2 New Recordings

[sp4585]

Haven't posted anything here in a long time... but I've been dabbling with some stuff and I've got a few recordings to share.

1. Chicago is an original recorded a few months ago
2. Mad World is a cover of a Tears for Fears song that Gary Jules and Michael Andrews did an adaptation for Donny Darko - my version is more akin to the latter.

Steve Pierce - Alternative / Acoustic / Indie Artist

On either one bash whatever you'd like to.

On Mad World, I didn't look for an acoustic tab or anything, I just kind of adapted the piano parts and strings to 2 acoustic guitar parts based off of the version I mentioned above. So feel free to bash the adaptation/interpretation there too.

*Edit: I looked back and it looks like I did post Chicago before - so comment on that if you like but it's not "new".*

*Edit: Here's the mp3 uploaded to this forum*

its not really bashing or even talking about your mix.

but you should hear the cover Evergreen Terrace did of mad world. Its neat.

I liked the guitar panning and vocal harmonies on Chicago, but I was waiting for drums to kick in. Even if they were some subtle ones, or some percussion in the background. I think it would sound a little more full if it had em. But then again I am a drummer, so I think every song needs em.

Hah! I saw them for the first time over the summer... they didn't play Mad World though. Funny thing is, I was 1) planning on doing a more metalcore cover of Mad World down the road... strike that one off. And 2) I don't have drums... but I do have drums to that song - just not recorded, and the kick in like half way through kind of like you said. Good call man. Thanks for checking out my tunes!
