songs i'd cover

...just like the thing on facebook, only the bloggy youtube version.

songs i'd cover if i had/was in a band:

Lilac Wine:
i like nina simones version best, but no video: listen to it on dizzler.
jeff buckleys version:


Blue Moon:
the mavericks:

billie holiday:

...but no one does it quite the same way i sing it, lol.... i change part of the lyrics to say, 'you heard me sayin' a prayer for, just one thing i could live for... then suddenly there appeared before me, the only One my heart could ever hold, i heard Somebody whisper, please adore Me, and when i looked the moon had turned to gold...'

Colorful, by the Verve Pipe:


Cry (if you want to):
holly cole:

... i think she gets a little too 'happy' for the song, in this performance, tho!!! lol

Don't give up:
i first heard this song on the 'streams in the desert' cd (christian), can't find a youtube version of it, so here's the original by peter gabriel and kate bush...


more to come, i think! :D
