grover Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ok - I'm no proffesional, but here's my attempt at Politik :) Took me a few hours of solid graft - especially the String arrangments and other twiddly bits - I think I may have bitten off more than I could chew with that song ! . It wasn't easy ! Hope you enjoy :) http://rapidshare.de/files-en/551916/Nick_Saunders_-_Politik_-_Coldplay_cover.mp3.html PS : I'll start on Ladder To The Sun next ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twin4life Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 holy crap did you do that entire thing yourself? :o the mixing and everything? i did enjoy :D (not as much as the scientist though, i'll forever like that song more in any version ;) :lol: ) but seriously, did you do everything yourself in that song? :stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grover Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Yes - I did everything in that - who needs a band when you have a PC ;-) it took me 3 days and I tell you it was hard work :) I have sore eyes from staring at the Monitor though hehe ! Thanks for listening btw :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin4life Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 i played a bit of the songs to my brother, and he says that they're really well done and he likes them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidious Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 It sounds as if you are trying to emulate Chris's voice, you should try using more of your own style perhaps? Plus it would be more interesting if you took the song down a different path i.e. tempo, chord structure etc Just a suggestion, dont take it the wrong way ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grover Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 No worries Sidious - thanks for listening :) Btw I tried doing a completely different version of this song awhile back and it turned out terrbile- so Istuck to the original configuration :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidious Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Glad u didnt take it the wrong way :D Im also record my own stuff, so when I get round to it I will do an acoustic of a Coldplay song and put it up for all to listen... Out of interest what software do u use? I use Cool Edit 2000 with the Studio plug-in. It can get some very impressive results providing you put the time in :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grover Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 I also use Cool Edit - it's a great program ;-) you can get good results -but yeah- it takes patience and some free time :) Look forward to hearing some of your stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrywoman Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I havent heard your Scientist cover yet... downloading as we speak.. but I've just heard this one.. pretty good. I like the 'give me love over, love over this' part best.. I can see where you might get that 'wannabe Chris' comment.. its hard to make a song truly your own when you have the original artist in your head.. but its a great attempt! Better than anything I can do that for sure! lol cheers for sharing! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
