Default R.E.M.'s Superman (Cover) Video and Bonus Super Hero Original Video

Hello AGF,

Here's my take on R.E.M.'s cover of Superman (originally by the Clique):



And speaking of songs about heroes, here's one I wrote about 25 years ago but decided to record again while stuck at home during COVID:



Thanks for watching!

-Dave

Thanks Sal!

You might get a kick out of the comment my wife made - “I think I heard you say ‘I am’ about 1,000 times in the garage.”

I’ll just say, this was NOT done in one take.

Cheers and thanks for watching!

Dave

Fantastic job on both tunes, Dave! And the sound you get is a lot better than any garage band I've ever heard. With those references to Canada I sure hope it’s a heated garage

Enjoyed that (even though you looked more like Batman). You and your twin brother harmonise quite well

Thanks! Appreciate the compliment - it’s funny, I do read a lot on AGF about getting the perfect sound treatment in a room. Luckily for me, the garage is well suited for my kind of (noise) music. Of course my oldest daughter wishes it wasn’t right below her bedroom!

Also, happily, I’m based here in the San Francisco Bay Area, so it doesn’t get too chilly in the garage too often.

Thanks so much for watching (both!) and the kind note.

Cheers!

Dave

Thanks Ozzy! I was hoping folks would get a kick out of the two Batman shirts.

And thanks for the compliment on the harmony. It’s one of those recordings I did and every time I listened to it, I hated the vocals. Went back and re-recorded but kept a little bit of the take I hated as a third voice in the mix.

Thanks for watching and the nice note!

Cheers,

Dave
