Garden on a Trampoline - Without You (Harry Nilsson / Badfinger cover)

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

	/

about

"I wanted to approach this Harry Nilsson cover with a delicate touch rather than replicate the original, particularly in terms of the symphonic emotional weight that Nilsson elegantly gave us in the second half. His voice gets really high, and I think I can reach the same octave, but part of me had this idea of turning the song into an homage to another favorite songwriter of mine: Sparklehorse. So I tried to make it far more subdued, though I've performed this song live note for note akin to Nilsson's take. Nilsson was one of my first heroes as a child, alongside The Beach Boys and The Beatles. My dad played him in heavy rotation and I adore his production, as well as his own take on cover songs. This one always brought a tear to my eye, and it was an honor to cover it." - Jim Laczkowski (Garden on a Trampoline)
