“Emaline” (Ben Folds Five Cover)

By Jeff Copperthite:

My 2nd installment for fusco-moore.com’s “Laptop Sessions”. This time we’ll get a bit more obscure.

This song is from Ben Folds Five, and was a song that was intended for their album “Whatever and Ever Amen” – a great album – but Ben Folds decided to not put this song on because it had guitar, and would take away from the piano-rock theme they were trying to promote.

This is such a great song, and I love hearing it at his shows. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up.  We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session.  We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and origianal music blog again in the future.  But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 marks the start of the fourth season of The Laptop Sessions with Jim Fusco. This year, Jim will perform a new cover song music video every two weeks, with articles and reviews in between.

The season will run the length of a normal television season, ending in late May or early June.

Jim is excited about this new schedule and believes he will be able to give more time to each performance. He’s also looking forward to more collaborations with the Traveling Acai Berries and his brother, Mike.

Jim also has nine new songs that are slated for a future, yet untitled, album. So, stay tuned for more Original Wednesday posts, too!

Please join us this year during Jim’s “Road to a Million”, when we will count down to 1,000,000 YouTube video views on all of Jim’s music videos. And you can see it all here at The Laptop Sessions acoustic cover songs and original music video blog!

“Waterfalls” (Quilt Acoustic Original Song)

Welcoem to our favorite day of the week – Original Wednesday! Where we bring to light the various talents of us in the form of an original song.

Today I am doing an “oldie but somewhat goodie” from Quilt’s library. This is a song that I wrote called “Waterfalls”, and while it didn’t see an official Quilt release until “Patchwork”, I originally wrote and recorded this song back in 1999. It was one of my first ever acoustic guitar songs that I wrote. My friend Scott Jordan also helped me with the lyrics way back when.

I’m sorry if i’ve seemed short with descriptions the past week. I’ve been taking a course at the University of New Haven and it’s intensive. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday since last week. My brain is fried.

Enjoy today’s installment (and enjoy the nice new paint job we just got in the house!), and come back tomorrow for the next acoustic cover song from the one and only Jim Fusco!
