LIVE-IN SKIN - Foo Fighters Cover by MONOVISION

ABOUT "LIVE-IN SKIN": This is probably my favorite track on the original album... So it makes me happy that this might also be my personal favorite track of the entire project reimagining the album. What was a driving, rollicking, riffing Rock song has made a surprisingly seamless transition into being a piano ballad - complete with haunting strings. According to Dave Grohl, this song was written while the album was already being mixed, and got recorded and included very quickly. I'm thankful it did. For me, Live-In Skin kind of encapsulates everything else the album has to offer melodically and thematically. It reckons with the cost of a new perspective gained, with loss, with defiance and strength... when illumination transforms us at the deepest level, and the vulnerable process of waiting for that internal change to translate into a brand new outer "skin." As has been my process for this whole project, I think approaching the song in a more sparse and raw fashion is another valid way to treat the same material. Enjoy. Also, check out the ORIGINAL RECORDING for reference:    • Foo Fighters - Live-In Skin   ABOUT THE “EVERYTHING LEFT TO WIN” PROJECT: I love Foo Fighters. I think they’re one of the great Rock bands, and I think they’ve produced some of the great Rock albums of our time. Perhaps the greatest among them would be There Is Nothing Left To Lose, an album which starts strong and simply never lets up… The thing is, it’s not just the genre of its realization. And it’s not just the production or arrangement of the songs. It’s the songs themselves. The songwriting is fantastic, driven by chords and melodies in ways both fresh and interesting. This is exactly how good songs are written, and to a degree where I’d say this album is more “musical” than a lot of singer-songwriter albums receiving accolades for their atmosphere alone (even when the actual songwriting is bland). Some people might miss just how focused on melody and chord Dave Grohl's writing is if they don’t listen beyond distorted guitars and heavy drums… And that’s kinda where this project comes from. The thing about great songwriting like Dave’s is that it tends to transcend one form of realization. It’s bigger than the genre you first hear it in. Bigger than it’s original arrangement. That’s why Beatles’ songs can be covered in such a variety of ways and still be totally valid. Because they’re great songs. Everything Left To Win is a new take on Nothing Left To Lose. It’s my reimagining of an album I love. The lyrics on this record are brilliant as well. Where the original album is forward and driven and intense and dynamic, I am taking an approach which is more subdued and haunting - less “Arena Rock” and more “Melancholy Indie Pop.” I hope it "translates" as well for you as it has for me. #davegrohl #getthistodave #foofighters #cover #monovision CREDITS: Music and Lyrics: Foo Fighters Arrangement and Performance: Kevin MacDougall Audio/Video Engineering and Editing: Nate Smith
