🎙️Songs From the Bathroom #16 e̷d̷i̷t̷e̷d̷

🎧 a Bob Marley Parody • a K-Ci & JoJo Cover

These next two recordings are some more of my first raw ones from months ago. Both of these were sent as voice text messages and were totally spontaneous and spur-of-the-moment. I had no idea that I was going to do either one in this fashion. Both are pretty lo-fi and were done without any of my studio apps, but I did try to clean them up a little bit.

I had planned on doing “No Woman, No Cry” by Bob Marley, but as I got ready to do it, this idea popped into my head to be funny with it and use an accent on my voice. Then suddenly, an inside joke between the person and me came to mind, and I changed it to “No Punani, No Cry.” 😆 For some of it, I was just making up lyrics as I went along. Lol.

For the second one, I was feeling like doing a ’90s R&B love song. In the moment, I was thinking along the lines of Boyz II Men or maybe Keith Sweat or something. Then suddenly, “All My Life” by K-Ci & JoJo came to mind, but I kind of ad-libbed it and did my own version completely out of the blue.

These two are different from my others, but I think it’s kind of cool how they turned out. Neither one was planned—they just happened in the moment. So I thought I’d share them.

Appreciate yall. Thanks for listening. 😎

🎙️Songs From the Bathroom #5

Covers by Pat Green and the band Cracker

…

For anyone new to my blog…

I started playing guitar in November of 1988. I was 14. I had no intention of learning, but after the tragic death of my best friend, a guitar found its way to me one night and somehow made a way for me—a way to face things.

Music has always been the heart of me.

But a handful of years ago, I arrived at a place inside where it just didn’t matter anymore. Life was hitting me hard. I lost the fire. The desire for it. So I stopped playing completely for over three years and honestly wasn’t sure I’d ever play again.

Then recently, something started bubbling up in me. I could feel it coming back, strong.

So about three or four months ago, I picked it back up, and I honestly feel like that kid again. Maybe even more than before.

Since then, I’ve been playing most every day for a few hours, conditioning my fingers and getting my calluses back. A few people close to me have been asking me to record and share some songs with them, so that’s what I’ve been doing.

I started recording in my room but eventually moved to the bathroom because the acoustics are much better. It’s nothing fancy—just me, my guitar, and a simple app on my phone called Lexis Audio Editor.

As the recordings started piling up, I decided to make it a series. A few people here on WordPress had also been asking me to share, so here we are.

Honestly, these posts are nothing more than me sitting around doing what I normally do. They just happen to be captured this time.

Also, many of these are recorded late at night while others are sleeping. So I try to play and sing loud enough to make it decent without waking the dead. 😁

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — ⛽️ Fuel (Week 23)

Innocent 🎵 Daniel (Elton John cover)

…

So today is Fuel again…

—but I’m not really here to talk about them.

We’ll let the music handle that.

I want to talk about Elton John.

…

When I was a kid…
I wore Superman underwear—
’cause he was my hero… 🦸‍♂️

Then I got older—
and found out Superman wears Chuck Norris underwear 😄

But here’s one most people don’t know…

Many of your favorite artists—
across every genre—

they’re secretly wearing Elton John underwear.

…

I’ve been a fan of Elton since I first picked up a guitar as a teenager…
and over time—I started noticing something…

the greats…
they all love him too.

…

I saw an interview with Axl Rose once—
they asked what he listens to…
no pause— he says “Elton John.”

Then one night… I was watching one of the late night shows…
I believe it was Letterman…

Dave Grohl walks out solo with an acoustic guitar…

starts playing “Tiny Dancer”…
He gets the audience to sing along…

one of those moments you don’t forget.

And later… I found out Dave Grohl loves him some Elton.

…

So I started paying attention…
and it’s everywhere. Across all genres… many have Elton in common.

His music is loved… admired… and listened to by his peers…

Fuel’s no different.
Brett and Carl… they feel the same.

…

Elton… bruh… you’re the man! 🙌…

…

So today—

I’ve got two for you.

…

🎵 Innocent
Something Like Human — 2oO0

🎵 Daniel (Elton John cover)
Something Like Human — 2oO0

…

I love this cover of Daniel… it’s great…
and it holds a deep place for me… I sang it on my guitar earlier tonight

But back in 2o12… I was hanging out with my friend Nathan…
We were roommates… he was younger than me… like my little brother…
so anyway… this song started playing…

Nathan told me how much it meant to him…
said it reminded him of his older brother, Daniel…
who had passed a few years earlier from a drug overdose…

Well… in 2o14… I lost Nathan…
also to drugs…

I knew his brother too…

So now… when I hear this song…
I don’t just hear it—

…

I remember them both…

…

Also “Innocent” is one of my all-time favorite songs…
I’m not sure what it is about it… but it just gets better and better every time for me…
and I love when the drums kick in around the 1-minute mark…

Also I’ve included a bonus interview with Carl & Brett…
it’s really cool… I think…

Thanks for the love—
hope you enjoy 🎸`

Bernie & Elton
