The March Divide - Dancing With Myself (Billy Idol / Gen X cover)

from Cover Me Turns 10: A Covers Tribute to Covers by Cover Me

	/

about

I've honestly never been one to do covers, nothing at all against people that do them, I dig a good cover as much as the next guy, but I've always been so focused on writing, that I never really took the time to learn other peoples songs. I'm a total bore, at a camp fire. But recently, I did did a sort of 80's cover series, & really enjoyed it, probably more than I should have. When asked to do the Cover Me 10yr Anniversary project, I was still fresh off my inspiration of the 80's, & really liked the story of "Dancing With Myself." Originally recorded by Billy Idol's band Gen X, as a 7" single in the UK, but it flopped. Fast forward a couple of years, Billy Idol, as a solo artist, re-released "Dancing With Myself" as a single in the US, & the rest is history. As a song writer, a story like that gives me hope. Maybe somewhere down the road, people might finally give a shit about all these songs I written!
