| | Friday, January 26, 2007 at 8:10 PM | | Glad to get such a warm reception here at LiveVideo - I have a Youtube account as well under the same name, but I have noticed right away that the community here seems to be a bit more active in some respects. By the way, I have a MySpace page right here. | |
| Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 10:08 AM | | Hi there.. I've been playing guitar/singing for quite a while now and thought it would be a good idea to share some of my favorite music with everybody here.. While I do have quite a few original songs as well, I'm pretty hesitant to post things online that are not copyrighted.. if anyone has input on this, please send me a message - I have no clue about the rules surrounding music/lyrics and how to go about protecting them. If anyone has a request, send it my way! I'll be sure to try and fulfill more...it if at all possible.
Cheers,
Dave. less | |

| |  | "Imagine" by John Lennon
03:47
Cover of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon.
All guitars played by Bastiaan77 (youtube.com/Bastiaan77).
All vocals performed by Xylopolist.
A rather more...unique arrangement of this song by Bastiaan77 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

|  | "Sparks" by Coldplay
03:28
Cover of the song "Sparks" by Coldplay.
All instruments, vocals performed by David Biggs.
I've got some more Radiohead, Collective Soul, Oasis, more...and Tonic covers in the works- but I wanted to finish 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,
La, la, la, la, oh…
La, la, la, la, oh…
La, la, la, la, oh… less

| |  | "Cast No Shadow" by Oasis
04:53
All 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 more...pretty arrogant (Liam and Noel) but they're 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
(haaaaaaaa-ah)
(haaaaaaaa-ah)
(haaaaaaaa-ah)
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 (but only 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) [-- 4 times
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow (haaaaaaa-ah) [-- 2 times
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow less

|  | "Don't look back in anger" by Oasis
04:12
Cover of the song "Don't look back in anger" by Oasis. Brings me back to junior high.. I think that makes me old. =P
Lyrics:
Slip inside the eye of more...your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd once never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away
So I'll start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away
So I'll start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
At least not today

Cover of the song "Man on the Moon" by REM. I just got finished watching the movie based on Andy Kaufman's life by the same name.. Great movie, great more...song..
Hope it translates into an acoustic number okay!
Lyrics:
Mott the Hoople and the Game of Life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Andy Kaufman in the wrestling match. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Monopoly, twenty one, checkers, and chess. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's play Twister, let's play Risk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
See you in heaven if you make the list. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey Andy, did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey baby, are we losing touch?
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool
Moses went walking with the staff of wood. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Newton got beaned by the apple good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey Andy, did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey baby, are you having fun?
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool
Here's a little agit for the never-believer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a little ghost for the offering. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a truck stop instead of Saint Peter's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Andy Kaufman's gone wrestling (wrestling bears). Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey Andy, did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey baby, are we losing touch?
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool

|  | "Endlessly" by Muse
03:23
Cover of the song "Endlessly" by Muse off of their album Absolution. Had to change the feel of the song a lot, since it's really only made up of keyboards/bass more...and vocals. Hopefully it turned 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
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
But the moment never comes less

03:17
cover of the song "Run" by Collective Soul. Most people probably know this song from the Varsity Blues soundtrack - I was pleasantly surprised to hear more...it in the movie but I'm familiar with it from one of my favorite Collective Soul albums, Dosage. Hope ya like it.
Lyrics:
Are these times contagious
I've never been this bored before
Is this the prize I've waited for
Now as the hours passing
There's nothing left here to mature
I long to find a messenger
Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Yeah, I run [x2]
Is there a cure among us
From this processed sanity
I weaken with each voice that sings
In this world of purchase
I'm going to buy back memories
To awaken some old qualities
Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Have I got a long way to run [x2]
Yeah, I run [x2] less

|  | "Best I Ever Had" by Vertical Horizon
04:60
Cover of the song "Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)" by Vertical Horizon. An interesting band that changed drastically since they started with some more...memorable radio hits such as "Everything You Want" and "You're A God".
Lyrics:
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now
[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had
And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted
[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had less

| |  | "Orange Crush" by R.E.M.
04:19
Cover of the song "Orange Crush" by R.E.M. Since this is a song only usually done by a full band I decided to change up the guitar parts a bit and add more...another lead track to fill up the sound. Also experimenting a bit with some new video editing software. Hope you guys like it. =D
Lyrics:
Follow me don't follow me
I've got my spine I've got my orange crush
Collar me don't collar me
I've got my spine I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Spread your conscience overseas

03:26
Cover of the song "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's. Yeah I'm a sap, so shoot me. =D
Lyrics:
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York more...City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you 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
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. less

| |  | "Wild World" by Cat Stevens
03:10
Cover of the song "Wild World" by Cat Stevens. What a timeless piece of music this is - I've heard hundreds of covers of the song but people seem to try more...a little too hard when they're playing 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

|  | "Lost Without a Sound" by Dave Biggs (original)
03:59
Another song from many years ago, rearranged a bit from when it was originally recorded.
Lyrics:
Wake up.. in silence,
Your voice.. is all you more...are.
Breathe in.. don't swallow
Inside you're one of us
But outside,
The sun beats down
Without you,
I'm lost without a sound
These words untouched,
Though time moves on
Protected by our love,
for this our silent song less
