Finn Brothers - Edible Flowers
Finn Brothers - Edible Flowerslive recording of Finn brothers track. I've always loved playing this song, even if it is a bit of a stretch for my voice in places. The first chorus is normally a bit dodgy, but if I get through it, the second chorus is better - because I managed to get through the test run! I love the sentiment of the song too, nobody really knows what it's all about and all you an do is enjoy the good times when they show up.

Fall at your feet
Fall at your feetCover version of Neil Finns song. I'm testing out a new recording set up - which seems to be working well. I can record in the living room and then send the files up to the office for editing. Great! I'm recording with a Rode nt1 for the guitar and an sm58 for the vocals. I've got no pickup on my acoustic, which makes it a bit more difficult to get the right kind of sound. It should sound wooden and open but I don't think I'm quite there yet!
