This year’s rocktober is winding down. Rocktober is when our little songwriting group shares cover songs. This song stood out from “The Voice” last week. I struggled with the chorus because I don’t have the chops to hit those high notes. So I went lower but to compensate for the build of the chorus through the vocals, I gave the piano a boost to build the excitement of the chorus.
Praying for the people of Jamaica!
So I was streaming some IndiePop songs on YouTube and found this one by OneRepublic – it caught my ear so I had to give it a Screamie Birds spin for Rocktober.

“The Voice” season has started and that means I may be inspired to do cover songs this month just in time for Rocktober. So when I heard Max Cooper’s version of “Cooler Than Me” by Mike Posner, I knew I had to try it. Totally different “Screamie Birds-style” and I changed some of the lyrics to add a rhyme to some of the verses (marked by parens) and one for language.
