MusogabiThis is the most ambitious thing I've done on this channel and I don't know if it was worth it. So you can tell me if it was or not! Phoebe Bridgers is one of my favorite artists and Punisher is easily in my top 10 albums of all time.
I probably could've made better covers of the songs individually and I probably would've only chosen a few to even cover at all. But doing this album in full was a cool experience and it made me be a little more relaxed during the recording, not having to worry about doing 100 takes to get the perfect one. That said, I didn't really know exactly what to say since I didn't prepare anything.
And in case you couldn't tell, I did everything except Savior Complex in one take! Anyway, if you appreciate what I've done here, let me know :) Good Night! - micky

I still can never decide if I prefer the version off the White Album or the Love version. The Love version is simply beautiful with just the acoustic, orchestration, and voice. But The Beatles together turned this into such an other worldly song.
Depends on the day I think honestly :P Today I went with the Love version! Enjoy "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" :) - Micky

Faust Arp, I think, is the most underrated song on the album. It has such odd rhythm and chord changes, but executes them all so seamlessly. The song is a little John Lennon-esque because of those things and also the one-note melody. Also the finger picking is reminiscent of a song like Dear Prudence.
Anyway that's all, enjoy guys :)

To me it's just perfect front to back and makes me feel so many positive and sad emotions all at once. Reckoner is my second favorite on the album, just after Nude. The instrumentation, the melody, the climax- everything about it is stunning. Decided to share some of my love for it with you guys today :D - micky

Hey everyone! This is "Almond Blossom"- one of the few love songs I've written. I think anyone who enjoys classic singer-songwriter style love songs will like this one. Or if you're in love. Or if you like my music. Or if you just like music in general.
It's off my album "Cassiopeia" that I released back in February. If you haven't checked that out yet please feel free to do so, link is right below :) - micky

Lyrics: When you're turned away There's nothing left to face But the silhouette that you create And maybe it's the tide That brings it all inside Or maybe it's the moonlight in your eyes See the world around you Doesn't move without you
When the waves of gold Are spilled across the floor And lines of joy are painted on your face It's something to behold The cheering birds agree And everything around is in it's place Everything around you Has a place around you
I went out yesterday I found the only thing I came for A needle in the hay I counted all the sand on the shore
Wishing on a garden Til the almonds blossom
There may be a time There's nothing left to find But we'll turn the world up on it's head And if we're getting tired And everything's on fire We'll just fall asleep until we're dead Like the leaves around us Dancing down to ashes
I looked up yesterday I counted all the stars I could find We made it to today Tomorrow we'll see what forever feels like
Wishing on a garden Where the almonds blossom
**Easter egg for anyone who went down this far: at 0:59 you can actually hear some birds chirping when I sing the line "the cheering birds agree"- pretty cute serendipitous moment! Comment "chirp" if you see this so I know who the real ones are ;)Ballad Of Big Nothing - Elliott Smith (Cover by Musogabi)Musogabi2024-06-15 | Hey everyone, today I'm covering one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums from one of my favorite artists, Elliott Smith's Ballad Of Big Nothing. This was requested by @greta5993 and I was more than happy to do it, so thank you! I wasn't sure if there were any Elliott fans active on my channel. Anyway if you haven't heard of him please go check him out- a good place to start would be his album "Either/Or", which has the song that I'm covering today.

The version I'm doing today though is Jeff Buckley's take on Nina Simone's version. So technically I'm doing a cover of a cover of a cover :D Anyway, Jeff Buckley is always hard to do justice, and no one can compare to him really. This is just my attempt at a passable recording of one of my favorite songs. Enjoy :)

This is Love Of My Life- such a beautiful song from arguably Queen's best album. This cover/arrangement is based on the live version that they always did, so it'll be a little different to the studio version
I'm outside again, but the location is not as beautiful as the alps. So maybe I'll beat some of the green screen allegations! Although I'm a Radiohead enjoyer I do in fact touch grass from time to time :D - micky

all my links: https://linktr.ee/musogabiNameless (Original Song)Musogabi2023-11-03 | Hi everyone! This is a song I wrote about my friend. I remember getting a call from them one night at 1am asking me to pick them up from the city. I went to go get them but that was the start of a very rough night for the both of us.
Anyway, with the emotions I felt from that night I ended up writing "Nameless". It comes out November 17th on all streaming platforms and I'm really excited to share my original music with you guys. Thank you so much :)
Lyrics: It's 1 in the morning but nothing's begun You called me and said you were over and done You're slurring your words and you say you need help Why do you always do this to yourself?
The dimly lit streets and the wine colored leaves Feel like a painting I never can dream Found you alone with that look on your face Don't turn around they're all laughing away
Why are you so dangerous? I know by the time that you hear all these lines you'll be nameless Is it all the drugs you do? Or is it just you? I know that was rude you know I can't blame you I'm just angry
The smell of the poison that you tried to hide Filled up the car with your shame-covered lies I open the window to let in some air You said something stupid i made you aware
The place we called home burned down in a big fire I climbed through the smoke and i made out alive I cleaned up the ashes and found you inside Lying there lifeless, no light in your eyes
Please don't sleep forever Don't you have a clue I can't live without you I'll be nameless 1, 2, 3, I'll close my eyes and you'll be gone soon It hurts me watching you
I've tried and I've tried, but im wasting my time I'll wait and I'll wait and I'll swallow my pride Til I realize that I can't change you
Pretty wildflower I watch as you grow from the pain ridden soil underneath me Spring is here again my dear we'll watch the world bloom And when it gets cold you'll have someone to hold when you're mourning
It's five in the morning there's nothing to do I called you to check you're alone in your room The sun's coming out and there's nothing to start Maybe I'll go to the neighborhood barMy Love Mine All Mine - Mitski (Cover by Musogabi)Musogabi2023-09-26 | Gather round friends Mitski just dropped!! This album is beautiful and My Love Mine All Mine is the most haunting song on it. Creep chord progression never fails I guess!
Also I'm at home now so I have my setup back! Even though I actually really liked having a different location for every video. Does it even matter? If you're reading this let me know which you prefer!
edit: just saw her show in new york and wow. what an experience. i love her

I bought the vinyl one day because I liked their other albums and I also knew Weird Fishes/ Arpeggi. I put the vinyl in the back of my car and put on a random song from the album on Spotify and it ended up being "Nude". As I was driving while listening to this beautiful song that I was hearing for the first time I looked out and saw a double rainbow. I pulled over at a gas station just to get out and admire it. It's kinda cheesy, but this was a pretty cool moment for me.
That said, when I got home and listened to the record, I didn't really get it. Even after a bunch of listens the songs never really clicked with me. But a year later the I finally understood the album and now I think every song on this thing is a masterpiece. Anyone who likes Radiohead knows how good this record is. If you don't, go listen :D
instagram: instagram.com/musogabi soundcloud: soundcloud.com/musogabi tiktok: tiktok.com/@musogabiBreak - Alex G (Cover by Musogabi)Musogabi2023-08-15 | An unreleased one by the great Alex G. His released stuff is excellent and better than his unreleased stuff imo, but I like seeing covers of unreleased songs since they aren't that widely accessible. So here's mine of Break!
instagram: instagram.com/musogabi soundcloud: soundcloud.com/musogabi tiktok: tiktok.com/@musogabithe way things go - beabadoobee (cover by Musogabi)Musogabi2023-08-07 | I was scared that beabadoobee wasn't gonna release this one because the live recordings of the way things go hit so hard before it was released, but she said it might be too personal to release.
The version that came out is pretty different to the slower and more stripped back arrangement it had originally, but I've grown to like how it sounds + the new lyrics.
Requested by @kevinwang1771I Bet On Losing Dogs - Mitski (Cover by Musogabi)Musogabi2023-07-06 | Back with Mitski, our favorite! I Bet On Losing Dogs is one of her most "pure-Mitski" songs. I don't know, it just has her signature guitar, sad/vivid lyrics, synths, and everything.
Also I'm not as emo as I look, the wind kept blowing my hair in my face and into my mouth. It was actually really annoying and I didn't do any more takes because of it!
I remember being absolutely mind-blown when I first heard the Titanic Rising album by Weyes Blood. It's honestly the most perfect blend of 70s and modern music I've heard. My favorite song on the album is A Lot's Gonna Change, but that one's not as coverable as Andromeda for me.
Always feel free to request music! I wanna know more of your guys' music taste
instagram: instagram.com/musogabi soundcloud: soundcloud.com/musogabi tiktok: tiktok.com/@musogabiDont Look Back In Anger - Oasis (cover by Musogabi)Musogabi2023-06-09 | I'm back singing another British anthem with Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis. I used to not really like Oasis, but I've come to appreciate them over the years.
I was a little nervous singing this one since I was at a park with people all around and I thought I might be disturbing the children and the elderly or something. But at the end of the video, I realize that a lady was watching me after she claps, and that's who I say thank you to!

I felt a strong urge to play Here Comes The Sun, a song by The Beatles that I don't listen to that much since I've already heard it so many times. But there's no denying that George Harrison (my favorite Beatle) wrote one of the best and happiest songs.
instagram: instagram.com/musogabi soundcloud: soundcloud.com/musogabi tiktok: tiktok.com/@musogabiSay It Aint So - Weezer (Cover by Musogabi)Musogabi2023-05-24 | I like Weezer and I'm not afraid anymore to say it! Say It Ain't So is a banger from the blue album and I tried to sing it in my van.
I honestly think I'll rerecord a better version of this in the future, but for now here it is.
Also Pinkerton is my favorite album from them so if you like Weezer I will gladly do more!
instagram: instagram.com/musogabi soundcloud: soundcloud.com/musogabi tiktok: tiktok.com/@musogabiWindows (original)Musogabi2023-04-23 | I'm in Australia on a working holiday right now and I had a gig at the cafe I'm actually working at! I played 8 of my original songs and I'm uploading this one, which is the most recent song I've written. The working title is "Windows," but I'm not sure if I'll stick with that.
I've never played a gig without a mic so it was interesting having to project my voice a little bit over everything, so my singing isn't as nuanced in this performance. The beautiful backdrop however, is the work/vision of my boss and friend, Byron
If you like this then feel free to check out some more of my originals (all of which are in demo form) on my bandcamp or soundcloud :)
Lyrics: Sky is falling on my face Windows getting smaller as they climb up into space People getting in my way "Wish they'd follow all the windows," that's what I used to stay
Send me all of the envy eating me up and spitting me out And I'll take it somewhere far Where all the others are
When I was 12 years old I saw that I couldn't see a thing So I spoke up after school and I asked her everything Went all around the world to find all the things I couldn't do And I made up all the years from when I couldn't see a thing
Pages falling off the wall Anything to pass the time, I'll read them one by one Stacking rocks behind it all Sky is clearing up again, I can see it clear and tall
All the light on the ground falls into a line and opens for me And it takes me somewhere far Where all the others are
When I was 12 years old I saw that I couldn't see a thing So I spoke up after school and I asked her everything Went all around the world to find all the things I couldn't do And I made up all the years from when I couldn't see a thing
Went all around the world to see all the things that I could do And I made up all the years from when I couldn't see a thingFor Lovers / 恋人へ - Lamp (cover by Musogabi)Musogabi2023-04-10 | Lamp! For Lovers from their album "For Lovers". If you don't know it, I highly highly highly suggest that you go listen to it because it's a beautiful work of indie/alternative/jazz/pop.
This is the shortest one but it's still as beautiful if not more than the other songs on the album. HIROGARU-NAMIDA is my favorite, if you need a place to start.
My favorite Phoebe Bridgers song. But honestly I love all of them, which is why I decided to cover the whole Punisher album. Savior Complex has a special place in my heart because it's what truly made me fall in love in Phoebe's music.
If you're a pharb or you just like her music, please stick around on the channel because I assume you have good taste
instagram: instagram.com/musogabi soundcloud: soundcloud.com/musogabi tiktok: tiktok.com/@musogabiShe - CoverMusogabi2023-03-06 | There are lots of songs called "She" (like the Tyler, The Creator one or the Harry Styles one), so you would think that this would be the video to put the artist's name in the title. But, no, I left it a little ambiguous because I think this is one of those songs that doesn't need to be attached to any artist.
The music to this song was written by Charles Aznavour and translated into 4 billion different languages. I really like Elvis Costello's version and his is the one that got me into this song.
I'm in Australia right now and it's the wet season so it just about rains every day. I thought the rain would be annoying for recording these, but I've come to find that it adds a nice and relaxing atmosphere.
Also because I'm travelling I had to get this cheap crappy guitar so bear with me. Anyway, good night!

I thought with the beautiful imagery in this song that being outside would be fitting for this cover. Now you have the privilege of seeing the unreal view that I get to see here in the Alps.
One thing is that my hands, my face, and everything were freezing so this was a fun little challenge! Luckily though I had my trusty hand warmer :)

I love how stripped back the verse is with just her smooth vocals and the bass, followed by the organ and the other instruments kicking in for that incredible chorus.
I wanted to cover this song 2 years ago, but I could never get a take I liked because I still wasn't that good at singing. I hope you appreciate my attempt at covering an artist as daunting as Mitski
Also, if you haven't already, I'd appreciate it if you would check out my full album cover of Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers, I worked hard on it :)

Here, There, and Everywhere is my favorite Beatles song. The chord progression, the harmonies, and the thematic lyrics are just so perfect. One of those songs that have a melody that is unmatched by most other ones.
This also became my mom's favorite Beatles song after I showed it to her. We were on a weekend trip together and she's sitting next to me through the whole thing. At some point in the video she gets up to turn the outside light on for my video :P
