"Lovesong" Hook covers The Cure

[Hook]

Just making a reason to play the YDD-60 drumkit. This is a clear example of the need to use a metronome, I hate metronomes but you can definitely hear that the drums are following. I had 3 different tracks to choose from & this was the most laid back. The crash cymbal sound really bugs me but I just haven't had time to really compare all the sounds yet & customize my own kit. The bass line also really was a challenge, I wanted that recognizable line in the verses but it's a bit fast, I did the bass track this afternoon in Nissan Sentra Studios,
 in fact everything but the drums were recorded in the car.
1 uke vocal (stereo)
1 drums (stereo)
1 rythm uke
1 mandolin (lead line)
1 uke (lead line)
1 bass

Wow - I'm glad I get first dibs on commenting on this one Bro. This is drop-dead BRILLIANT.
Whats the phrase .... fwswabp - or something like that. What a vocal on this - perfect for your range, and so expressively sung - you nailed it. I'd say one of your best vocal performances imo.

This is defiantly one of your best recordings.
How the hell do you come up with something so cool in your car.
Guys sitting in their fancy wooden cladded sound proofed high tech recording cribs don't come up with this stuff.
Your a natural and I always love your voice.
It's just that hook vibe,brilliant.

Hello all.
I'm new here. Just bought my BR-80 and joined the community here.
Very nice Cure cover. Different than usual cure stuff, but very nice version of the song.
I'm The Cure fan and will upload some of their song here soon.
