Piazza, New York Catcher
I've become extremely fascinated by cover versions and the uniqueness of voices. One of my favourite songs from the movie Juno ("Piazza, New York Catcher" by Belle and Sebastian) has been covered by several people on YouTube, and listening to people's different singing is strangly intriguing. Therefore I decided to record my own cover version of the song. Mind you, it is not me playing the guitar. I'm just completely drowning out the original cover version I found on YouTube, so that the voice you hear is 100 % mine but the guitar is 100 % somebody else's. I have been told that my voice has always been quite deep - both when talking and singing. Sometimes I've wished it to be more delicate and femine, as I think it is slightly too rumbling for this type of song. It should be sung delicatly like in the original version. But hey, we all have to do things our way rather than copying others, and the whole point of cover versions is to present people with a different way of hearing a song. So here it goes.
MY VERSION
HER VERSION
This version is great - she has such a beautiful sweet and delicate voice. This is how I personally think the song should sound like.
Well, this was fun everyone. Must definitely repeat this, despite people caring or not.

Wow, I love your singing! You're really good at it. Belle and Sebastian is lovely and Juno is adorable.
Thank you!!!:D That's really fun to hear!
I looooved Juno! (And the soundtrack too!) Saw it for the first time just last weeek, and that's how I got to know of Belle & Sebastian. Gonna browse for their CD before work tomorrow I figured!
My tips are 'If You're Feeling Sinister' (one of my all-time favourite albums) and 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress'! But anything by B&S is amazing, really. Have loved them dearly ever since Lane Kim in Gilmore Girls went frantic about getting their latest album.
Thanks, I shall look out for them!:D Bought "The BBC Sessions" yesterday as it was the only album by B&B in the store. But I'm liking it ^^
