Seriously who wants to be friends. I think I’ve got the flu and I want a friend. Or a puppy.

Call Me Maybe- fun. (Carly Rae Jepsen cover)

You may be asking yourself “HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU PLAN ON POSTING THIS SONG IN VARIOUS COVER FORM?”… and to answer you, my friends, is as many times as I damn well please. I am obsessed and I don’t hate it one bit. Call me or something.

a minimalistic piano cover of “beth/rest” from bon iver’s self-titled (2011). click here to download.

this is the third time i’ve covered it, and will be the last. i never liked this song until i heard the version, “bon iver on world cafe” on npr. then i loved it. i based my cover more on his piano solo version than the album version.

something interesting i learned about the bon iver lp is that vernon thinks of the thing as a coherent timeline sort of piece. “perth” being like beginnings, birth and “beth/rest” being like ending, death. always in love with artists who do this. it’s incredibly inspiring that some are making terrific, standalone songs that also fit in as a bigger piece, a bigger arch in a complete album. and the album also means something. pieces of smaller pieces. then you’re combing the art, the physical artwork with the music, and the words. sounds, images, words. it’s plainly awe to me. it’s something i really want to be able to do. finding word-makers and art-makers and music-makers and big themes made of small stories, people and places. ah.

errant heat to the star
and the rain let in
the hawser rolls, the vessel’s whole and christ, it’s thin

well i’d know that you’d offer
would reveal it, though it’s soft and flat
won’t repeat it, cull and coffer’s that
for the soffit, hang this homeward
pry it open with your love
sending lost and alone standing offers

it is steep / it is stone
such recovery
from the daily press, the deepest nest, in keeper’s keep

all the news at the door
such a revelry
well, it’s hocked inside of everything you said to me

it was found what we orphaned
didn’t mention it would serve us picked
said your love is known
i’m standing up on it

aren’t we married?!
i ain’t living in the dark no more
it’s not a promise, i’m just gonna call it

heavy mitted love

our love is a star
sure some hazardry
for the light before and after most indefinitely

danger has been stole away

this is axiom

Somebody That I Used To Know- fun. Featuring Hayley Williams

I know this song is probably getting on a lot of people’s nerves courtesy of the mass radio play, but I am most certainly not one of those people. I honestly believe I could listen to it over and over again— and that very well may be because of all of the different covers that have popped up since it’s radio debut. It’s the same lyrics and all that jazz, but the various renditions of this track always keep me coming back for more. This is my recent favorite. Nate Ruess and Hayley Williams doing it up on BBC Radio.
