Covers of:
Last Train Home by Ryan Star
Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler (from The Wedding Singer)
Around the World by Nat King Cole
I came across the first song by accident. Several years ago I had this wonderful musical conversation with someone, and he and I shared some of our favourite and most impactful music. The song Last Train Home came up, though I had forgotten then artist. Having heard Ryan Star before (specifically his song Breathe), when his name came up in the title search, I automatically downloaded it. It turned out that the song this person meant was an entirely different song, one sung by Lostprophets. He also mentioned the song Body in a Box by City and Colour which remains a low-key favourite of mine, though I have not covered it (and may never do so).
The song from The Wedding Singer was just a lovely little diddy from a classic film from growing up. Add in the fact that I DO sing for weddings (and funerals) and was often connected with the movie, this was a perfect cover for me to do.
Around the World is one of those easy-listening golden oldies that seems to put a smile on everyone's face. It is a staple choice when performing in retirement communities, as well as when performing background music for dinners and fundraisers.
As always, I am still working on more covers, while also providing live-streaming concerts, and working with my recording software.
I love My Musical Life!!
