I must become lion-hearted

Have almost finished compiling my master list of the Coffeehouse Covers :) !! This has been several years in the making. They're pretty much all arranged now, and though some of them are harder than others for me to pull off live, the next step is messing around with Ableton mixing.



I've been the most excited about the recent addition: FloMachine's "Rabbit Heart", which is a spectacular song how she has it, and which rendered down into a very haunting little thing for solo piano and voice. (This would be my third Flo cover, and I'm not exactly sure if I'll cut any -- the others being "Cosmic Love" and "Drumming Song".) I kind of found myself on my own in terms of how to sing the chorus; when it's just you and a piano, it doesn't really make sense to do it how she does it. So I ended up sort of writing a new melody for the chorus, to fit the existing chord progression. I was almost wondering if I just want to put it to an original song entirely. For now, it's going to hide out in Coffeehouse "Rabbit Heart". And then we'll see what happens.

Thanks and love always to Miss Florence "and the Machine" Welch, 25, of Camberwell, England. (Excited to listen harder to her new stuff by the way...) Follow this link to her beautiful video for "Rabbit Heart": Florence and the Machine "Rabbit Heart" (2009)
