Collide
So with a new set of strings comes a test to see how they sound! Welcome to another edition of Cover A Day! Today, we're all the way back to the year 2004 for this rock infused pop song. Howie Day was a relatively unknown artist having done a college and released only a demo entitled "Australia" at this point. Of course that would all change with the release of his first big hit "Collide" off of his debut full-length album Stop All The World Now. This song is definitely a great one and I would not have actually recorded had it not been for a mentioning of the song and myself dabbling in the key so to that person I dedicate this week's song to you, hope it brings a smile to your face as it has mine. The Link is course the song title below so please click it and give it a listen!

Iris
Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of Cover A Day. Now I think everyone and there mom has not only heard of 90's smash hit band the "Goo Goo Dolls" but they also have their favorite song from the band that they can play till their ears bleed and still be happy. Originally released in 1998, back when movie companies paid a lot of money for a smash hit song to go with their movie, the band was approached to write a song for the movie City Of Angels. In all it was a decent movie but the song they wrote entitled "Iris" was the real gem of that undertaking. It was a number one hit and spent 18 weeks at number one which is a phenomenal accomplishment for any band.
Now a quick side note, I originally started this project as a way to help myself keep together with music and as a tool for happiness so with that being said this week's song is dedicating to someone I know is going through a rough time and this is one of her all-time favorite songs. I hope that I did it justice for you and for anyone feeling a little down send me a song request, it'll be completely anonymous and I will have as quick of a turn around as possible, because doing this brings me joy and any chance to share that I will take.

Jamie All Over
Hey everybody! This week I'm pulling out another cover from my sessions with the very talented Joe Dean. Part 1 was of course Forever My Father viewable here, but this week we're gonna take you back a few years to 2008 when new up and coming band Mayday Parade launched on the scene with their debut album A Lesson in Romantics. I had a hell of time recording this with Joe as we belted our hearts out to this amazing tune. If you have not heard the original, or the album for that matter, check it out after clicking on our cover below.

No One's Gonna Love You
Released as a single in 2008 I originally heard not only this song but the original band "Band of Horses" on the television show Chuck and while his vocals were definitely different than what I was used to at the time, I found their sound scape to be awe inspiring. If you have not heard this band seriously go pick up their debut Everything All The Time or Cease To Begin which are both spectacular albums. Enjoy my rendition at the link below everyone and have a wonderful week till we meet again!
