“Indecision” (Steven Page acoustic cover song) – The Laptop Sessions
Monday, July 26th, 2010
By Chris Moore:
As is our way around here at the Laptop Sessions, I’ve decided to celebrate the release of a new track with an acoustic cover song music video.
Big surprise given the title of our blog, eh?
Well, tonight I bring you my performance of Steven Page’s forthcoming single “Indecision” off his first solo album proper: Page One (pun intended, I’m sure!), due out September 28th. He just announced the title and track listing yesterday, and I was able to find a live performance on YouTube that sounded like classic Steven Page. It was somewhat difficult to hear the intricacies of the vocals and guitars over the drum sound — due to the quality of the recording — but I have a feeling that the actual studio recording is going to be great.
And I only have to wait a day to find out!
That’s right; I hurried to record this version of the song as a means of honoring and advertising the new release. I’m hoping you’ll like my take on the song enough to click over to iTunes tomorrow and download this track. I’ll be there. Probably at midnight just in case it’s up immediately…
One of the main reasons I took the time today to figure out the chords and lyrics is that I can think of no better way, as a musician and singer/songwriter myself, of enjoying a great new song than learning the words and chords to be able to play along with it.
So, without further ado, I give you my take on this new Steven Page track. I hope this is incentive enough for you to check out the real deal tomorrow, and the full album in a couple months…
See you next session!

“Lightning Crashes” (Live Acoustic Cover) – The Laptop Sessions

Good evening and I hope this past Tuesday has found you well. Tonight I add another new band to the category page here on our awesome site.
“Live” is our focus this evening, and one of their hit songs “Lightning Crashes” is the video tonight. I had attempted to record this video last Friday, but my voice was shot from the previous video I had recorded (which some person on Youtube rated 1 star – to my bewilderment). Therefore, here’s what I was able to get out of me this evening.
The song is off the album “Throwing Copper”, which I happily own. I do own albums 2 through 5 from this band, and the album tonight’s song is from was the first one I bought. I remember burning a copy for my car, and writing on the blank CD the letters “Cu” with some trail marks behind it.
…I’ll give some of you a second or two on that one…
This isn’t my best, or worst performance. I’ve had a tough month, so I apologize if it isn’t my best. However, it works and it goes to show that I continue to have a penchant for recording 5 minute songs (tends to get frustrating doing retakes for long songs like this).
Tomorrow Jim will show us what he’s got in his library! I can’t wait!
