Elliott Smith 'Between The Bars' cover (just a test)

Just testing how this camera's audio sounds. Conclusion: it sucks! Nonetheless, I post this for a buddy, to whom I promised a song. The song is "Between the Bars" by Elliot Smith. I just learned it, so I screw up the lyrics.

ps: Yes, I'm in my jammies, on the edge of my bathtub (for acoustics). The camera's down low because I was trying to get the little mic in the best position. I only planned to extract the mp3, not use the video, but the crappy audio made it not worth the effort.

pps: I have a website. Here's a post with a better cover version of this song (by someone else) that shows you how to play it, plus the MP3, chords & lyrics:

UPDATE :: I recorded a new version of this song recently (just audio). MP3 of that and all my other covers are now free to download from here:

thanks again guys :)

[robedger]

Beautiful, I had no idea you had such a soft beautiful voice brooke. Definitely should pursue. Maybe you'll inspire me to sing in front of people one day, or at least on Youtube.

[thebrooke]

Thanks Rob. If you want to sing, you definitely should! Andrea has a nice voice. You guys would make an adorable married duet. :)

AT LEAST ON YOUTUBE. jesus, singing on youtube is surely the most scary thing you can do

[thebrooke]

No, singing in front of people is scarier.

[diddydid]

really? cos . . millions of potential people are watching this

[thebrooke]

Yeah but if you fuck up on a video, you just don't post it. If you fuck up live, in front of people, there's no taking it back.

I love 1:53 when you mess up, finish the line and throw in a God Dammit,

Your vulgarity and unassuming charm earned you a new subscriber.

(+you song selection and voice didn't hurt the cause)

[smokebombhill]

You are a unique talent, and I'll just keep on telling you so.

[EvilAlice]

Wow you're really good, I have an acoustic guitar, I'd love to know how to play it, but I don't have the time.

Well done! <3 X.

[Brigitteistheshit]
