it was funny, i was asking my singer for “songs for heartbreak” whether she could cover this
and she said “she can’t relate to this kind of indie alternative music”. i told her the song is by leonard cohen and covered by tones of other singers, including the late jeff buckley in this definitive version.

suddenly, it dawn on me that i could do an audiophile album for alternative music, in a minimalist style like what jeff buckley done in “hallelujah”! wow! that would be terminally cool!

all at once, these songs came to mind:

1) radiohead “high and dry”
2) the verve “the drugs don’t work”
3) new order “bizarre love triangle”
4) the cure “friday i am in love” (katie melua did a jazzy version of it!)
5) jeff buckley “hallelujah”
6) coldplay “yellow”
7) damien rice “the blower’s daugther”
8) jesus and mary chain “about you”
8) and many others of similar genre

and the greatest thing is – i have already a male singer in mind! this guy used to imitate robert smith (the lead singer of the cure) like no others and he is a great indie singer….. i am sure he would agree to do an album like this!

an alternative album recorded in an audiophile manner, this must be a breakthru!
