Default It Is What It Is Cover

Not very happy with this one but it is what it is. Also happens to be appropriately titled.

Well, I can’t imagine why you’re not happy with this. I thought it was terrific. Very nice job indeed.

I’m not familiar with the song. Is it an original?

Thanks for sharing this with us.
Roger

Ernie, I just listed to it, great! The harmony vocals on the course are great, I like the way that the harmony isn't overpowering the main vocals.

Is that standard tuning? Something sounded different to my ears on the guitar.

I've never heard to the song before so I googled it - I take it this is the Lifehouse cover? You had mentioned you're a big fan previously.

Thanks guys. Can't put a finger on it but it makes me cringe. Nails on a chalkboard.

Thanks Dru. Yes, Lifehouse. This will be the last one of theirs I butcher.

Hi Ernie,

I think it's very well done! I loved it. I have never heard anything you've done that hasn't been terrific and so is this.

I don't need to know the song to appreciate a good song well performed!

Thanks for putting this up Ernie!

- Glenn

Thank you Glenn. The next tune I am hearing in my head will be very familiar so hopefully I can pull it off.

Thanks again.
