posted with Josh Hoge and was fortunate to see him play it live while I lived in Chicago. It sticks out to me as a deep song about longing for the one you love and feeling willing to give everything you have to keep the relationship alive.
The second video is a relatively new John Mayer song that popped up in my feed on YouTube. It’s called Hotel Bathroom Song but will most likely be re-branded as Everything You’ll Ever Be on his new CD (if it ever comes out). I enjoy the lyrics quite a bit. And the soft guitar riff with the tiny step down in between the major notes is a nice touch. It’s a very classic Mayer acoustic song. It fit well with my vocal range so I gave it a shot last night with just the condenser mic and this is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy it.
As always, thanks for listening. Follow me on Twitter and Like me on Facebook.
