Well , the title says it all.

Here’s a quick 1 take cover of Helpless, recorded this afternoon sitting at my kitchen bench.

Nothing fancy, just recorded straight onto my iPhone.

That was really pretty, Rod. I maybe would like to attempt that. Any pointers on where to go to learn it? You did such a good job on it. Keep it up!

Nice work Rod. These keep it simple impromtu recordings are often some of the best. And its easy to go down the rabbit holes of trying to get perfect sound and levels and eq etc etc.

Great work :+1: you’ve inspired me :+1:
