Synthia Sensate

Runaround Sue - Dion Cover

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:37:58 +0000

Ah, this is an oldie but certainly a goodie.

Keeping Warm Is Hard To Do

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:34:43 +0000

Winter is upon us and I feel now is the time when I must get things done before hibernation. Collect the nuts and berries, that sort of thing.

Rebel Girl - Bikini Kill Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 06:40:55 +0000

Well I couldn’t decide if I wanted to cover “Sugar” or “Rebel Girl” but I opted for RG because I figured anyone who didn’t know Bikini Kill or myself would not get it. Even though it’s a great song. This one is too.

It’s Been A Long Time

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 06:30:09 +0000

It has been a long time. This is one project that I want to work on every day but I have so many other projects that take more priority. But there’s many songs I love and many songs I have yet to cover….keep tuned please.

Mr. Lonely - Bobby Vinton Cover

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:18:07 +0000

I made the Wed. mark! This song had been in my head for awhile, probably since I saw H. Korine’s “Mister Lonely”…I just cant pass up a song about loneliness and isolation, especially when it’s so dreamy and pretty. Why did Akon have to ruin a pretty thing?

Time Keeps On Ticking…

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:11:40 +0000

…Into the future….

Dont Stop - InnerPartySystem Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 06:33:18 +0000

Wow, it’s been over a month since I’ve last posted a cover. The whole time I was antsy to record some new covers but was just busy. Hey, it happens. It’s hard to do a cover a day, really it is, believe it or not.
Anyhow, this is a cover of a ‘hot’ new band out and about, they have a really cool Video Remixer for users to create their own video/audio remix (for all you people who fancy yourself a DJ like I do) of this song which you should really check out HERE .
Rock on, more covers to come…one at least by Wed. At least!

Back In Black

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 06:27:04 +0000

Gone away from the blog, and what are you going to do? Do you remember writing letters? Paper and pen style? I used to write letters my whole childhood and teens to connect with people and now it’s a whole different ball game but what a ball game it is and I dont even like sports. Now I’m back. It’s hard to maintain. Really.

All Out Of Love - Air Supply Cover

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 06:04:40 +0000

Wow, this cover is so old. I dont even know if I should post it, but what the heck, I dont have any new covers and I’ve been slow with posting….so, I hope your ears dont bleed.

Kill The Fear

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 05:57:42 +0000

I have alot of fear. It is true. Sometimes it gets so overwhelming that I really dont even want to do anything but run and hide. I guess we must try.

Blonde On Blonde - Nada Surf Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:33:32 +0000

A song about our sweet personal music players and Bob Dylan. Hallelujah!

Pain In Me Gulliver’s Travels

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:27:15 +0000

I dont know where to begin, everything in this world is a sin. And we are here for some reason or not, and we waste over 20 years starting to realize the evolution of not.

Staying Alive - the Bee Gee’s Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 22:48:19 +0000

Sort of an old one…the cover I mean. Whether you’re a brother, or whether you’re a mother…but not if you’re a sister…

Get Me Some Fast Food

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 22:44:58 +0000

And make it fast, I dont got time to turn on the oven before my hunger fasts. This doesn’t make much sense, and I guess I dont care, because Saturdays are for doing nothing, and I’m doing nothing….ok?

Young Bride - Midlake Cover

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:42:41 +0000

A new cover. I feel like my voice wasn’t quite on key here, but I really like the song (I think by now it’s obvious that I like every song that I cover. I dont know why I keep saying that!). The ‘guits go crazy on this one as well.

Parking Tickets

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:30:30 +0000

I got a parking ticket again, just when I do not need to spend additional money on anything! It was really upsetting, but when can you do except pay and move on? I was trying to justify it with the laws of karma, maybe since I downloaded some songs on the internet for free….maybe I’m paying back the universe….or…..you know….yah, I dont know. Parking tickets suck.

You Got Me All Wrong - Dios (Malos) Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 05:59:24 +0000

Finally a newly recorded cover! This is by a very fantastic band that used to go by just ‘Dios’ but now goes by ‘Dios (Malos)’. And no, I dont know what that means because I’m stupid and too lazy to find out.

Get Into the Office

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 05:54:28 +0000

Do the job that you said you’d never do, clean your sports jacket, your khakis and shoes. We got alot of bills to pay, sometimes life isn’t fair and it doesn’t go your way. I’ve been paying dues for nearly 10 years, sometimes it’s really all pointless even in you conquer your fears.

Time Of The Season - the Zombies Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:50:17 +0000

I’m not as pleased with this cover but I actually covered this song a long time ago with a way better version, but now I cant find it. Anyway, this is a placeholder for new songs I’m in the process of recording. But, anyway, the original of course is a classic and it’s one of my favorites to cover.

I’ve Got Nothing To Say

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:34:42 +0000

Generally I’ve some quite good quips about me, but no pen or mental-lock memory. So for today, I give you nothing, and tommorrow something out of my mouth better be divine.

It’s Over - Roy Orbison Cover

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:09:42 +0000

I did this cover probably near the end of last year…I cant remember exactly when but it was way before I decided to make this website. A bit shaky but at least I hit the right notes near the end.

Monday Monday

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:03:10 +0000

I was watching a show about past life regression yesterday and it was really interesting. It made me want to go get hypnotized and see who I might have been before this life. Too bad it costs so much money to get hypnotized.

It’s Raining Men - the Weather Girls Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:59:35 +0000

Another old cover. I had alot of fun covering this song. I cant believe I haven’t attempted any Pointer Sisters yet.

Crappy Television Shows

Synthia Sensate — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:44:29 +0000

I do watch alot of television. Alot. Mostly a bunch of crap. But then there are shows below the grade A crap that even I cant watch. And if I try to watch it I realize that I just cant sit through a minute of it. Same thing with movies.

We Didn’t Start The Fire - Billy Joel Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:28:51 +0000

This cover is probably at least 5 years old but oh well. This song’s not so easy to sing but it’s fun to try.

Do Some Research

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:23:10 +0000

The internet is a sort for many fine things, then it’s also a sort for some declining. Our brain cells die anyway.

The New - Interpol Cover

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:25:02 +0000

Well, this song isn’t quite that new anymore is it? But this is a newer cover for me, so enjoy!

You Cant Make People Care If They Dont

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:12:27 +0000

Perhaps the saddest realization in this existance of life that one can discover is that you can not make another person care about you or anything else if they dont. No matter how loud you scream, no matter how much you talk, if the people you want to look at you dont want to look at you, then you’re all out of luck.
Knowing people is far more lonely then not knowing people at all.

St. James Infirmiry - Louis Armstrong Cover

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:49:27 +0000

This one is a few years old, but oh well.

What The World Needs Now…

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:30:58 +0000

Is love sweet love, that’s the only thing, that there’s just not enough of….

Doctor Blind - Emily Haines Cover

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:57:45 +0000

Ah Metric is a very good band and Emily writes some great songs. Check both out.

If It Aint Broke, Dont

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:53:39 +0000

I guess if the old is as good as the new, there’s no reason for any sort of move, but if the good is as bad as the good, then maybe we could.

Nights In White Satin - The Moody Blues Cover

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:05:47 +0000

Another old cover, hopefully I’ll have some new ones real real soon!

It’s Getting Crazy

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:00:54 +0000

Bam, bam, it hits you all at once, then you switch to your advance, and realize that maybe you can do it, if you keep collaborated, and you stop, drop and roll.

We Are the Champions - Queen Cover

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:04:54 +0000

Another old cover, this is like 5 years ago? I’m working on getting some newbies soon, just got super busy.

Say It Before We’re Dead

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:50:22 +0000

Got something to say to me? Say it before we die. You never know when that might be. So say it NOW. Right now. Dont hold it in.

Everything Goes - Club 8 Cover

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 22:30:47 +0000

A new one! Woo hoo! Club 8 make such pretty, quiet music. Check them out if you haven’t already.

David The Dog

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 22:20:00 +0000

I had a dream about a dog named David last night. It was very interesting. He was a German Shepard mix. Black and some brown underneath. No, he didn’t talk or anything special like that, he was just a dog. And I had to feed him special food. And his name was David, but I’m not sure why. And then after that I was stuck in the middle of this industrial part of town, someone said it was Brooklyn but it looked like another country. I didn’t have enough money for the train.

Wicked Game - Chris Isaak Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:25:24 +0000

Another old one but I was happy with my guitar on this one. Thanks to Absolom for the suggestion of keeping it analog, I first started this blog off with the intentions to do all covers all electronically but even I grew tired of that so now I’m going to mix it up. I generally play guitar more then keyboard anyway….

How Are We Doing?

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:20:27 +0000

I dont know, I wouldn’t know because I never hear about it.

These Boots Are Made For Walking - Nancy Sinatra Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:54:14 +0000

Wow, this cover is actually years old. Since it’s pretty time consuming trying to do at least one cover a day, I’m going to have to go back into my cover archive and post some covers I did literally 4-5 years ago (actually maybe even 6, time/life escapes me often).

Get Your Junk Under Control

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:46:33 +0000

And I dont mean that junk in the trunk, I mean your junk in general. My junk resides in my mind mainly, then to the butt. So there’s alot to sweat out.

Silence - PJ Harvey Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 19:45:55 +0000

I’ve been listening to “White Chalk” so much lately…boy is it a great album. I got it when it came out but only really listened to “The Devil” but now I’m enjoying much of the rest of the album. Good lyrics and a pull for something original get me everytime. Go PJ!

Butter Pecan Cake

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 19:36:28 +0000

No, I didn’t just make a cake, but I could…although it wouldn’t be butter pecan, it would be pure chocolate! I need a job.

Breathe Me - Sia Cover

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:31:02 +0000

Sia has such a unique and pretty voice that covering her, well it’s not that easy to do. So the result ends up more karaoke then an ode, but here ya go!

If You Dont Care

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:00:16 +0000

I cant really do much to make you care if you dont really care. I would love for you to care, but if you dont I cant make you. But please just dont act like you care if you really dont.

Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:54:35 +0000

Here is my first cover request, from Mr. Isola Todd! Thanks for the suggestion, this is of course a classic song that I really enjoyed covering. Love will tear us apart but it will also put us back together.

Memorialize Your Fruit Punch

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:37:34 +0000

Did everyone have a good Memorial Day? Any holiday is a good holiday right?

Dandelion - Nicole Richie/LFO Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sun, 25 May 2008 19:09:06 +0000

Yes, you read correctly, it says “Nicole Richie” in the header. Apperently she covered a song from a boy band of the late ’90’s (LFO, which I think I have actually seen live when I was forced back in ‘98 to go to something in scary Disney world called “Sky Walk” or “City Walk”….I dont remember….I was hovering in someone’s armpit the whole time). Well low and behold, I actually liked this song when I heard it. So all credit due to whoever wrote this song, and if it were indeed someone actually in LFO, congrats on actually attempting to put in some thoughtful metaphor in a pop song.

Keep Bleeding Love, Then Shut Up

Synthia Sensate — Sun, 25 May 2008 18:57:03 +0000

How can the general public enjoy most of the music on the radio? Really? I’ve been asking myself that question so many times, I can never find a conclusive answer, except that the general American public will buy into anything. Due to a busted cassette player in my car, I am forced to listen to the radio (or enjoy the silence if not) while driving. I’m literally changing station to station at least every 30 seconds.

Maniac - Michael Sembello Cover

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 23 May 2008 20:33:30 +0000

Classic song, and apparently written about a serial killer. Iif you Wiki the orgin of this song, the lyrics were originally-

He’s a maniac, maniac that’s for sure,
He will kill your cat and nail him to the door.

It All Works Out, Usually

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 23 May 2008 20:24:47 +0000

Sometimes when things are painful and you dont understand why you could be possibly going through them, they really are blessings in disguise.

Valerie Loves Me - Material Issue Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 20 May 2008 05:29:33 +0000

Maybe she does. A good song.

Time Heals All

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 20 May 2008 05:22:02 +0000

So if this sadness doesn’t leave, I know at least at some point it will ease.

Love Me 2 Times - the Doors Cover

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 19 May 2008 06:48:06 +0000

Love me 2 times, I’m gone away.

Brokenhearted, Spirit Crushed

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 19 May 2008 06:37:39 +0000

And you dont seem to care one little bit, but here I am in saddness and all I can do is sit. This time it runs fast, and the clock will keep on ticking, but if this doesn’t mean anything to you then please stop the kicking.

Swinging London - the Magnetic Fields Cover

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 16 May 2008 02:38:11 +0000

The Magnetic Fields pull me in.

Let’s Make A Box Out Of Popsicle Sticks

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 16 May 2008 02:34:02 +0000

There’s not much to say except that saying alot doesn’t say anything at all.

Strange And Beautiful - Aqualung Cover

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:08:37 +0000

It’s weird because I didn’t know much about this musician before I covered this song, but I really love this song.

Do You Do A Diggery Do

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:04:07 +0000

I have nothing to really say right now, besides the fact that I hope you are happy. And I mean that for real.

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 13 May 2008 05:18:40 +0000

Yah, well the original is classic but no harm in trying!

Going Nowhere, Going Somewhere

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 13 May 2008 04:44:09 +0000

I hope and I dream and I pray and I hope and I dream and I pray.

She’s Like A Rainbow - the Rolling Stones Cover

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 12 May 2008 01:11:32 +0000

Ah this one just didn’t work out right. I dont know what happened to the keyboard part, or why I couldn’t get the singing part straight…it just didn’t want to combine. But I figure rainbows flow everywhere right?

Highway to the Danger Zone

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 12 May 2008 01:07:04 +0000

There are things that I obviously dont want to do when I think some harm will come my way….so I stay away. I dont like putting myself out there but I dont like sitting around wasting away.

Jed’s Other Poem - Grandaddy Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 10 May 2008 19:21:09 +0000

Dont do it!

If You Read More Into It

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 10 May 2008 19:11:37 +0000

Well, it’s been in front of your face this whole time, but you’ve been drunk on your power served with your wine. I am the cracker you put your cheese on, but eventually I will break and it wont be long.

Violet Hill - Coldplay Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 06 May 2008 02:13:22 +0000

I really liked their new song so here’s a new spin on it.

Words Hurt Longer Then A Bruise

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 06 May 2008 02:02:12 +0000

I recently heard that on a talk show recently and I really liked it. What truth that is.

You Got Yr Cherry Bomb - Spoon Cover

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 05 May 2008 01:39:59 +0000

Blow out that cherry bomb, for me.

Noogie Houser M.C.

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 05 May 2008 00:50:47 +0000

Well, it’s Sunday. It’s Sunday and there’s really not much to say. Except that it’s Sunday.

I Drove All Night - Roy Orbison Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sun, 04 May 2008 05:38:46 +0000

This one just didn’t work out as well as some others, and then I got lazy with just re-recording the vocals and adjusting the effects levels. But maybe if you’re half asleep this will help you fall right to sleep.

Blue Sunday and a Monday

Synthia Sensate — Sun, 04 May 2008 05:30:12 +0000

I think I will be just as dissapointed as I usually am, but then if you have that attitude does that mean you will jinx yourself?

Cut The Mullet - Wesley Willis Cover

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 02 May 2008 06:28:34 +0000

A gem of a song. I dont think I quite do it justice.

I’m Sick of Being Poor, I’m Sick of Being Rich

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 02 May 2008 06:25:20 +0000

I’m sick of being poor, but it probably wouldn’t make much difference if I were rich. There would be something to complain about and an anchor would still fish. Grass is always greener and we’re always stuck in this ditch.

Sweet Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac Cover

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 01 May 2008 16:48:02 +0000

Yah, I could have covered something from “Tusk” but I’m just not that hip today.

Does Anybody Care Now?

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 01 May 2008 16:39:04 +0000

When you ask that question, you must ask it with alot of vigor. Because the reply you’ll get will most likely not be considered.

Exit Music (For A Film) - Radiohead Cover

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:05:48 +0000

I love harpsichord.

Roses Are Red, I Am Blue

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:54:42 +0000

Essential to living is an ultimate dream. Sometimes things are not what they seem. You must keep it alive in order to feed it, but you may live a whole life before you see it.

Fearless Heart - Steve Earle Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:05:24 +0000

I’m not sure I really have a fearless heart but I’m ready to give it a try.

System Of A Down-Syndrome

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:56:12 +0000

I’m not feeling all to productive these days. I just want to curl up in bed for a few weeks and then deal with things. But that’s not possible right?

Bone Machine - the Pixies Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 04:10:42 +0000

You buy me a soda. But really I wanted an ice cream cone.

Generic Genetically Engineered Food

Synthia Sensate — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 04:06:07 +0000

Rubbing my belly from the sweetest taste! Sugar and chemicals have they got laced! Up something special, you know it’s the same. You put it in your body and never feel tame. Whip it in your stomach, and feel it in your head, it’s ok to eat what you want because everyone will be dead.

(Goonies R) Good Enough - Cyndi Lauper Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 05:13:14 +0000

Those darn old-fashioned superstitions get me every time!

Saving Private Benjamin Ryan

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 05:06:51 +0000

The world is spinning around on it’s Axl Rose and everyone feels a little bit off. It really doesn’t make sense to use a broom for a mop. If you dont realize the potential that you have, I dont know how to make it any clearer then to put it on your tab.

Beetlebum - Blur Cover

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:51:17 +0000

Now what you’ve done, beetlebum?

It’s Getting Hot In Here

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:47:51 +0000

It is finally summer. Finally. I’m throwing out all of my winter clothes, out the window they go! Not literally of course though, since I’m poor and have no money. They would be plain stupid.

Stand By Your Man - Tammy Wynette Cover

Synthia Sensate — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:42:31 +0000

After all, he’s just a man.

Sing, Sing a Song

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:51:47 +0000

Well I have no idea what the whole point to doing cover after cover after cover is, but I do know it’s alot of fun and since I love the original songs so much, it’s fun to have my own take on them. I hope that whomever finds this website will enjoy them too.

Young Folks - Peter, Bjorn and John Cover

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:51:03 +0000

It’s been one of those days.

I Killed Off That Box Of…

Synthia Sensate — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:48:37 +0000

I toasted the remainder of the toast, and I buttered my head, then I got in my car and headed east until I remember something you had said. You said that maybe things would look up, and if I didn’t get discouraged then maybe I would have better luck. And then I realized that when I talk to myself, maybe I should listen.

Beat It - Michael Jackson Cover

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:55:11 +0000

Because “Thriller” is over-rated.

It Will Be Ok

Synthia Sensate — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:43:51 +0000

Boy, I certainly hope it will. That’s the interesting thing with life, most of the time it just feels completely hopeless, but there is always some hope to hold onto. Because really, what else can you do?

Range Life - Pavement Cover

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 21:09:02 +0000

Stone Temple Pilots are definitly eloquent bachelors now that they are in Velvet Revolver.

Today Is The Same Day

Synthia Sensate — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:55:05 +0000

I was just thinking about time. It’s a weird thing. About as weird as almost everything on this planet.

I Just Called (To Say) - Stevie Wonder Cover

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:57:51 +0000

I did just call you to tell you that I love you and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

The Problem With These Celebrities…

Synthia Sensate — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:45:00 +0000

And by celebrities I’m not talking about people like Dustin Diamond….I’m talking more along the lines of J-Lo. The problem with them is that they have so much money that they dont know what to do with it so they literally rip it up in front of the ‘working man’s’ face everyday by blowing it on thousand dollar handbags and cars that they never drive….what’s more unbelievable about the whole charade is that the ‘working man’ actually generally supports these ‘artists’ by funding them! So I guess the problem is everyone.

Do You Realize? - Flaming Lips Cover

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:12:59 +0000

This one got kind of messed up because the original sound deleted itself and I was left with it’s ghost. Also, sometimes when you are getting guitar tabs from the internet….they are widely incorrect. But…well keeping in the spirits of what playing music and covers is all about, here’s a shorty version. Oh yah, and it’s levels are hot as hell so turn down or have your eardrums bust through your skin.

Platinum In Pocket

Synthia Sensate — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:30:44 +0000

Do not spend what you do not have. Do not spend when you dont know what to do with what you have. Do not spend when you could spend your time doing something else.
