The live version they do on there b sides album is one of my favorite songs of all time. Nice how you incorporated the 2 versions. This is a song where Moulds actually loses it on stage while performing and you did a brilliant job with performing this rollercoater song of emotions.
This is the only video I found searching for the Slim song by Sugar and well... that's a very good cover. I think that your version fits perfectly the lyrics and anger of the original song. Too bad the video isn't that great in terms of quality, but better than nothing!
I think 'Explode and Make Up' could also use a nice acoustic version :)
The Slim is one of my favorite songs ever & Copper Blue is definitely in my top10 albums of all time. Good cover. Tough to pull off in a bar that I would imagine is full of people that are not familiar w/ the song. One of the great things about the song is Bob clearly puts a lot of emotion into the song & I think you did a good job doing the same.
Thank you so much! I love this song too. I actually mashed up the elements I liked from both the "Besides" version and the Copper Blue version. The dynamic landscape of the Besides version, I find, is actually better suited for solo acoustic and for the subject matter, but I love how in the Copper Blue version, the lyrics are more audible. The lyrics are so great, not just in that song but in the whole album. "Protection from the slide means projection from a slide." Masterful wordplay!
Brilliant bob would be proud
