VIDEO UPDATES.

KENZY PROJECT UPDATE ONE.

KENZY PROJECT UPDATE TWO.

KENZY PROJECT UPDATE THREE.

So awesome. Hopefully you checked the videos out. It explains what's going on here. I'm basically gonna be updating this thread with videos of me every week or so saying what's going on with me and such. I'll also be posting music I play, songs I've written and covers of songs. Feel free to request songs for me to cover! Challenge me, go find songs for me to cover. I'm an acoustic guitar player so my songs will be acoustic. But that's it.

DEMOS.

Sunday Existentialism [demo]

Just A Little Bit

Come on, Grow up.

Summer Said

Christmas Song

Four Years

COVERS.

Bleeding Love (Originally by Leona Lewis.)

Good Riddance (Originally by Green Day.)

I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Originally by Death Cab For Cutie.)

Soo, yeah! I'm very excited to see the response for this project, and I can't wait to get more songs out to you guys. Thanks, and enjoy!

Your voice is excellent, your lyrics are phenomenal, and the music is just astounding. I love the solo bit at the end, that was fantastic.

Haha, thanks for the incredibly kind words. I appreciate it.

I'm getting kind of ahead of myself, being so excited about all this and am currently recording my cover of Bleeding Love written by Jesse McCartney and that Ryan guy for Leona Lewis' album. There was recently a compilation record released called Rocking Romance which has a bunch of current day alternative artists performing covers of popular love songs, and Bleeding Love was one of them, and after hearing the cover I wanted to cover it. So yeah. I'll have that up here soon.

Oh god I HATE that song. And I am really pumped to hear you make it good.

Suggestions:

Gallows Pole by Led Zeppelin off of their 1970 album Led Zeppelin III.
Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp by Led Zeppelin off of their 1970 album Led Zeppelin III
Thank You by Led Zeppelin off of their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II.

And uh, Time of Your Life by Green Day.

All acoustic masterpieces.

Oh no, I feel safer covering bad songs cause the chances of me making them better are greater. I'll go learn some of those songs, but I'm real scared I won't be able to even halfway live up to the sound of the original song.

Ahahahah! Don't worry, dude. Your every bit as good at singing and playing the guitar as Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are, you have no worries.

Jimmy was a terrible, awful guitar player, his strength was in writing. So you've got no troubles there. And really, any drunken karaoke singer is better than Robert Plant.

I'm gonna tackle Good Riddance by Green Day first. It's real easy to play so I should have fun messing with it.

Big question, should I do a traditional cover of the song and keep it slow, or should I speed it up and do a fast paced version?

As I typed this I realized I could just do both. So I might just do that.

Just do Good Riddance by Green Day with a bit of Kenzy thrown in.

Also, have you thought of using some other MP3 uploading site? This one is really a pain.

EDIT:

I LOVE IT. So much better than the original.

Thanks, haha, it's hard to mess up when the original song isn't too popular. :3

And which uploading site should I use? I used that one cause uploading the files was so easy, I never tried it from the downloading side.

This is a very cool project, one that I wish I had thought of.

You can still get involved. We could do stuff where people could request song covers, once this hopefully gets more popular, and then you and I could cover the same song then post it on here and compare the different approaches to covering it. And if any other musicians want to come in they can do similar things as well.

That could be fun. I've always had problems when it comes to writing original material, but doing my own arrangements of other songs is stuff I do all the time. But I don't want to detract from this being your thing too much.

Well we could have it as a special event kind of thing. Every few weeks or so. Whatever gets more people in here, I want to get more community involvement and stuff, more feedback.

I look forward to the Time of Your Life cover.

Good sh-t, man.

How comes Good Riddance? I am excited, seriously. Almost as much as I am for the new album coming out TOMORROW.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been dealing with allergies so my voice hasn't been all that great. I really need to find a long term solution for this if I want to play shows in Spring, ever. But oh well. For right now I'll just wait for a day my throats more clear and I'll record. Really sorryy.

Time of Your Life is nowhere to be found.

Mediafire.com is excellent. I'm listening to the demo now.... feedback soon.

EDIT: well I listened to Sunday Existentialism. Very cool! At times it ounded like the vocals were too loud and "shouty". The mix if the music was cool, and I loved the sounds and the little solo thing at the end.

I can't listen to bleeding love because I clicked on it once, then accidentally closed the window and when Iclicked the link again I got an erroe saying that my IP was already downloading it...
You should totally use mediafire.com. so much simpler and faster

Good stuff though

The uploading site you used keeps saying my IP is already downloading, and thus won't let me listen to the songs. =/

If not MediaFire (which is easy), I highly recommend making a drop.io. You can easily link to music (I've done this in my art thread in my signature, so you can see how it works if you want), and it streams in the browser so people don't have to download it and then play it in a media player.

Okay. So. It's not Time Of Your Life. Cause I want to take time and get out the sound proof wall and all my fancy stuff to record that one. But I do have a new original song.

Short, sad, and just my style. Here's the DL link, it's also up in the first post. Song's called Just A Little Bit.

Also, I've got another short sweet song done, Come On, Grow Up.
