last night I dreamt that somebody loved me | the smiths
haven’t posted a cover in ages. recorded this today because I was crazy bored - couldn’t be arsed to set up my sm57 mic and compressor, so this just demonstrates how crappy my laptop mic is and how much I need a better soundcard. HOWEVUH I had a lot of fun recording it on kristal and adding ridiculous amounts of reverb to soften the hiss and also because making it sound like I’m singing in a cathedral gives me an ego boost or something. so basically a) I know it sounds shit and b) I don’t care

SO THIS IS GREAT: tom remixed one of my crappy little recordings/the last song I wrote and posted on here, and I told him to butcher it but he actually made it sound really nice in a totally melodramatic way with lots of swooning violins, even though it’s horribly out of time. so, voila -
don’t you (tom’s lo-fi symphonic remix) | nina

don’t you | nina
been working on this song for a couple of weeks, but I’m FINALLY done tweaking with it. phew. quite happy with how it sounds too, I recorded it in a lot less time than usual and I now think that the less time I spend trying to perfect little details, the better it turns out

towers | bon iver
been working on this for a while and I couldn’t get it to sound how I wanted, I’d rather it had more guitar and stuff but HEY still pretty happy with it despite that

the good things, fast | nina
I wrote this a few weeks ago and was recording it normally, then I figured out how to fiddle with the tempo of a track so I sped up the main vocal/guitar track and IT SOUNDS FUNNY it’s better than chipmunking because it’s actually listenable but it sounds autotuned pahaha

decay | nina
a lovely anon asked that I post this, which I wrote about a year ago, so I found my old recording and added a second vocal track because it needed fleshing out a bit. excuse the msn jingle near the end, haha

wrote this last week, haven’t figured out any secondary parts but I’m pretty happy with it. please let me know what you thiiiiiink because I haven’t even played it to anyone so I’ve had absolutely zero feedback and it would be super useful to know if it’s worth working on a bit more or wut

asleep | the smiths
just recorded this, oddly with no harmonies/double tracking/interesting things like that, only my slightly croaky voice. this is possibly one of my favourite songs in the world ummmm yep

the pact (I’ll be your fever) | villagers
absolutely in love with this song and their whole album, which rhiannon gave me for christmas because she’s brilliant
the harmonies on this are unprecise and a little wobbly because I am feeling extra lazy today (not so lazy I can’t do twenty retakes on double tracked vocals, but wtv) but wtv

born to die | lana del rey
of course I was going to butcher a lana del rey song, it was only a matter of time
pretty happy with this but I was thinking of trying some effecty guitar (courtesy of garageband input settings) and I was stuck between ‘double filter’ and ‘dreamy shimmer’ because they sound like NOISES IN SPACE but then I realised that either way I’d just sound like a complete tosser, so I didn’t. cool story

everything goes my way | metronomy (unfinished)
uhhh yeah I started recording this cover then I forgot about it and I just listened back to it and I’m happy with most of it but then my harmonies go WRONG so I just chopped the end off. sorry it’s a bit abrupt
genuinely too lazy to re-record it oooOOoOoOoOoooOoOoOoo

swear upon you | nina
yep yep finally finished working on this one, it took a while. I’ve detuned my guitar down a semitone or two so that’s why it sounds jangly but I kinda like it, and it’s more comfortable to sing to. ummmm yeah I wrote it to this thing I recorded a while ago, just changed the melody and … pretty much everything apart from the chord structures, haha um I’m bad at explaining, just listen to it
and tell me what you think plz because I am sorely lacking in second/third/fourth opinions

been writing something possibly halfway decent for the first time in AGES but every time I try to record it it takes me about thirty goes of getting about halfway through until a guitar string sounds too jangly or I stutter or forget something and then I just smash my face on the keyboard and give up
EVERY
TIME
reason #43 why I will never be a successful musician

uhhhh this is an instrumental I’ve been working on because I can’t fit lyrics to it, so I’ve recorded a couple of layers out of boredom and resisted the urge to put a swooshy ‘live acoustic’ effect on … feedback would really really really be appreciated because idk if I should work on this or if it’s shit or what
my ask is here just in case anyone gives a tiny rat’s ass

lullaby singer | anna nalick
you know that thing where you love a song so much you have to absolutely butcher it on guitar and make everyone listen to it
anyway, sorry for having a croaky voice. if you like it please let me know here and if you don’t then that’s cool too, go and have a cup of tea instead
