"To Love Somebody" LITLR

Never really gave this tune a second thought until I heard a Buddy Miller version on YouTube and was completely captivated. I'm not sure how the band took it when I brought in a Bee Gees song, but it looks like it's in the rotation.

Need to get in the brain of the drums and tweak as I'm constantly battling cymbal verses drum levels. It has led to some major band squabbles. I think we could probably squabble about the sharpness of a pencil at times, though.

Live in the living room with Lurker on vocals and EWC on second guitar.

It's great to hear you guys doing something unexpected. I think it throws in a real curveball, which is cool. Very nicely done by all with a big up to the vocals... cool!

I must admit I would have never thought of doing this song in my rockin' giggin' days because it seems more fitted to a lounge venue. But I have to say the way you guys are doing it changes my whole perspective on it, for the better! You have done an excellent rockin' cover and it's LITLR to boot. Great vocals and everything else works as well!

Disclosure, this is coming from a guitar player and singer: On the cymbals Blooby, I think they are just right but then again I used to have many heated discussions with our drummer about cymbal levels when mixing, lol. My philosophy on recording and mixing cymbals, which comes from many years of standing on a crowded stage next to a cymbal in my right ear, is if you can hear them in the mix then it's good and never mic the cymbals. Let the other mics pick pick them up or tell the drummer to hit them softer...which never works.

Great job all around!
