Sasha SmithI'm obsessed with @OliviaRodrigo's song drivers license, so I thought I'd give it a go and cover it 🤭
This is a first for me, as I usually only upload my original material, so if you enjoyed it please let me know and I'll do some more covers for the channel.
It was fun to recreate the whole production from scratch, I'll upload a production breakdown video soon because what Dan Nigro did on this song is genius — it's the epitome of the less is more philosophy and finding balance in simplicity.
Hats off to Olivia and Dan for writing and producing such a heartfelt global hit. It's refreshing to see music this well made topping the charts.

⨀ Lyrics You fight to live But in the end it comes The sweet embrace Of a bittersweet race
Oh, my love In the end it comes It comes
Walking out in the rain Knowing life won't ever be the same What a shame What a shame
Oh, my love In the end it comes It comes My love In the end it comes It comes
If you're any good Life will break you Life will break you
Oh, my love In the end it comes It comesI Dont Belong in Your Arms (Audio)Sasha Smith2026-02-27 | “I Don't Belong in Your Arms” from the EP Running Down Dark Alleys Blind
⨀ Lyrics Been around the block And seen it through your eyes Been around St. Petersburg's paradise
But I don't belong in your arms No I don't belong in your arms
Been around the world And I've seen disease Been around the failures of my dreams
But I don't belong in your arms No I don't belong in your arms Maybe the traps you weave Just ain't my way
Said I don't belong in your arms No I don't belong in your arms Maybe the traps you weave Just ain't my way My way My way
Been around the block And seen it through your eyes Been around St. Petersburg's paradiseNumb (Audio)Sasha Smith2026-02-27 | “Numb” from the EP Running Down Dark Alleys Blind
⨀ Lyrics Running down dark alleys blind Feels like life's getting tight Like I'm losing touch inside Like my joy's gonna die
And I've been keeping track of time In a notebook by my bedside lamp And I am numb
That's not to say the world ain't bright 'Cause everyone around me is so damn kind It's just that I can't seem to shake this sigh This sigh that drains my sight and drifts by
And I've been keeping track of time In a notebook by my bedside lamp And I am numbChildhood Naps (Official Video)Sasha Smith2025-04-25 | “Childhood Naps” from the EP Running Down Dark Alleys Blind
I filmed this video back in 2022 on one of my walks—long before I wrote ‘Childhood Naps’. When I started thinking about what to create for the official video, this old clip suddenly came to mind. I tried pairing it with the song, and somehow, it just clicked. The horses seemed to move in sync with the tempo, almost acting out the lyrics. Total serendipity. I couldn't have choreographed it better if I tried. I had to use it. I'm really happy with how it turned out—hope you enjoy it too.
⨀ Lyrics Tired eyes Like coffee stains In old Penguin books My mother read My mind gets overwhelmed When I think Of all the people I’ve met
The last few times I could feel the pain Just by the way they looked Never mind what they said These days life seems full of dread Like if you blink You might miss it all And you’ll be dead
Take me back to childhood naps When everything was new Running off to school and back Back to childhood naps
Fistfights Covered in film grain Becoming firewood For a burning bayonet That cuts you a new breath So you won’t sink All the way down the waterfall To start again
Take me back to childhood naps When everything was new Running off to school and back Back to childhood naps Back to childhood naps Back to childhood

Filmed with Marta on the same day we filmed the official video. This was filmed just before, during golden hour — I love the way the light looks.
⨀ Lyrics Lately I’ve been living in the place Where dreams go to die Knowing that I’ll end up in a grave Why even try? They told me there’ll be moments in my life When everything’s
F**king perfect F**king perfect
Waking up to the morning sun Drops of rain on the window panes Outside cats at play That could be one
The one you love holding your son Half a smile from your other child At night you’re alone for a while
It's f**king perfect F**king perfect
One last chance when you thought you were beat You come out swinging, you’re grinning Oh Christ, now you’re living

Art revitalizes people like us. Every Wednesday, I send out a midweek oasis: a moment to pause, connect with art, and recharge for the rest of the week.
I share: ⨀ Art, music, and writing I’ve loved lately ⨀ My latest work ⨀ Thoughts on creative experiments like digital minimalism and tips for artists
I’m off social media and building something different. No algorithms, no ads, no “brand.” Just art, connection, and word of mouth.
If this meant something to you, send it to a friend. Share it on WhatsApp, by text, or email. It’s the only way my work grows — through real people, like you.
Talking to the songbird yesterday Flew me to a past not far away She's a little pirate in my mind Singing songs of love to pass the time
Gonna write a song, so she can see Give her all the love she gives to me Talk of better days that have yet to come Never felt this love from anyone
She's not anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone
A man can never dream these kind of things Especially when she came and spread her wings Whispered in my ear the things I'd like Then she flew away into the night
Gonna write a song, so she can see Give her all the love she gives to me Talk of better days that have yet to come Never felt this love from anyone
She's not anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone

The lights will draw you in And the dark will bring you down And the night will break your heart But only if you’re lucky now
Waiting outside while you find your keys Like bags of trash in the blackening snow City of neon and toes that freeze We’ve got nothing and nowhere to go We’ve got nothing and nowhere
And the lights will draw you in And the dark will take you down And the night will break your heart But only if you’re lucky now
If the lights draw you in And the dark can take you down Then love can mend your heart But only if you’re lucky now
Ay-ay-ay Ay-ay-ay Ay-ay Ay-ay-ay
I don’t remember, were we wild and young? All that’s faded into memory I feel like somebody I don't know Are we really who we used to be? Am I really who I was?

Para mí uno de los más grandes y éste uno de sus mejores temas.

You were just a face in the crowd You were just a face in the crowd Out in the street Walking around A face in the crowd
Out of a dream Out of the sky Into my heart Into my life
You were just a face in the crowd You were just a face in the crowd Out in the street Thinking out loud A face in the crowd
Out of a dream Out of the sky Into my heart Into my life
You were just a face in the crowd You were just a face in the crowd Out in the street Walking around A face in the crowd A face in the crowd A face in the crowd

I pulled in to the town of Amarillo To buy myself a little bit of relief I thought I saw her as I passed Gallup Standing outside the El Rancho But I was mistaken My imagination was just playin' tricks on me
It sure is awful hot here in Phoenix The land of the painted desert sky Where they're yet to discover or uncover the Dutchman's gold I hear tell of a fountain in the Superstition Mountains It's a story that is very well told
I find myself crossing the great Mojave Steady keeping the red and white lights company She was born in Houston raised up in Tennessee But she lived in Georgia with me So if you see her would you please tell her I'm all the way from Atlanta I'm all the way from Atlanta I cried all the way from Atlanta

You confused me when you said “I can’t believe your River’s dead” Seven days I know

Anoche me senté acompañado de la nostalgia a cantar unos temas y me apeteció grabar éste. Cuando tocaba en la calle aquí en Donosti hace unos años, solía tocar mucho Lady Madrid. Me trae muy buenos recuerdos. Y cómo no, al cantar temas de Pereza y Leiva siempre me acuerdo de los años que pasé viviendo en la Alameda de Osuna y los paseos que daba por el Parque Juan Carlos I. Tremendos años, tremenda ciudad y tremendo barrio.
Espero que disfrutéis esta versión acústica de Lady Madrid de Pereza.
Más bonita que ninguna, ponía a la peña de pie Con más noches que la luna, estaba todo bien Probaste fortuna en 1996 De Málaga hasta La Coruña, durmiendo en la estación de tren
La estrella de los tejados, lo más rock & roll de por aquí Los gatos andábamos colgados, Lady Madrid
Más viciosa que ninguna, pero tan difícil de coger Tuvo un piso en las alturas, handle it with care Probaste fortuna con heroes de barrio y conmigo también Algunos todavía dudan, si vas a volver
La estrella de los tejados, lo más rock & roll de por aquí Los gatos andábamos colgados, Lady Madrid Pitillos ajustados, era The Burning, Ronaldos y Lou Reed Y nunca hablaban los diarios de Lady Madrid

#LadyMadrid #LadyMadridCover #Pereza #PerezaCover #Leiva #RubenPozoif im honest (Acoustic)Sasha Smith2021-03-06 | This song was first written in this form. Raw, acoustic, and honest. I hope you enjoy this acoustic version of my track "if i'm honest".
If I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why If I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why
I think it’s easier to know Something ain’t gonna work out It’s easier than looking inside of me To see what’s wrong I know it’s much easier to blame This fucked up world And you, every single fucking one of you For having me misunderstood
If I hate you Will you love me? If I hate you Will you?
’cause if I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why If I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why
Self sabotage, sweeter than any other drug Of course I wouldn’t know But I’m pretty sure I’m right It’s much easier to stay put Than to even fake a move Much nicer to remain Than to leave everything behind
If I hate you Will you love me? If I hate you Will you?
’cause if I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why If I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why
If I’m honest Will you love me? If I’m honest Really honest Will you love me? If I’m honest If I’m honest If I’m honest

Ed has a gift for finding the sweetest melodies and lyrics. The second verse is my favourite part to sing, such a release 😍
Lyrics: Stop the clocks it’s amazing You should see the way the light dances off your hair A million colours of hazel, golden and red Saturday morning is fading The sun’s reflected by the coffee in your hand My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again
We were love drunk waiting on a miracle Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow So alone in love like the world had disappeared Oh I won’t be silent and I won’t let go I will hold on tighter ‘til the afterglow And we’ll burn so bright ‘til the darkness softly clears
Oh I will hold on to the afterglow Oh I will hold on to the afterglow
The weather outside’s changing The leaves are buried under six inches of white The radio is playing, Iron & Wine This is a new dimension This is a level where we’re losing track of time I’m holding nothing against it, except you and I
We were love drunk waiting on a miracle Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow So alone in love like the world had disappeared Oh I won’t be silent and I won’t let go I will hold on tighter ‘til the afterglow And we’ll burn so bright ‘til the darkness softly clears
Oh I will hold on to the afterglow Oh I will hold on to the afterglow Oh I will hold on to the afterglow

This time I'm going over the production session of my drivers license cover. This song is a great example of finding the right balance of simplicity and the less is more philosophy. Hats off to @OliviaRodrigo and Dan Nigro for writing and producing such a heartfelt global hit. It's refreshing to see music this well made topping the charts.
In the video you can see how I go about dissecting a track when I want to cover it or learn from it. Starting with active listening and creating a first approximation of the layers I hear in the song, to ending with a fully fleshed out arrangement. I go over the main ideas of the song, how I translated them for my cover, all the instrumentation, MIDI programming synths and drums, vocal arrangement and treatment, and much more. I hope you enjoy this Ableton Live production breakdown of my cover of Olivia Rodrigo's "drivers license" 🤗

Join me for a stripped and intimate rendition of my song been waiting so long. This was recorded with one mic, in one take. Hope you enjoy it!
I've been waiting so long I'm starting to forget what I want I've been waiting so long Most days the spark is gone
I’ve been waiting so long I’ve been waiting
Lost in this battle Lost in the rain Lost in this battle Where my hope, it comes and it goes Yes my hope, it blankets my pain
I’ve been waiting so long Like a dusty paper doll in the attic of my soul I’ve been waiting so long Sand dunes and I’m falling handcuffed to a watch
I’ve been waiting so long I’ve been waiting
Lost in this battle Lost in the rain Lost in this battle Where my hope, it comes and it goes My hope, it blankets my rage
Time slips away And only my memory fades Salvation come Salvation come Come
Lost in this battle Lost in the rain Lost in this battle Where my hope, it comes and it goes And my hope, it blankets my pain ======
℗ 2021 Sasha Smith.been waiting so long (Ableton Session Breakdown)Sasha Smith2021-02-07 | Today I just wanted to sit down, open Ableton, and go through the whole production session for "been waiting so long" with you guys. I thought it might be helpful—or weirdly entertaining—for some of you out there to see a breakdown of the arrangement, the dissected structure of the song, and how I produced it. If you're anything like me, you love seeing how things are made! I've seen a couple artists that I really respect here on YouTube do similar things, so I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring and give it a try with my own music. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this Ableton Live production breakdown of my latest single "been waiting so long" 🤗
#pinkfridaysvol2 #abletonlive #productionbreakdown #beenwaitingsolongbeen waiting so long (Audio)Sasha Smith2021-01-28 | Here's a song about waiting, isolation, and the odd glimpse of hope we hang onto. To me it feels a little like screaming out into a void. I'm not expecting anything to come back or change; not even anyone to hear me or help me. It just serves the need for an outlet for all the emotions that rack up year after year of trials and failures. If you're in need of some hope too, this song's for you.
Guru boy man you got me going hard Now I'm thirsty for their blood Thinking maybe I'm the judge Maybe I'm the one who's coming The one who'll show them In this war there's a hero and a whore
Maybe I'm the son you desired When you moved on
Now it's me and your soul Me and your soul It's me and your soul Me and your soul
Yellow boy walking down the boulevard Stacking bodies in the mud Turning killers into dust I told you I was done pretending Don't you worry I've got em all queuing up at death's door
You will rise from their ashes A phoenix at dawn
Now it's me and your soul Me and your soul It's me and your soul Me and your soul
I like it I'm not gonna fail I'm the sidekick Going off the rails Do you like me? Do you think I'll fail? Am I crazy? Going off the rails
I got it You want it My blueprint My fable Those roses You're hiding They're falling Boy you got it 'cause it's in my head Faded into the blue
Now it's me and your soul (me and your soul) Me and your soul (falling in love) It's me and your soul (me and your soul) Me and your soul
I like it I'm not gonna fail I'm the sidekick Going off the rails Do you like me? Do you think I'll fail? Am I crazy? Going off the rails (now it's me and your soul) I like it I'm not gonna fail (me and your soul) I'm the sidekick Going off the rails (it's me and your soul) Do you like me? Do you think I'll fail? (me and your soul) Am I crazy? Going off the rails (it's me and you)
If I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why If I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why
I think it's easier to know Something ain't gonna work out It's easier than looking inside of me To see what's wrong I know it's much easier to blame This fucked up world And you, every single fucking one of you For having me misunderstood
If I hate you Will you love me? If I hate you Will you?
'cause if I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why If I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why
Self sabotage, sweeter than any other drug Of course I wouldn't know But I'm pretty sure I'm right It's much easier to stay put Than to even fake a move Much nicer to remain Than to leave everything behind
If I hate you Will you love me? If I hate you Will you?
'cause if I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why If I’m honest I’m addicted to losing Real honest, I’m a sucker for the losing side I don’t even wanna know why No, I don’t even wanna know why
If I'm honest Will you love me? If I'm honest Really honest Will you love me? If I'm honest If I'm honest If I'm honest

Who would have thought that the sound of a cough, soap washing hands, and a knock on the door could turn into a fresh song!
Watch me sample those 3 elements of coronavirus in Ableton Live and synthesize them into a kick, hi hats, a clap, a bass and a synth pad.
Stay till the end for a surprise visit from everyone’s favourite character from The Office, the one and only Michael Scott.

#beatmaking #sampling #ableton #coronavirusbeatsurprising my girlfriend on a lockdown birthday (vlog)Sasha Smith2020-04-01 | I’m surprising my girlfriend on her 22nd birthday for this episode of ALMOST PINK. We haven’t seen each other since the coronavirus quarantine began 3 weeks ago here in Spain. Her birthday was March 20th and there was no way I could spend it with her, so I had to come up with a way to celebrate it from a distance. Take a look at how the date night / romantic video gift turned out in this week’s vlog…
I also show you how I made the intro music for the vlog in Ableton Live. If you’re into music production you get some bonus tips :)

#quarantinebirthday #girlfriendsurprise #ableton #almostpinkbuilding a pc during lockdown (vlog)Sasha Smith2020-03-28 | I'm building myself a PC during the coronavirus quarantine in this episode of ALMOST PINK. I decided to ditch my Macbook Pro and build a Windows desktop for music production and video editing. I needed more power and an affordable way to get it. Just as I thought everything was done and I was about to do my victory dance... THE VIRUS HIT!
These resources were key in my journey to creating a beast PC for music production and video editing. A silent, powerful, and reliable machine. Check them out if you want to build yourself a computer too!
