London Still - The waifs cover

Here is a cover of the song "London Still" by the Waifs, using an instrumental cover of the song by settedenari.

here are the lyrics:

I wonder if you can pick up my accent on the phone
When i call across the country, When i call Across the world,
i can see you in my kitchen i can picture you now
as you toast to your small town and you drink the happy hour

i'm in london still
i'm in, london still
i'm in london, still

i took the tube over to Camden to wander around
i bought some funky records with that old motown sound
and i miss you like my left arm that's been lost in a war
today i dream of home and not of london anymore

i'm in london still
i'm in london still
i'm in london still

you know its okay i'm kinda happy here for now
i think i finally grown up and got myself a lover now
and if i ever come home and i think i will
i hope your gonna wanna hang at my place on sunday still
oh yeah i hope you will

cos i'm in london still

and now we got it sorted here
we've really got it down
to a fine art on sunday in a sleepy sunday town
i wonder what i'm missing i think of songs I've never heard
I'm dreaming of your voices and i'm dreaming of your hurt

i'm in london still
i'm in, london still
i'm in london, still

i'm in london... still.
i'm in, london still
i'm in london... still

[smallk101]

I didn't really like the tune very much. But, good attempt, it would definitely suit a different type of music though. :)

[maddygonepunk]

[Jenchol]

you've got a really beautiful husky voice

[bosszeroboss]

I like how you've taken a soul-searing song about longing and dislocation and turned it into a happy little pop tune!

[auscrawl]

Nice voice, a good version and yes the hair colour does rock

[newtoolsformonkeys]

f*** yeah, cool shite...your vocals could really work in the electronic/electro-acoustic genre...some echo/reverb on current vox would work very well. we did a few of the Waifs tracks in the electronic genre. peace and love.

[philamoses]

[peacebindi]
