Song: “Love My Way”

It’s become a joke that any cover song I perform will be scooped up by a more famous artist. When Laurie and I were performing as the Walkingbirds, we used to play Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes,” which was cool until people started asking if I’d heard of this Jeffrey Gaines fellow, and wow his version of “In Your Eyes” is just awesome, so we must be like total fans or something, right?

Anyway, I’m not sure what the brothers Butler had in mind when they wrote this tune. All I know is it’s been stuck in my brain for months, and it’s my moral imperative to appall hardcore fans with my baby-soft treatment of the best pop tune of ‘82, and I must do it before Death Cab For Cutie does.

Why is this a clip? I thought you hated clips.

Yeah, about that. This is a cover song, which means I had to buy a license, and that license only allows downloads, not streams.The license also limits the number of downloads, so at some point the links below will stop working. Sorry, gotta play by the book on this one.

Just like the last tune, the 128k version is free to Demo Clubbers, and the 320k version can be had along with acoustic and instrumental versions for one US dollar.

Death-defying. Love that electrical guitar thing.

I love how the first few notes of anything you record makes me stop what I’m doing and check to see what that new song is . . .

Lemme know if you have time to chat about some internet usage learnin’ for musicians.
