Here's a cover of Contender by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. It's one of a favorite songs by them, and it was also a great way to excersise my production skills as it's a fairly simple song to reproduce but also put my own spin on. I was struggling with the vocals at first. I was going for an 80's ethereal sound and after hours of tweaking and experimenting I got the sound I was going for. Shifting my voice up an octave really helped and it kinda sounds like I got a female backup singer XD! Also for now this is the closest you'll get to a face reveal :b

Lyrics
-------------------------------------------
Look what you've done
Look what you've done, what do you have now?
Things that never come
Another year in a dead end room, is it time to come down?

At the back of a crowded scene
You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"
But you never were
You never were a contender

I heard your same old tune
Singing city sins like you were the first one
Gave up books for film
Gave up film for time now that you've got none

At the back of a crowded scene
You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"

At the back of a crowded scene
You saw the boys in white sing "I'm a pretender"
But you never were
You never were a contender

A contender
You never were a contender
You never were a contender
