That’s not to say that I’m not deeply in love with a lot of the music that I listen to — I rarely listen to music that I’m not infatuated with. There are some songs, however, that just resonate in my ears at a level that’s just so different than any other. Whenever I find a song like this, I have to learn how to sing it and I have to learn how to play it. My most recent obsession has been a cover of Upwards Over the Mountain by Jesse Lacey — originally performed by Iron & Wine.

I am making it a point to create my own versions of these discoveries from now on. I usually do it in the privacy of my own home but I’m going a little more public with it. I will post them here for everyone as I make them. I’ll start them off with my cover of Upwards Over The Mountain:

Download audio file (Upward%20Over%20The%20Mountain%20(Cover).mp3)

The others are covered so frequently that I’m not incredibly motivated to make my own versions.

Anyone have any suggestions?
