Hey guys,

I have decided to dedicate a section of the site to fans' covers of John's songs. So, please PM me or email me at iva@invisible-movement.net if you have covered any of John's songs and you think it's good enough to be showcased.

If you don't have a way of sending a file through email, check http://www.mediafire.com , http://www.rapidshare.com or http://www.megaupload.com

Looking forward to hearing what you have to offer.

The files are showcased on this page:
http://www.invisible.../readers-covers

He gave me some of them already...but he hasn't been here in a while, I hope he's not angry.

[funkymonk]

oh yeah, and Iva, there's no link to the covers section on the fanstuff page.

[Iva]

So, THAT is why they had so little downloads?

I'm sorry, seems I'm an idiot. I shall fix it tonight!

[orangesquirrel]

my soundclick page has two covers
under the bridge and wet sand
hope you like em

[funkymonk]

wow... i really love the wet sand... i love the part where you and the other person start singing at the same time... it sounds really well together. the melodies were great

The other person is Aaron, he sing the 3rd !
It's good but I think that you sing sparingly !

[fruisgod]

really good job with wet sand. for me though it suffers with the lack of drums. especially at the outro. a bigger sound is needed. maybe would be a good idea to download a drum programme if u cant get a real drummer to play for you, just an idea though? but well done

[Jurjen]

You really did a great job, but to my opinion, you converted it to an accoustic song, which is great, actually.
How did you get the effects in the solo? I looooove the effects, especially the way they are at the start

[fruisgod]

i was bored today so tried to record a version of johns song representing. its from the album to record only water for 10 days. its my first attempt at covering a john song so be gentle. and before anyone says it... yes i know i cant sing very well i used a trick dave grohl once said ... its to record and layer two voices, makes u sound better apparently. i still think i sound pretty dodgy but would love to know what u guys think....

heres the link

[Jurjen]

WOW!!!!:|

Those two layers of vocals really sound brilliant!

And I love the way you stuff in the small extra effects.
Your singing is great, keep on covering! (I might actually dare to take the step once myself :$ )

[Surrogate_Helical]

Here is my recent version of The Wil To Death, although I have a crap microphone

Plus yousendit is not working for me so its on megaupload for now

[funkymonk]

I guess while people are in a uploading mood, here's my recent version of So Would've I. I tried the best I could to get the delay effect John uses

Kane, what do i use to play cpr files? :S

[Surrogate_Helical]

Oh dear I wish I could help you..i'm no good at things like this Sorry Jay. Maybe you could ask Maz or Iva about it because I can imagine that they would have more knowledge of that sort of thing than me ..

[funkymonk]

well what program do you use to play your song? is it in cubase?

[Jurjen]

Yeah, it is Cubase

[funkymonk]

would you be able to save it as .wav or .mp3 and reupload it, Kane?

[orangesquirrel]

umm, Jay?
is there a link in ur post to ur song, or am i just missing something?

thanks for the comments everybody
im hoping to get some bass on it, and get my friend to write a drum line, and fruity loop it up, cause we can't record his drums, cause we're poor

and fruisgod (sorry, dont know ur name), ur cover of representing is good
the double vocals works well, my drummer whos not an awesome singer does it and it makes his sound good
i don't like doing it myself though, cause it trips me out too much hearing my own voice like that for some reason, and i sing too improvisational, and tend to lose myself
