covers (2018-2026)
these are some covers recorded on my phone between 2018 and 2026. i'm deciding not to get too in my head about including them here. after spending a long time getting on my own case over mistakes made in covers, i now try to practice posting ones that are incomplete or imperfect, that i do just while messing around or practicing, where i forget lyrics or stop partway through to scroll down or mess up mid-line or fumble while strumming. this is especially important to me now given that my ability to sing has been impacted for a while by a stress-related illness i got in early 2020. there are multiple versions of some songs where i couldn't decide which i liked better or where for some other reason i just wanted multiple versions to be present. a number of the songs also cut off or skip lines, often because i forgot a particular line or it wasn't visible on my screen and i didn't think to pause to scroll down (as is the case for both versions of "survival") - or because i cut the audio off right before i coughed etc in the recording (as is the case for "gotta have you" and "first love late spring"). i know i am not good at the guitar. i have received so many unsolicited offers for lessons by so many men. at this point i'm basically bad partly out of spite i think.
