Thanks to KrisSHred for playing such a wonderful rendition of this song on guitar! I decided to do it on piano just reading from the chord sheets. I didn't use any microphones or anything just thebuilt   more...in camera mic, so You cant really hear much of the uniqities of my voice. Ill have to do a few more covers the way i did the Cold Water cover, where I plug in to my studio and put the sound to the muted video later on!  less

Kris Shred - So Good (26.12.2005)


[1] Feel like I wear a crown
So it's better to go alone
No second left to lose
Is what I have to choose

[C] Today, what I feel today
Today.., cannot be that real!
Oh yeah, I feel good that way
It does, steal my pain away

Today!
Today!


[2] Love will kill your mind
Till there is nothing left of you
But time kills all your pain
So you can start all over again

[C] Today, what I feel today
Today.., cannot be that real!
Oh yeah, I feel good that way
It does, steal my pain away

So good!
Felt so good!
So good!
Felt so good!


[3] Tomorrow I'll sit my rocking chair
Tomorrow I'll think about her good
What's lost and what's still left, of us
She was.., she once was my girl

[C] Today, what I feel today
Today.., cannot be that real!
Oh yeah, I feel good that way
It does, steal my pain away

So good!
Felt so good!
So good!
Felt so good!

I've loved the music of Peter Paul and Mary ever since I heard them. So here's my rendition. The song was originally written by Gordon Lightfoot.
I made a percussion MIDI track to accompany the song and   more...also added a bassline (played with my guitar).

Enjoy!

In the Early Morning Rain

In the early mornin' rain,
with a dollar in my hand,
And an achin' in my heart,
and my pocket's full of sand.
I'm a long way from home,
and I miss my loved one so,
In the early mornin' rain,
with no place to go.

Out on runway number nine,
big 7 o 7 set to go.
But I'm out here on the grass,
where the pavement never grows.
Well the liquor tasted good,
and the women all were fast.
There she goes my friend,
she's rollin' down at last.

Hear the mighty engines roar,
see the silver wing on high.
She's away and westward bound,
far above the clouds she flies.
Where the mornin' rain don't fall,
and the sun always shines.
She'll be flyin' o'er my home,
in about three hours time.

This old airport's got me down,
it's no earthly good to me.
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground,
cold and drunk as I might be.
Can't jump a jet plane,
like I can a freight train.
So I'd best be on my way,
in the early mornin' rain.
So I'd best be on my way,
in the early mornin' rain.

I had to do a pantomime video, otherwise the German AericWinter Mafia would   more...have killed me ;o)
So here it is - Enjoy or whatever...

You have to solve what I show in the video and if you know it, you can write it down in the comment area. If you guess right, it's your turn to make a new mime video *g*
One comment per day per user.
The word to guess is a german word. Next time I could take an English word so everyone who wants to could participate. Wouldn't it be cool? :D
_____

Die Regeln: Versucht zu erraten, was ich pantomimisch darstelle. Einmal pro User pro Tag darf geraten werden. Wer gewinnt, muss sich dann fuer Pantomime Nr. 10 aufopfern *g* ;p

Viel Spass und Erfolg! ;o)

GREEN HEAVY COTTON CLOUDS

Lyrics by a friend of mine, 'Ghoti'
http://www.myspace.com/littleghoti

Music by Kris Shred
http://www.myspace.com/krisshred

Am E, Am E, Am E - C G Am
Hey stranger, I wonder how - life's been treating you?
Did you ever get lost - knowing no place to go to?
Hey stranger, I wonder what - might have been if we'd met
If we were soulmates, if happiness was what we'd get

I did not ask for what - I'd really like to know
I didn't come to see what's - behind that picture of yours
And now I'm leaving you - with you in my thoughts
I just can't stop dreaming - it's getting even worse

F G Dm Am
Green heavy cotton clouds - they're falling on me
F G Dm Am
Green heavy cotton clouds - they're calling for me
F G E Am
Green heavy cotton clouds - are swallowing me
F E7 Am E Am
Surrounding me in a state of despair

Am E, Am E, Am E - C G Am
Soon I am running out of air - tried to escape but now I frown
Green heavy cotton clouds - they're dragging me down

Am E, Am E, Am E - C G Am
Hey stranger, what do you think of this? - Did you ever feel like a total mess?
Now that I've said too much - You know I have to flee in a rush
Maybe someday you'll run after me - but till that day I'm hiding away
From green heavy cotton clouds - cause they're catching up all on me

F G Dm Am
Green heavy cotton clouds - they're falling on me
F G Dm Am
Green heavy cotton clouds - they're calling for me
F G E Am
Green heavy cotton clouds - are swallowing me
F E7 Am E Am
Surrounding me in a state of despair

F E E7 Am E Am
Surrounding me in a sta_____te - of despair

Chords: Am Em G -- Dm7 Em

[1] Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

[2] Wonder this time where   more...she's gone
Wonder if she's gonna to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away


[3] And I know, I know, I know, I know ...

Hey I oughta leave the young thing alone!
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

[1] All this talk of gettin' old - it's gettin' me down my love
Like a cat in a bag - waiting to drown - this time I'm coming down

[2] And I hope you're thinking of me - as you lay down on your side
Now   more...the drugs don't work they just make u worse but I know I'll c ur face again
Now the drugs don't work they just make u worse but I know I'll c ur face again

[3] But I know I'm on a losing streak - cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show - then just let me know, and I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work they just make u worse but I know I'll c ur face again

[C] Cause baby ooohhhh - if heaven calls I'm coming too
Just like you said - you leave my life I'm better of dead

[4] All this talk of gettin' old - it's gettin' me down my love
Like a cat in a bag - waiting to drown, this time I'm coming down
Now the drugs don't work they just make u worse but I know I'll c ur face again

[C] Cause baby ooohhhh - if heaven calls I'm coming too
Just like you said - you leave my life I'm better of dead

Darling remember from when you come to me
that   more...I'm the pretender, I'm not, what I'm supposed to be
but who could know, lf I'm a traitor?
time's the revelator

They caught the katy, and left me a mule to ride
The fortune lady came along she walked beside
but every word seemed to date her
time's the revelator - ...the revelator

Up in the morning, up and on the ride
I drive in to corning and all the spindles whine
and every day is getting straighter
time's the revelator - ...the revelator

Leaving the valley and fucking out of sight
I'll go back to Cali where I can sleep out every night
and watch the waves and move the fader
time's the revelator - ...the revelator
Queen of fakes and Imitators
Time's the revelator

Added 2nd voice (first take, didn't practice the 2nd voice before)

Enjoy! Happy Easter! ;o)

Please vote and comment. Thanks :o)

ABOUT THE RECORDING:
First recorded the track with guitar and voice.
Then recorded a bassline with my guitar (changed the frequencies to more bassy), added another guitar,   more...a second voice, played the keys on my synthesizer (strings), and programmed the drums (crash, closed hihiat, bassdrum, snare).

The first recording (guitar and voice) was ONE track, that's why the vocals are a bit soft now - I couldn't push them up cuz the guitar would have been too loud then ;)

ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE SONG:
The song has got no verse or chorus. It consists out of 7 parts, as you can find in 70s Art-Rock or in today's Progressive-Rock. That makes the song individual. I like this way of songwriting. It sets everything apart from the usual mainstream.

Kris Shred - Hole Inside Of Me (28.06.2006)
- Lyrics by Nessa Duarte & Kris Shred

there s a hole inside of me
where will it go and when it will be?
there's nowhere to go and no end to see
when nothing's goin right i don't care about thee

i am feeling blue today, something missing here around
thou i think and see, i have everything
where's the sun in my life, that i'd like to see
something's missing here today, to make me feel complete...

the hours pass by, and i'm counting the minutes
i can see the sunrise, in your eyes again
and i miss your soft hands, ..running down my face
like the warm breeze.., in a sommer's day_____
in a sommer's day_____

been searching for u girl, ..in some stranger's face
that i didn't know for real____
that i didn't know for real____

oh_____, searching for a long time, and i can't push it away
the innocence of a child's smile, ..reminds me of u and makes me smile as well
And i do remember so well, ..the time when you've been __right here in my arms

You know me well.., as i do know you
I think of you.., as you think of me

Em Csus G Bm7, Am7 D -
Csus Bm7 (4x) ...Am ____

and i guess i miss u.. - have u ever said my love..
it would be possible? - has it ever been so true?
and i guess i miss u.. - have u ever said my love..
it would be possible? - has it ever been so true?

Wuthering Heights
Original by
Kate Bush

Cover by Kris Shred.

Hope you all like it, it was a lot of work (audio- and video editing)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wuthering Heights (Kate   more...Bush)

Out on the wiley, windy moors we'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy: Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me, When I needed to possess you? I hated you, I loved you, too.

Bad dreams in the night - You told me I was going to lose the fight,
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering - Wuthering Heights..

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold - let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold - let me in-a-your window.

Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely, on the other side from you.
I pine a lot. I find the lot - falls through without you.
I'm coming back, love, - Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream, my only master.

Too long I roamed in the night - I'm coming back to his side, to put it right.
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering - Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold - let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold - let me in-a-your window.

Ooh! Let me have it, let me grab your soul away,
Ooh! Let me have it, let me grab your soul away - You know it's me - Cathy!

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold - let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold - let me in-a-your window.
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold - let me in-a-your window
