Trouble over Tokyo

This is a Trouble over Tokyo cover. Toph Taylor is a great artist and I love his music,voice,interpretation,emotions,lyrics... Anyways I've decided to record it with Matej, since haven't done any covers besides Buckley, I wanted to choose another one that's special. And I have to say I do learn a lot through these covers I record...

But there's one person I have to thank in particular, a great musician and a teacher - Jeremy. He makes me listen to myself more, be aware of where my voice leads me... I learn how to trust my voice and how to ....just let go, be distracted :) don't give a f**k and of course work on the scales and warm up :) Anyways, the day I've recorded the TOT song, Jeremy has given me some advice and we went through the song.. recorded single parts with different approach and then listened to it. After the listening I've looked at him with a wtf face, cause I heard the difference and learned once again that: less is more. Every time I sang the song with less power,paying less attention to how I sing it and just dived into the melody of the guitar... it actually sounded so good and much fuller!!"every time you think you have to do more, try less!" a wise man said!And it's so true...

To get back on the recording process. It was interesting and far more demanding than Buckley. But after the vocal lesson I was more confident, I really tried to let go and let the song take me away. I had a great team, the producer/motivator/engineer/technician and probably a lot of other stuff I don't know how to spell - Matej and my tuner/guitarist/water-boy Pero!! Two lovely people, who never lose their sense of humor and what I'm most grateful for - their honesty and belief in me :) So after the dogs quit barking and my heart gives me the rhythm, I start to sing...
