Not sure how well it translates to just an acoustic version, but damn it I can't play the piano very well. =P Oh, and that's my phone that goes off about more...3/4 into the movie - thanks, Kelly! less Tags: xylopolist clocks coldplay cover acoustic rock sing song Category: Music Views: 4,195 Comments: 58 Added: Jan 23, 07 By: xylopolist  | |  |  | | quotSparksquot by Coldplay 03:28Cover of the song "Sparks" by Coldplay. All instruments, vocals performed by David Biggs. I've got some more Radiohead, Collective Soul, Oasis, and Tonic covers in the works- but I wanted to finish more...this song first, one that I often play at Open Mics, etc.
This song is not being played exactly the way that Coldplay performs it.. I didn't have a capo on hand, so I just played it without.
For anyone that reads these descriptions, please let me know if you think the guitar tone sounds better or worse than in the "Cast No Shadow" cover.. This time I just mic'd the guitar, and usually I record it straight into the computer. I'd appreciate the input, thanks!
Lyrics:
Did I drive you away? I know what you’ll say, You say, “Oh, sing one we know,” But I promise you this, I’ll always look out for you, That’s what I’ll do.
I say “oh,” I say “oh.”
My heart is yours, It’s you that I hold on to, That’s what I do, And I know I was wrong, But I won’t let you down,
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will…)
I say “oh,” I cry “oh.”
Yeah I saw sparks, Yeah I saw sparks,

Had to change the feel of the song a lot, since it's really only made up of keyboards/bass and vocals. Hopefully it turned more...out ok.
If you get a chance to go see Muse in concert, jump on it - they throw one heck of a live show.
Lyrics:
There's a part of me you'll never know The only thing I'll never show
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly Hopelessly I'll give you everything But I won't give you up I won't let you down And I won't leave you falling If the moment ever comes
It's plain to see it's trying to speak Cherished dreams forever asleep Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly Hopelessly I'll give you everything But I won't give you up I won't let you down And I won't leave you falling If the moment ever comes

Yeah I'm a sap, so shoot me. =D Lyrics: Hey there Delilah What's it like in New York City? I'm a thousand miles away But girl tonight you more...look so pretty Yes you do Time Square can't shine as bright as you I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely Give this song another listen Close your eyes Listen to my voice it's my disguise I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me What you do to me
Hey there Delilah I know times are getting hard But just believe me girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would My word is good
Hey there Delilah I've got so much left to say If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far But they've got planes and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way Our friends would all make fun of us and we'll just laugh along because we know That none of them have felt this way Delilah I can promise you That by the time we get through The world will never ever be the same And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah You be good and don't you miss me Two more years and you'll be done with school And I'll be making history like I do You know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there Delilah here's to you This ones for you

What a timeless piece of music this is - I've heard hundreds of covers of the song but people seem to try a little too hard when they're playing more...it..
Here's my version.
Lyrics:
Now that i've lost everything to you You say you wanna start something new And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin' Baby, i'm grievin' But if you wanna leave, take good care Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world It's hard to get by just upon a smile Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world I'll always remember you like a child, girl
You know i've seen a lot of what the world can do And it's breakin' my heart in two Because i never wanna see you a sad, girl Don't be a bad girl But if you wanna leave, take good care Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Chorus
Baby, i love you But if you wanna leave, take good care Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

This song was written about 6 years ago so please don't take the lyrics and mood of the song as more...an indication of how I'm feeling at the moment. =D
Lyrics:
i know the fire in your heart, is dead i hear the words within my ears, my fears and you replace me as i am, a friend i knew that we would never be so real again
so tell me i don't understand and tend the fire with your hand and there is nothing i can do just please come back to me won't you
some kind of sunlight in your eyes, surprise and i feel the shortness of my breath, depressed a tired picture fades from view, it's you i'm lost inside myself again the end

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy. Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop. You'd kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop. You broke another mirror; you're turning into something you are not.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk. All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out They're the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
It's the best thing that you've ever had, the best thing that you've ever, ever had. It's the best thing that you've ever had; the best thing you've had has gone away.

I was a little off with the high notes in the beginning, keep watching though I promise it gets better. =P lyrics: Her green plastic watering more...can For her fake chinese rubber plant In fake plastic earth. That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plants Just to get rid of itself. And it wears her out, it wears her out It wears her out, it wears her out.
She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns. He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins. And it wears him out, it wears him out It wears him out, it wears him out.
She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love. But I cant help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run And it wears me out, it wears me out It wears me out, it wears me out.

Thom Yorke says the song is about sex in the morning, the best time to have it. I agree with him, but don't see what exactly that has to do with more...the song. =D But hey, the guy's a little crazy.
lyrics:
I get home from work and youre still standing in your dressing gown, Well what am I to do? I know all the things around your head and what they do to you. What are we coming to? What are we gonna do?
Blame it on the black star, Blame in on the falling sky, Blame in on the satellite, that beams me home.
The trouble words of a troubled mind, I try to understand what is eating you. I try to stay awake, but its 58 hours since that I last slept with you. What are we coming to? I just dont know anymore
Blame it on the black star, Blame in on the falling sky, Blame in on the satellite, that beams me home.
I get on the train and I just stand about now that I dont think of you. I keep falling over, I keep passing out, when I see a face like you. What am I coming to? Im gonna melt down.
Blame it on the black star, Blame in on the falling sky, Blame in on the satellite, that beams me home. less Tags: xylopolist black star radiohead cover acoustic guitar rock sing song Category: Music Views: 400 Comments: 9 Added: Feb 9, 07 By: xylopolist  | |  |  | | quotImaginequot by John Lennon 03:47Cover of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. All guitars played by Bastiaan77 (youtube.com/Bastiaan77). All vocals performed by Xylopolist. A rather unique arrangement of this song by Bastiaan77 more...made me inquire to see if he would like to do a collaboration. After getting the OK, I laid out the vocal tracks and created this video. I think it turned out great, and look forward to more collaborations with Bastiaan and others.
Lyrics:
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one less Tags: xylopolist bastiaan77 david dave biggs john lennon imagine cover acoustic guitar rock sing song music Category: Music Views: 240 Comments: 10 Added: Oct 31, 07 By: xylopolist  | |  |  | | quotCast No Shadowquot by Oasis 04:53All instruments and vocals are performed by David Biggs. Cover of the song "Cast No Shadow" by Oasis. One of my favorite bands out there.. Sure they're pretty arrogant (Liam and Noel) but they're more...also some of the best songwriters in the business.
I just got a new microphone for my birthday from my girlfriend Erin, so I'd like to dedicate this song to her. This is the first time I've ever added backup vocals to my own, played electric guitar with the acoustic, and recorded the music with my computer instead of the camcorder.
Sorry I didn't include video of the backing vocals and/or electric guitar but there were just too many takes!
Lyrics:
Heres a thought for every man who tries to understand What is in his hands (whats in his hands) He walks along the open road of love and life To find it if he can (to find it if he can)
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say As he faced the sun he cast no shadow (haaaaaaaa-ah)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (priiiii-hide) [-- 3 times As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
