1.	A Christmas Song (Jethro Tull Cover) 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Once in Royal David's City stood a lonely cattle shed, where a mother held her baby. You'd do well to remember the things He later said. When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties, you'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump. You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making that Christmas spirit is not what you drink. So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry, and how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong? And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures, remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song. (Hey! Santa! Pass us that bottle, will you? Cheers!)
2.	Nutshell (Alice In Chains Cover) 03:57	lyrics	buy track
We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone No one to cry to, no place to call home My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find, and yet I find repeating in my head If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead
3.	Learning To Fly (Pink Floyd Cover) 04:51	lyrics	buy track
Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast How can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything No navigator to find my way home Unladened empty and turned to stone A soul in tension that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I Above the planet on a wing and a prayer My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can't keep my mind from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
4.	Hurt (Nine Inch Nails Cover) 04:01	lyrics	buy track
I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of shit Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
5.	Feed Us (Serj Tankian Cover) 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Maybe we believe she was ready to go In the morning light Maybe you believe That she was made of gold In the east where you killed her You lead us When you need to feed us You comfortably delete us When you need your fetus, You cheat us when you feed us with the lie, Stars look out and, Cheat us when you feed us with the lie, Stars look out, Goodbye, goodbye, She speaks unrehearsed Languages from skin In the morning light Painting shadows on the faces of the dead In front of their widows, You cheat us when you feed us with the lie, Stars look out and, Cheat us when you feed us with the lie, Before its too late, Do you know that life is ending, As we go, the dots connecting, We had our chance to save the garden, As it dies, our souls will harden, With these words chastising your conscience Were breaking through and praying for transcendence. But you deceived us all now, You cheat us when you feed us with the lie, Stars look out and, Cheat us when you feed us with the lie, Stars look out, Cheat us when you feed us with the lie, Stars look out and, Cheat us when you feed us with the lie, Stars look out.
6.	For Your Love (Yardbirds Cover) 02:27	info	buy track

about

A compilation of various cover songs I recorded from 2011 to 2016, most recorded on a TASCAM Digital Porta-Studio 8 Track DP-02. These songs were recorded mostly with the intent on learning how to use the board properly and seeing what could come of it.

A Christmas Song was recorded, mixed and mastered by Nathan Elliot in Numbatty Studios around Christmas time of 2016, he also performed percussion on the track. A huge thanks to him because it turned out amazing.

For Your Love was recorded on cassette around 2013/2014 with my father on vocals, guitar, bass, and me on drums. Its poor quality sure but its a fun listen.

All songs belong to their respected authors and their labels.
