Silly Songs With SaFong: Fix You Cover

I decided to sing “Fix You” by Coldplay for my final post here at the Wave. ‘Fix You’ has been one of  my favorite songs for years now, so I just had to cover it. What I love about this song is the nice acoustic sound it has. Instantly, I fell in love with the rhythm guitar in the background and learned the chords right away. However, what I like most about ‘Fix You’ are the lyrics. These words were written by the lead singer, Chris Martin of Coldplay to help comfort his wife, Gweneth Paltrow after her father had died. I think they serve as a source of comfort not only for her, but for all of us. They remind us that despite all the pain that is present in our lives and the mistakes we’ve made, we can move on and accept them because we will always have another opportunity to do even greater things and succeed. Hope you enjoy!

For this next cover, I decided to do something simple. I chose the song “You & I” by Ingrid Michaelson.

Silly Songs With SaFong: My First Time At A Studio + Upcoming Cover!

Last Friday I had the wonderful opportunity of recording a song in a professional recording studio for the very first time. Unfortunately, there was a mishap in the balancing of my audio file and because I can’t post my full cover of Chasing Cars this week I’ll share about my experience with you all instead. 

Silly Songs With SaFong: Introduction

Hello! My name is Samantha, or SaFong as some may call me. I’ve been surrounded by music my entire life and grew up listening to the Eagles, Pilot, King Harvest, etc. Since then, however, I have to grown to love YouTube artists such as Tori Kelly, Leroy Sanchez, and Howard Chan as well as Christian Pop artists such as Tim Be Told and Tenth Avenue North – who all focus on creating music with a more acoustic sound. I aim to create that same sound with the originals and covers I post, using solely my voice, a guitar, and a mic. I’m looking forward to sharing my music with you all!
