MaryBeth's David Bowie's 8 Line Poem

This is me doing my version of David Bowie's "Eight Line Poem" from my favorite of his albums, Hunky Dory. I realized that when I cover songs, I almost always choose songs written for a man to sing. I think this has less to do with any personal gender issue and more to do with the fact that when I sing a song written for a man, it is expected to naturally change. It is less likely to be an imitation because I have to change keys and such. So there is a kind of freedom there.
