Todo Los Dolores (Devendra Banhart cover) by buriednexttoyou

This is interesting:
Jumping in on the music challenge to cover a song in a language you don’t speak. I have no idea what I am saying in this song. Apologies to Devendra Banhart for the whole thing, apologies to Devendra Banhart fans for wussing out at the end and just making noise. At least it […]

Back To Being Me by quadog

Here’s a great post:
Maybe I wrote this song for Aretha Franklin. Maybe I wrote it for Candi Staton. Either way, when I sing it I feel like a large black woman.

theme from “gone” by edlundart

Jamie sent us a link to this:
A piano-based melody written for my animated short film “Gone” (hear it in context). I tried to play around with the time signature a bit in this song. I wrote it in 4/4 but then shifted some sections so that I think the end result is a song that […]

Why by tmcw

Found this:
Came up with this song yesterday, and I sort of like it. A departure. Criticism requested and welcomed! Thanks.

Couldn’t hear you say a word
Water vapor boils and freezes
Condensation fills you up
Is this all just endless dreaming?
Will we all just wake up soon
Is this all just endless thinking
Which we […]
