Download available on MySpace via SNOCAP. www.myspace.com/lukesandoval Written by Regina Spektor. On the Album "Begin to Hope" Just a truly beautiful song... This is for the boy who introduced me to Regina Spektor. We couldn't bring the columns down, but we tried.. + Informações

It's four in the morning.... + Informações

Not even close to Tori's, but made with much love. I remember listening to this as a kid in my bedroom in California. I would turn off all the lights and jump on bed, reveling in the angry, fierce lyrics of this song. I wanna smash the faces... It is still one of my all-time favorites.. + Informações

An old friend in New York asked me to do this song. It's been a favorite of mine ever since I saw Tori perform this at Riverside Church in NYC. That performance opened my eyes to this truly excellent song. Comment and criticism always appreciated and welcome.. + Informações

August 17, 2006 -- Heard this song yesterday for the first time and was smitten. Subtle, simple and beautiful.. + Informações

Written by Tori Amos from her album "Under the Pink" I know I am tempting the wrath of Ears with Feet everywhere, but someone sent me a message asking for this song.. + Informações

One of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs and one that gets in my head everytime I get out of the subway at 23rd Street and see the song's namesake. A beautiful building and a even more beautiful song.. + Informações

A request that just so happened to have particular resonance over this Thanksgiving Day weekend. I'd never tried playing this one before but, damn, it sure is fun.. + Informações

Written by Tori Amos from the album "Under the Pink" Back in NY with my piano. This is for my friend Armin from Berlin. He asked me to learn this so I'm giving it a shot.. + Informações

Written by Tom Waits from his album, "Small Change". + Informações

Written by Tori Amos, from her album "Little Earthquakes" Vintage Tori and, in my mind, one of her yummier songs.. + Informações

Maybe it's much too early in the game.... + Informações

Written by Sufjan Stevens from his album "Seven Swans" Week 5 and still going... : ) Another great song by Sufjan.... + Informações

Written by Sufjan Stevens from his album "Greetings from Michigan" Week 5: Take two on this lovely song. Still can't do the banjo part, but what's the fun in something if it doesn't require a little (ok, a lot) of work? : ). + Informações

Written by Sam Bean (Iron and Wine). From their album "Our Endless Numbered Days". Filmed in Berlin. August 2006. One of the first songs I wanted to learn when I picked up the guitar. I don't come close to doing it justice, especially the quiet harmonies throughout and at the end. But the love is there. : ). + Informações

Written by Tori Amos from her album "Boys for Pele" Figure it out.... + Informações

Written by Sufjan Stevens from his album "A Sun Came" Thanks to Cougarman for the tab lesson and to Sufjan for this strange, beautiful song. (I just noticed that there's a lot of boom that causes popping on a subwoofer -- sorry about that).. + Informações

Sorry it moves a little quickly but I was trying to come in under the 10 minute mark. Feel free to write if you have any questions.. + Informações

Another frequent request -- this is the first of several parts (which will be posted over the next day or two). This video goes through the 4 chords that are used throughout the song starting from the simplest level (the bass notes) progressing through triads and inversions. The basic idea is that you should get very comfortable jumping around the keyboard with these chords (particularly in the right hand). It will help you be much quicker at gaining fluency with this song.. + Informações

Part 2 of this series.. + Informações

I recorded the piano part way back in late August 2005. I had just made the decision to leave my job and was absolutely terrified. I sat down at the piano and played and played and this was the Tori song that just kept coming up. There is a level of raw emotion in this song that reminded me of her earlier work. I think that what attracted me to it. And I think it was that rawness that made it resonate for me so deeply during that period of my life. Unfortunately, I didn't really know the words, so the vocal track was junk. The recording sat around on my iPod gathering electronic dust until someone requested that I sing this. It was the encouragement I needed to put this one in order. I re-recorded the vocals in February 2007. It is a sensitive song to cover, given that Tori wrote it after her brother's untimely death. I tried to do it as respectfully as I possibly could and I hope that sounds and shows.. + Informações

I'm thinking that the next few videos might be covers of artists who not as many people may have heard of, but who I think deserve a listen. So entry no. 1 is Chris Garneau. A friend introduced me to his "Music for Tourists" last fall. He's got a lovely, striking voice and writes beautiful melodies. I took a few listens through his CD and then sort of put it away. For a while, it just disappeared, but then, recently, the songs started popping back up in my head. This one in particular seemed to be hanging around a lot. It's a beautiful song and you should definitely check out his version -- there is a lovely version here on YouTube and the album version is even better. In any case, here's hoping this might earn the guy a few more fans because he certainly deserves to be heard. Enjoy!. + Informações

~ I loved a girl named Laura, she was my first. still love her to this day even though we're not together ~ Thanks to matthew luke sandoval for making such a great guy version to this song and for posting how to learn samson videos.
