singersongwriterfest: impossible love: orh back in his comfort zone mix

[Oldrottenhead]

earlier i did a live unplugged and bollock naked version of this song which was way out of my comfort zone.

this version is more in keeping with my usual method of doing things,  a bit at a time,  layer upon layer,  tho not many layers on this one, it is practically live, but all the parts where recorded seperately. does that make sense.
yes i have bin drinking.

anyway daniel johnston's song "impossible love" not live but still recorded in the living room.

Another cool take on it...I think you meshed a little melody from Biko on this. It's a totally different song now. This is good but the DJ vibe is gone and the Gabriel vibe has replaced it. Both versions are good, very different but I prefer the raw and naked version.

gawd i only hear biko now , peter gabriel must have ripped dj off, cos his was before pg's. i used exact chords from dj's version.

thats it exactly, yes, this is like Gabriel does DJ..........It seemed sorta familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it..............yes.  Nice joyful version...........but, if I could only have one, its the naked one for me.

Actually Jim...Impossible Love was from Rejected Unknown, 1999. So Biko predates it. But Daniel's song sounds nothing like Biko, only yours does.

i thought rejects unknown was a compilation of his older stuff

btw, Great vocal on this version.

yeah naked version is closer to the original this one i was trying to put my twist on it the usual peter gabriel wi a scottish accent lol. i was worried folk would think i was ripping off the guy from glasvegas lmfao.

Well, I didn't even know the song before you covered it twice. 

For this version, if I hadn't heard the previous, I wouldn't have known it was a Daniel Johnston song (I don't know as much of his work as I should, for shame...  ), but to me it does sound like an orh song. Great production, with your expected croon and synth work.

Your LiTLR version was different and great, but I was really struck by your guitar playing. Maybe not perfect (whose is?), but great tone and confident delivery. You should play guitar more in your songs, Jim!

i prefer this version
