weatherman (forestlike)

By jwh on November 10, 2024 11:09 pm

i'm in a duo called forestlike with a lifelong buddy named Jared. this is a (mostly) live version of our song 'weatherman.'
we recorded the vocals and acoustic guitars live back in February (the video footage is from the live take). oh yeah, that hot beat is coming from Jared's old Wurlitzer Swinging Rhythm drum machine.  smile
i added bass and some additional percussion and finished the mix this week.

if yr interested, you can find our album — including the original version of 'weatherman' —  here on bandcamp.

hope y'all are doing ok. it's been a week...

Made me smile, couldn't stop. Magical. And that Wurlitzer is a treasure!

(That last minute is amazing btw. What a sound!)

Beautiful song and awesome sound!  Love that swingin rhythm! **taps foot**  The vocal harmonies are so comforting and the guitar melody so catchy.  The bass gives it a nice full sound.  Especially enjoyed the "i know i've been fooled by the weatherman" line.   

That was lovely, you both sound great together.  That Wurlitzer sure is something

Cool tune!

A lovely warm tune for these grey November days. Thank you.

Warm and cozy. Just the right thing! heart

Beautiful "folk" song.

Well done.

Very heartfelt and authentic. Love you two.

I needed some musical therapy for sure this week.  You guys sound great together.  Both your guitars and vocals blend beautifully. 

P.S. I also checked out your and Emily's rendition of Engine.  Really lovely version and thanks for sharing it.

Cool old school drum machine, glad you included the photo.  The first two lines really resonated with me, one of my families favourite places to holiday “Jasper” literally burned down this summer.  My kids are sad as they say will take 100 years for the trees to grow back, so they will never see the Jasper we remember again.

Really lovely performance! I usually just listen to the audio but seeing the two of you playing in that room with the old piano was a treat. And the drum box holding it all together, haha! Well done.

What a great duo! The atmosphere of the live show and the sound of the drum machine are both great.

this is my favorite thats come from you so far!

stellar vibes in this one. love those wurli drums and that "modern vintage" feel. awesome lyrics too. a killer duo!
