The only real "projects" I did over the summer were two songs. The first is a vocal cover of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith. I didn't have the time or resources to try to make the song from scratch, so I just grabbed a karaoke track and did the best Steven Tyler impression I could. I would expect mixed reactions to this one, but I'm pretty satisfied with how I did, just as a vocal exercise. Scream-singing is fun.
The other project, which I did create from scratch in Garage Band, is a cover of "Dear Boy" by Paul McCartney. I was inspired to make this one after listening to the remaster of his Ram album. The backing vocals were pretty complex and difficult to figure out in places, so I simplified them in a few places. The vocals aren't perfect, but still pretty trippy sounding, which I think keeps pretty faithful to the original.
