Steemit Open Mic Week 108: "Marching Bands of Manhattan" (Death Cab for Cutie Cover) by @k0wsk1

in openmic •  6 years ago 


What's good everyone! I have another DCFC specialty for the Open Mic this week - a cover of their song "Marching Bands of Manhattan", from their album "Plans". I hope you dig it:

Original Track:

Lyrics:

If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson

If I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing
And bend through allies and bounce off all the buildings

I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you

And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin hole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty and half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin hole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty and half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna

Love how soothing your voice is. Great cover! I actually listened to it more than once.

Thanks so much for the support! :D Glad you enjoyed it.

Really great work here

Thanks dood :)

love it, coincidentally yesterday i was thinking how weird it would be to sing about love. not a word i even use very often.

Haha, love songs are hard to write. I've personally never been good at it, it's why I do covers :P

Thanks for stopping by!

Very nice sound bro.

Thank you much m8!

Very nicely done. You channel Ben Gibbard very well! Keep the great songs coming, brother!

Thank you so much! I’ll try :)

I have no doubt that you will. Happy to have discovered you here!

You have a beautiful voice and I wish I could ever play guitar the way you do. I took two years of lessons, almost two decades ago but never really got into it, it was merely playing from sheet music.

This is a more than worthy cover of a song that brings me back to my younger years. I used to listen a lot to Deathcab in the early to mid 2000s.

Keep it up buddy. You are clearly meant to do this :>)

You make me smile every time, @vincentnijman! :) Mid 2000s DCFC is my jam any day. I know far too much of their discography on the guitar.

Thanks as always for stopping by m8 <3
