Happened to see Carmina’s cover on the 2nd single that I really like from Breaking Benjamin’s album ‘ Dear Agony’. This 18 years old sweet looking girl is from Philippines and I love the fact that she plays the song out on her keyboard instead of singing along to the song. I think she did a fairly good job on this song as compared to most of the covers I’ve heard. Enjoy and check out her other covers too !
Breaking Benjamin “Give me a sign”
Dead star shine
Light up the sky
I’m all out of breath
My walls are closing in
Days go by
Give me a sign
Come back to the end
The shepherd of the damned
I can feel you falling away
No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you
starting to break
I’ll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever – and ever
the scars will remain
I’m falling apart
Leave me here
forever in the dark
Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care?
Is anybody there?
Take this life
Empty inside
I’m already dead
I’ll rise to fall again
It’s been awhile since I last posted an AOTW (Artist of the Week), let’s bring it back with another wonderful myspace artiste who just released her debut album. Bianca Gisselle is definitely not just a pretty face but has a wonderful voice which I instantly fell in love with.
I like how she puts up videos of the recordings for her debut album too. Good way to update your fans and keep them in the loop. Afterall, they are the ones who helped you realize your dreams too ?
Check out this video of her doing a cover of One Republic’s ‘Say (All I Need)’
One Republic - Say (All I Need)
Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing’s turned out how you wanted
Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold
Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You’re doing your best and
Your best look
You’re praying that you make it
Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold
Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)
I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it
I love Matt Nathanson‘s “Come On Get Higher” since the first time I’ve heard it last year by chance. Meant to blog about it but keeps forgetting. So here I am today, blogging Matt Nathanson as my Artist Of The Week (AOTW) but I came across Sugarland, a Grammy Award-winning American country music duo did this brilliant cover for the Matt Nathanson’s song.
Sugarland’s music video of Stay was so emotional, felt like crying along with her. Though the song is more suitable for a girl who’s in a love-triangle situation (with the guy deciding between 2 girls of course). Depressing song but great vocal.
Anyways, here’s the 2 versions of “Come On Get Higher”. Which do you prefer ? =)
Sugarland’s Cover :
Original by Matt Nathanson :
“Come On Get Higher”
I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what’s next
Make you believe
Make you forget
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard and drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard and drown me in love
I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what’s next
Make you believe
And make you forget
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard and drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard and drown me in love
I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
And I see angels and devils and God
When you come on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Sing sha la la la
Sing sha la la la la
Come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard and drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Pull me down hard and drown me, drown me in love
(Come on get higher, loosen my lips)
It’s all wrong
(Faith and desire and the swing of your hips)
It’s all wrong
(Pull me down hard and drown me, drown me in love)
It’s so right
Come on get higher
(Come on get higher, loosen my lips)
Come on and get higher
(Faith and desire and the swing of your hips)
Because everything works love
Because everything works in your arms
Actually I was looking for Glee songs on youtube and came across his cover of “Don’t Stop Believing”
Really enjoyed it and I think he has a great voice (even though the video was alil creepy at first – clones attack ! haha)
I thought it was a great cover and check out Sam’s myspace for other covers !
Don't Stop Believing
Just a small town girl
livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the nights
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop!
