Beats Between the Words

We're working on a show for later in January, it's billed as "Honey Gimmee the Covers!" It will be a bunch of solo artists and bands doing cover songs. We're running through the universal songbook trying to come up with some interesting cover songs to do.

I always fall back on some of my old standbys... I've been working on "Cortez the Killer" by Neil Young, "Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" the Rolling Stones, and maybe "One Step Closer" by U2.

These songs have a special resonance for me. You could probably print out the lyrics, string them together and tell some kind of story. I think my life is in the margins or in the beats between the words...
