acoustic sessions

Last night while I was searching for something new, I met with some "mashup" songs.

Then I wrote "acoustic mashup cover" in Youtube's search bar

and I listened Megan Davies's lots of mashup covers.

That was the first time that I listened a live mashup.

We Can't Stop and Price Tag are the two songs that I like so much.

That's the perfect match I think.

"price tag can't stop!"

 

"Yeah, I'll let you set the pace

Cause I'm not thinking straight

My head spinning around I can't see clear no more

What are you waiting for?"

Clean Bandit is a British electronic group founded in Cambridge, England in 2009.
In January 2014, they scored their first UK Singles Chart-topping single with "Rather Be",
featuring elements of classical music along with a dance music beat.

Alexa Goddard (born 21 December 1988) is an English pop and R&B singer.
I think that her acoustic cover is the best version of this song. 

"If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be"

Chandelier is the new song of Sia that we listened this weekend and 

I found Marie Martins's acoustic cover 

while I was searching for some other (easier) vocal sounds.

I think this is one of the best cover of this song.

"I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier"

Baby Blue is an English rapper and singer.

She is getting known by her new song Bump nowadays.

Hope Murphy, Britain's Got Talent 2012 singer, made a nice piano cover of this song.

"And I can never understand why you ask me
My heart is dying in your hands but my heart beats
It goes bump bump bump bump, bump bump bump
It goes bump bump bump bump, bump bump bump

And I can never understand why you told lies
I wanna move on but I can't for my heart cries
It goes bump bump bump bump, bump bump bump
It goes bump bump bump bump, bump bump bump"

So tell everyone that we're back on our broadcast. 

Youtube is finally available in Turkey (w/o VPN and Hotspotshield) and 

I'm continuing to share acoustic records that I like.

Deriving the name from the idea of “the music taking control”,

ortoPilot is the musical brain child of Manchester based, multi-instrumentalist Matt Hutchison. 

Taking much inspiration from his musical hero John Mayer, his spectacular musicianship 

takes the saturated singer/songwriter genre to a whole new level.

"Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast"

Today's session is coming from Pharrell Williams.

I couldn't believe my eyes when see in my screen that he was born in 1973.

He seems so young.

"Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do"

I was bored from Blogger, thus I was out for a while, but now I'm back.

And I found a new hero who is making acoustic covers.

I listened Dark Horse from Katy Perry in the 56th Grammy awards for the first time.

Tyler Ward realized a similar performance with the acoustic guitar, which I liked so much!

I should search more for acoustic songs.

Maybe you can propose some?

"Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don’t make me your enemy"

Two days ago I turned back to real life -to a hard working area-,
thus I couldn't share anything for you to listen and relax, now I'm back in Blogger.
This song is the soundtrack of Bridget Jones's Diary (2011)
and Lady Antebellum was performing this song in the movie.
Acoustic version is covered by Boyce Avenue and Savannah Outen.

"It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now"

This time Miley Cyrus is not stripping.

She has clothes on her and she is singing a Lana Del Rey song,
Summertime Sadness for BBC Radio 1.

Her name was Destiny Hope Cyrus before she changed her named to Miley Ray Cyrus.
She is now 22 years old and famous with her crazy actions.
This cover is watched by more than 10 million people, that's why today you're receiving it.

"Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best"

After Pink's performance @ 56th Grammy awards, I wanted to share this song.

But this time, the singer is not Pink, it is a young lady, Nicole Cross.

There's not enough information about this girl on Google,

but we'll hear more in the future.

"Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try"

Below file doesn't consist a video, it's just a nice song!

Nowadays, we're trying to play this song in our band like Within Temptation did,

but I found this cover, while I was making a search on Deezer,

 which is a little bit different from the others.

"You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium"

I found this song during my search on Deezer from "Acoustic Dance Sessions" list.

In my opinion acoustic cover of Wonderful Days is better than the original version of this song.

I guess I'll find more from Deezer and Spotify.

Roos-Anne (Sanne) Hans better known by her stage name Miss Montreal

was born in 1984 and she is a Dutch singer-songwriter and guitar player.

"I prayed on my knees to heaven above
Send me somebody please someone to love"

When I heard this voice I thought that I am listening Beirut.

And also a little information about the name of the song is as follows:

 

"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."

"Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin"

Coldplay paid tribute to Michael Jackson with a cover of the legend's smash hit Billie Jean.

This is the song from Jackson's sixth solo album, Thriller.

The song was mixed 91 times by audio engineer Bruce Swedien before it was finalized.

"People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth"

The Dolly Rockers was an English girl band (Lucie Kay, Sophie King and Daniele Owen).
They first became known when they competed in the 3rd series of The X Factor (2006).
The Dolly Rockers re-auditioned for The X Factor in 2013, but failed.
On 10 October 2013, they had decided to go their separate ways after seven years together.

"Feel the warmth, we’ll never die
We’re like diamonds in the sky"
