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!"

 

From my point of view no one can sing this song better than Bruno Mars

but I tried to find out an unknown version 

and this one the best that I searched for.

"Stop

Wait a minute

Fill my cup put some liquor in it"

I was searching for a song to share on the blog on Youtube.

I found Let Me Down Easy and it is kind of a stranger song to me.

I accept and appreciate changes easily.

"We are broken by others
But we mend ourselves
We take comfort in strangers
But I don't think it helps
If every fool wore a crown
I would be a king and not a clown"

I was just spending my time by surfing on the internet 

and Spotify was supporting me with the "Afternoon Acoustic" list.

Then I heard You and Me cover of Boyce Avenue.
I always think that originals are better 

as sometimes this idea becomes a failure but I still insist on.

"What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you "

There's nothing to write so much thing about Pink. Briefly, I admire her.

After I listened Ina Müller's voice for this song, I tried to find out the original version

and when I saw Pink's version, I directly made a decision to share the original one.

"Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly."

I like listening to Jessie J's songs so much and
Nobody's Perfect is the first song that I listened from her.

Cristian Cabrerizo better known as Cris Cab (born January 21, 1993) is an American singer-songwriter who has become well known with his international hit "Liar Liar".
His songs are a fusion of pop, reggae, and soul.
I like especially reggae songs so much, therefore today's song is coming from Cris Cab.
Have a funny Sunday!

"Liar, liar,
She's on fire
She's waiting there, around the corner
Just a little aid, and she'll jump on ya'"

MAGIC! is a Canadian reggae fusion band.

In 2013, they released their debut single, "Rude", from their debut album Don't Kill the Magic.

This was one of the songs that we listened during our vacation this summer.

"Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'"

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"

Lights Bokan (born Valerie Anne Poxleitner on April 11, 1987)
is a Canadian electropop musician, singer, and songwriter.
And now she goes acoustic for her song "River".

"Take me river, carry me far
Lead me river, like a mother
Take me over to some other unknown
Put me in the undertow"

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"

David Jon Gilmour, (born 6 March 1946), is an English
musician, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
He is best known for his work as the guitarist and
co-lead vocalist of the progressive rock band Pink Floyd.

 When I hear this song I remember the summer of 2003.
I was working in a hotel and the guitarist in the restaurant
was playing this song every evening.

"Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

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"

I heard this song in the car while we were going to the most famous mall in Bursa.

As the name of the song was written on the radio, I tagged again not to forget it.

The song was also known by my husband.

Kings of Convenience is an indie folk-pop duo from Norway.

They're singing like it's a lullaby
As the original video is denied in our country, I must share this one!

"Okay I get it, okay I see
You were fronting because you knew 

you'd find yourself vulnerable around me
Okay I get it, okay I see
I step too close to your boundaries"

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"

This song is the soundtrack of the movie, The Counselor which we watched yesterday.

It wasn't very clear to hear the lyrics during the flow of the movie,

but Shazam is my hero for such kind of issues.

With a few lyrics, it's able to find the song that you want to tag, so I like it!

Josh T. Pearson is a musician from Texas.

"Woman when I've raised hell, you of all people are gonna know it
There'll be nothin' not nailed down left unturned in this home
Then your old friend silence will creep back into this pettiest of all places
He'll ask you again, "Which is better or for worse, livin' with me or livin' with all my ghosts?"

Although she is 25 years old she has already won 7 Grammy awards.

Taylor was very pretty and cute in the 56th Grammy awards, 

and she attracted the attention on herself with her shining dress also.

Thus, today's guest on my blog is the American singer-songwriter Taylor Alison Swift.

One additional note about her: Forbes estimates that she is worth over $220 million. 

"You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like ever..."

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"
