 | | 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 Added: Oct 31, 07 Views: 180 Category: Music |
|  | "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,

|  |  | "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

|  | "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

Hope it translates into an acoustic number okay!

|  | "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

|  |  | "Run" by Collective Soul 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

|  | "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

|  |  | "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 Coming in fast over me less Added: Apr 24, 07 Views: 3,651 Category: Music |
|  | "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's 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 Added: Apr 5, 07 Views: 3,746 Category: Music |
|  |  | "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 Added: Mar 21, 07 Views: 342 Category: Music |
