Title: Where would you post a take-off of a cover?
Post by: crystalsuzy on November 23, 2021, 09:50:49 AM

Hi all,
I was just wondering where to post a take off on a cover song? The lyrics are original, but the music isn't so I don't know if I
should share it in originals or not  :)

Actually I was thinking of doing the same with an old favourite of mine

My lyrics
but musically (mostly) it's a Cohen song.

the purists might go mental but that's not my pwoblem. lol!

As the Sheriff round here....it is fine to post adaptations of covers in the main finished songs section if it has original elements - eg new vocals or music

Pure covers can be posted here in the Bar if you want to share them
