everett jamesall of melodrama is a fucking work of art but this is one of my favourite songs it's such a jaaaaaaaaam thank u lorde for blessing my ears
also i'm proud of how this came out??? it was an interesting challenge recording with a click for the first time cos usually i hate them but i think the percussion came out alright (tho i think i'll change up how i do it next time - separate different drums into different tracks) and i'm proud of the lil harmonies and stuff they were fun to add :) :) :) hope u like it!!!!

holiday-eyes.bandcamp.com holiday-eyes.tumblr.com twitter.com/holiday_eyesmay i have this dance // francis and the lights covereverett james2017-08-01 | here's a lil acoustic cover of a song that maja introduced me to in rag... june i think? or may. but yeah it's a cool song!!! tbh i wanted to do more with this cover but i just got irritated with it cos nothing was really working out so. here's the bare bones cos it was just this side of too good to scrap completely lmfao.
ps if u have anything u've been meaning to buy on bandcamp do it this friday!!!!! cos bandcamp is giving 100% of their share of all sales on august 4th to the transgender law centre which is awesome!!!!!
in other news i went to pride in toronto this past weekend and filmed a ton of stuff cos i'm a loser so hopefully i'll be able to turn that into something fun to watch soon!! also i'm getting closer to finishing my second album so that's rlly exciting i wanna finish it by the end of the summer!! i have no doubt that i'll keep talking about that as i get closer to finishing it lmao
also!!! remember like a year ago when i said i was almost finished my second ep/album thing WELL i've rerecorded it like three times since then BUT it's properly almost finished now i'm hoping to have it out this summer!! july or august. it's called transitions and i'm really proud of it it's 8 tracks long and this is track 8 !!! i'll keep the internet posted on that as i'm finishing it up of course i spend like 60% of my time complaining on twitter about how recording is simultaneously the best and worst thing there is lmao

also the thumbnail is so funny to me for some reason it looks like a really gay reaction imagine or a subtitle for what i'm thinking about at any given moment.

holiday-eyes.tumblr.com twitter.com/holiday_eyes holiday-eyes.bandcamp.comhold on // originaleverett james2016-06-21 | i wrote this like. a week ago but it's been so long since i wrote something i'm happy with that i can't look past that and be objective about it so really. i have no idea if this is any good or not. hopefully it is lmfao. writing is so weird
it’s 2am and i see myself reflected in my bedroom window the only light is the light of the moon judging me and telling me to sleep the only sound is laboured breathing i can’t stop my heart from racing
cos what if i flunk out of college, and never find a job what if it all falls apart and i lose somebody else what if everybody’s faking having ever cared for me what if everything settles and i never write another song
it’s 3am and now the face in the window is stained with tears and that might be blood the only light is my heart burning so it would finally shut up and the only sound is everything i love crashing and burning around my ears again
cos what if i flunk out of college and never find a job what if it all falls apart and i lose somebody else what if everybody’s faking having ever cared for me what if everything settles and i never write another song
I absolutely adore this song and I hope I did it justice, and I hope you all enjoy this new video even if I don't get selected as a finalist for the contest. if you want to keep in touch and find out whether I do or not, follow me on tumblr or twitter, as I'm sure I'll yell about it lots and lots.
http://holiday-eyes.tumblr.com http://twitter.com/holiday_eyes holiday-eyes.bandcamp.comthis far // kina grannis covereverett james2015-01-31 | this video is brought to you by boredom-induced song learning, ie my scapegoat for why I haven't started my biology assignment yet. also I apologize for the general head voicey-ness of this cover, I'm sick (as always). in all seriousness though, this song means a lot to me and I'm glad I got the chance to cover it on here.
and yes, I am aware that my hair is sticking up like crazy. it does that sometimes. I'm used to it
