Gorran Kendall - Someone Great (LCD Soundsystem) live cover

For the release of my Debut EP "After Hours" I played my first headline gig at The Folklore Rooms in Brighton on the 9th of March back in 2022, featuring two special guests of mine Georgia Hazelgrove and Julia Traser. I was so thrilled to fill out such a lovely intimate venue which was just the perfect space for me and my music, bringing the busking (very off the cuff) spirit to the Stage :D
In this video I'm playing a cover of Someone Great, an incredible song by a band I highly rate and respect; LCD Soundsystem. I've always loved the lyrics in these songs, and felt the writing stood just as easily on it's own with a simple acoustic guitar.
You can listen to my EP "After Hours" on Spotify (link in the comments below).

My debut EP After Hours is available on CD and I must say contains some rather lovely artwork I'm fairly proud of! I'm shipping internationally, however, I have run out of stock and am working on a new system for selling the CD's at the moment (my oldest friend since happy childhood days is going to post them for me because I'm in Spain!). So there's a bit of a wait on that whilst I get some more in.. If you would like to support me and my music by purchasing a copy then send me an email at [e-mail] I will contact you once the CD's are ready to be shipped! (a few weeks and yes my email has only one R in it) All of the money from CD sales is going towards getting back in the studio and recording some new music when I'm back in a few months! I don't currently make money from this YT account, so here's a virtual guitarcase if you wanna stick a coin or two in there =] www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T3VTAANF6X7UG

I had my last therapy session last week. My therapist didn't die, we just agreed that the path I was on didn't need that kind of counseling anymore. Today was the first Thursday in years I haven't had a session scheduled with them. It's feels so bittersweet to miss them and their advice but to also know that I can care for myself in those ways now thanks to them. "I wish that we could talk about it, but there, that's the problem."

[@GorranKendall]

sounds like you're ready to walk your path though man! I can imagine it's quite mad, but i bet you'll be amazing!

[@carlahelin5203]

Just gave the original a listen. It’s good but love your version so much better. ❤❤❤. You really made this your own, turning it into a much more sitting at a coffeehouse folksy style. 🥰

So lovely to hear something so reminiscent of the singer/songwriter tradition🌻

[@GorranKendall]

Epic! That's my whole vibe, thankyou!❤

[@SCash-rl5ee]

I totally agree. I was listening to his songs on Spotify yesterday after the live and some of the songs had a vibe that made me think of early Kenny Loggins as well as Dan Fogelberg.

I discovered you through Ren through your band. But what I hadn't anticipated is that the rest of you also would be so talented and charismatic. Big Push is my favorite band.

Thank you for sharing such an incredibly moving piece of you with us all. Even people here in Canada have been begging to have something from you! You have more fans than you can imagine. Your sound is absolutely timeless. You're right there with Gord Downey, Jeff Buckley, Eric Clapton.

You know the music is just *good* when it imbeds itself into your bones and lights up your soul. And suddenly you feel inspired to do the things you’ve been scared to do. Your voice is so gorgeous, Gorran. The original song is beautiful and you’ve absolutely done it justice. I absolutely love your tone and the strength behind it. Soft and strong all at once. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can’t wait for the original song premiere next week. ❤❤❤ Best and love until then!

I do not know the original version, but I so much agree with what you say here, particularly about Gorrans voice, so expressive.

[@StevieGasko]

@@GrahamDixonUK The original is EDM, upbeat dance music juxtaposed with these lyrics. Gorran honored the lyrics with this soulful delivery. I especially loved the emotions carried in the repeated “When someone great is gone” part. ❤❤❤

​@@GorranKendallI think more and more of us are trying to cobble together "strange little lives" so maybe that's a part of what will be a special "draw" for people about you - some folks need encouragement, need to see how making a life that suits you even if it's unorthodox, can be done.

​@@GorranKendall You were right, it is great! The original always caught me off guard because it's so catchy and has such a pretty sound, but is so melancholy when you really listen to it. The stripped-back purity of yours emphasises that in the nicest way, and makes them feel completely different. Love the video too, it has such a timelessly folky vibe that it feels nostalgic even though we're seeing it for the first time. Really glad you're releasing the stuff that hasn't had a chance to shine.

[@bethstratton3391]

I love this Gorran, your cover is so lilting and full of open space for thought. This song it is a classic told in the most simple way. The loss of someone we love sung out through the beauty of folk. How the grief is simple, yet unfamiliar and unexpected even when we know or suspect it’s coming. Plus, the way we can’t say all the things we want to before it’s too late because we operate in a familiar pattern of communication and to break that by discussing the inevitable seems too difficult a conversation to begin. So when the final parting comes everything around us seems to go on as normal in an everyday fashion, even the weather and the smooth taste of coffee. Yet, we know inside everything has changed in that moment and a new normal will take time to arrive. Yet, in the interim as we discuss the person we’ve lost with others we can never quite capture their true essence. We either make their existence larger in death than it was in life, or their lives and stature seem diminished by the telling of our relationship with them through fragmented snipers and half told stories.

@@GorranKendall it's a crime that The Hip aren't better known outside Canada. An earlier hit was Little Bones; other big ones are New Orleans Is Sinking, a gorgeous ballad called Bobcaygeon (the Anishinaabe name of a small town in Ontario), Ahead by a Century, At the Hundredth Meridian, and dozens of other faves. Their final concert in 2016 was live broadcast on Canadian TV, and was watched by a third of the entire country.
