I'm playing a Valentine's Day show and I can't decide what to cover. Thoughts/suggestions?
-
I'm thinking Morning Song
-
"Summer Home In Your Arms" is also great
-
What's Simple Is True
-
Now that I've slept on it, I'm also considering Does Anyone Believe in Love Anymore ... maybe Painters.
-
I didn't have context for the reddit thread with a similar question so I gave a few other options, but I think Thump Thump is a perfect Valentine's Day song in this situation.
Maybe I Think I'm Fallin' or Rub Somebody the Right Way for after dark :rofl2:

I don't know this one very well :blush:
-
You've got time – and I'm pretty sure it's one of the ones you did a tutorial on Travis picking for! Or maybe I'm just making it up. You could make it up. Add new verses. That would be cute. You could do it, you're really growing in your own songwriting!
-
Also, although I don't really consider it a love song, YWMFM would be something many people might recognize.
-
I'm avoiding break-up songs, and YWMFM is a break-up song.
I've never done a Travis picking tutorial. Might be Linda you're thinking of. I've largely avoided Perfectly Terrible in its entirety lol
-
I feel silly making that mix-up! 😅
-
I just looked it up on the wiki. It was BreAnn (👼😢)
-
Ah! She was right before my time. I remember Linda was the one who posted the instructional video I used to learn the pattern, but it wasn't an EDA - it some dude with a course on youtube.
-
FFS, NOT Painters! :grumpy: :facepalm:
-
You don't like Painters??
-
You don't like Painters??
To say it's a bit much is an understatement.
-
I just don't know what that means in this context.
-
I find painters beautiful. ♥️♥️♥️
Also, today, I was listening to EDA Radio and Cleveland came on. It's a different version from what I'm used to hearing but it was great, and I think that it could actually fit in your set - and you could even change Cleveland to "Norterra" or the venue name or something cute!
-
Aww that's a cute idea!
I love painters. I think it's a sweet little love story and it's super easy to play. Plus, I'll have other musicians with me and that song can give them a nice five minute break.

Is it only 5? I remember it being more like 7 1/2, but I haven't heard it in years. Either way, it always seemed too long to me...seemed to drag. One of the low points of the album to me, after Adrian.

Fair enough! What do you think would be a good Jewel song to cover for a Valentine's Day show?
-
Feel like celebrating? 🤪

FuckifIknow. The guy women love but don't want isn't the one to ask about anything having to do w/ a contrived romantic holiday.
The internet tells me Painters is 6:45, btw. I assume that's the album version. IMO, that's far too long to do as a cover song that nobody is probably gonna recognize. But again...wtf do I know?
-
Okay but what is your favorite Jewel love song.

I got nothin'. My experience w/ love is all about the unrequited, & I don't remember any of her songs coming from there. Anything else is just too idealistic for me, bec. it's not my reality. It's easier for me to say what I definitely don't like than find one I do.
-
Mister says Painters is a bad choice, too. He said it's too long. :(

He's right. If you don't listen to me, you should listen to the guy you live with. :P

If I do a Jewel song at my show now, it will be Money.
