Well hey there, I'm Lauren and I sometimes sing a little. This is my blog to prove that.

Vocal and guitar cover of At Least It Was Here by The 88 (or you may know it as the music from Community)

As usual, Sam is playing guitar because he’s fab and I’m abusing your eardrums with vocals, because I’m lovely like that. 

This is for Claire and Rhys; Claire because she’s the Abed to my Troy, and Rhys because he’s the one that got me into Community in the first place. Also because they asked me to and I’m scared they’ll throw things at me if I didn’t do it.

Me doing a vocal cover of Father’s Day, with my wonderful boyfriend Sam playing guitar.

(We recorded the tracks separately and had a bit of trouble getting the timing right when putting them together, so sorry if it’s a bit off in place or through the whole thing!)

Vocal and guitar cover of Peggy Sang the Blues by Frank Turner.

I’m spoiling you today with these covers (or ruining your eardrums, whatever one you choose). Sorry for the spazzing around at the start and the weird faces from us both.

A note from Sam: I’m not using my nice, new Faith guitar and this one hurts my fingers. :(

Vocal cover of Hero Of War by Rise Against.

Sorry for the bad note towards the end, I tried a few times and I failed a few times, so fuck it :-)

This cover will always have a place in my heart, it was the first time that a certain person's family heard me sing - even if I didn't know about it at the time - and it gave me a massive confidence boost to hear that they liked the way that I sing this song. For that reason, among a few others, this will forever be one of my favourites.

Hey!

So I've started this little blog here as a place to store all my covers, and eventually I'll post some new ones too.

Am I excited? Just a bit. This is big step for me, go back a year and I could barely sing in front of anyone, let alone let the internet hear me.
