This is a rough demo on the baritone ukulele. All rough demos are indemnified fully for lack of quality and any legal responsibility for said failings rests with 3rd parties and previous listed agents and institutions. As we close the door on one home more Are you tired of my restlessness? I said hate these streets of drunks and thieves And it’s the worst of them have most respect I do not beli...

Lord it is so long since I've played baritone ukulele, that my fingers barely move properly. Needless to say a rough and read demo, written this morn, not finished in any sense.

This is a new version of a song from a while back. It is also a clue as to my destination after 6 months of pandemic induced wandering. Performed on the baritone ukulele.

3rd in the series of lockdown crude demos (1 and 2 are private again as will this one soon). In my defence I only have the onboard laptop mic and a toy guitar.

A demo. we’d been feeling sleep deprived And I thought oh Lord how did I get here? and there’s the little matter of my pride The books the names that disappeared keep a journal of your dreams for your first sonnet pick a theme And I thought oh lord how deathly boring And oh I took a bus away someplace Cows they grazed and country blurred But where I got I could not say And when I spoke nobody h...
The Ruse

A rough demo. garretbakermusic I have tweaked the lyrics on this one recently. The new version is pasted below. The Ruse All save the last Of these listless years Where I have felt so lost Now there’s a plot Plans to make And my old pains Somehow are mitigated My old faults Seem almost part of a plan My stumbling falls So I could somehow land In Heuston station On a winter’s eve Pa...
Really cool. Struggle to find dark and light performances like this these days
Hi Daniel. Thanks!
Listened to every single track - Wow. Thank you so much for creating this music over the years.@@garretbakermusic
That's very nice of you. You're definitely one of the select few, but it's much appreciated!@@danielbottomleyIOM
It sounds like only a select few have had the pleasure/luck to have heard this collection. I stumbled across the 'October' cover and went from there. If I knew how to promote music, I would share this with the world.@@garretbakermusic
here again
beautiful
Beautiful 🖤
Finally , I remembered your name after years of trying to remember..
That's okay. I barely remember myself these days.
@@garretbakermusic takecare fam. sendin luvs.
You are honestly amazing♡
Whilst that is not true, it's very kind of you to say. Thanks!
This is awesome...
Thanks!
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
I was listening to Alexi Murdoch Blue Mind and it reminded me of your style. I still miss those old YT bari videos old friend.
Hey. Here's One. th-cam.com/video/03t8wUnUwk4/w-d-xo.html The trouble about them, and why I either privatised or deleted them is because I would write them and record them and upload them in one day, and used youtube as a kind of demo depository. As a result the lyrics, or melody, or both, just aren't up to scratch. Also, unfortunately, I have a wondering eye for instruments. I've played guitar, tenor uke, baritone uke, soprano uke, tenor guitar, banjo, charango, piano, and lord knows what else. Master of none. Something I still love about the tone of the baritone uke though, and hopefully will write, and properly finish, more on it one day.
Garret - thanks so much for the musical treat! Jeff
It takes a whole lot to do Jackson justice at all, but I dare say you outdid him on this one.
Thanks Jeremy! Very kind of you to say.
This rendition is one of the things I live for. You have no idea how much I relate to this song, one of my favourite artists (Jackson, but now Garret Baker as well) with one of my favourite paintings, the Old Guitarist by Picasso, whom I share my birth date with in october 25th and my last two relationships ended in october. And this sound just speaks to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this.
Thanks Giuseppe. It's such a beautifully written song, full of so much of what made Frank such a strange, beguiling, wonderful writer and performer. Very glad this speaks to you, as the original did to me. Garret
what are the chords?
Hi. I’m afraid I am a play by ear person and not too sure on chords. Pretty sure I just listened to the beautiful original and approximated. Thanks!
@@garretbakermusic thanks anyway! love your version of the song. i have known it for a while now and it keeps coming back and always brings some relief to my soul. thank you for that too!
Crying middle of the night amazing music
Amazing
This is such a faithful yet unique cover. I actually may prefer this to the original! I love the melodies you added.
<3
That is really nice! Well done!
What is this painting?
Hi. Sorry for late reply. Rarely on here. That is a painting called 'The old Guitarist'' by Pablo Picasso.
AMAZING!

'Thanks!
Would love to hear a better quality version
+chaosinorderrr I'm afraid it was done pretty rough and ready on fairly basic equipment. You can dowload it here, but the quality probably isn't any better: soundcloud.com/garretbaker/october-jackson-c-frank-cover
A very fine song Garret Baker - touch base at some stage ?!
Niall kea Hello there. Thanks. Sure. Away at minute, but glad to.
Thank you for the terrific cover of "October." I love hearing people do great justice to Jackson's 90's period music. He was still writing phenomenal songs and you really did this one up great. Awesome!
Thanks Steve. It's, as you way, such a sad, beautiful song. It sounded to me like he packed a lifetime's worth of pain into it, but still managed a hopeful tone somehow.
Man, I have to tell you ..this is a phenomenal cover ..I love how you added slight other intstrumentation it seems and switched the bass for a high finish ..and your voice is nice on it ..makes it just as haunting as jackson's ..beautiful
