“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” — Aretha Franklin

2009 EP

This was an early attempt to do a covers EP. It was not released and some of the files were lost for a while, until I Was able to recover them from an old CD-R.

The first song is Erasure‘s B-side from 1993, Ghost. It has always been one of my favourite tracks from them, because of it’s relative darkness, compared to the other material of theirs from the era. I tried to recreate it as best I could from their version but with more stomp.

The other is a cover of ‘Beethoven (I Love To listen To)‘, by Eurythmics, from their 1987 album Savage. I tried a few times to make my own version but this was the only one that stuck. I thought it would be an interesting idea for a male voice to be singing these lyrics, which was the main idea for doing it in the first place.

These were completed in 2009 and there is a dub version of each.
