Threads (Portishead Cover, Version #3)

about

This is a song from their third studio album Third, released in 2008. I covered this song first in a recording from 2008, which had a slightly different atmosphere to it. Nothing really compares to the album version by them, but this time around, I had learned the value of good swooping harmony vocals and their placement, if not their placement in the mix. Vocal swooping for effect was also utilized. I also managed to better pull off the eerie atmosphere, and without an awkward and unforgivable voice crack like the one that occurred at the climax of the track in my earlier cover version recorded at 172 Elm Road, Falmouth, MA 02540 in 2008. This recording, and the rest on this album after it, are from the same recording session done in 2011, I think. The guitar I'm playing is my Taylor 214ce electric acoustic guitar.

lyrics

Better if I could find the words to say
whenever I take a chance it turns away
I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why

I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I battle my thoughts I find I can't explain
whenever I take a choice I've traveled so far but somehow I feel the same
I worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why

I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why

I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I am alive when I sleep
why am I not in all that I've got?
I can't find no one to blame
stand, stand, damned one
damned one
damned one
damned one
damned one
I am one
(vocalizing)
where will I go?
