Everybody seems to be doing beautiful covers of Creep right now from homeless men to Ukrainian woman's' choirs and The Crowd Surfers are no exception. The Crowd Surfers cover will take Creep out of the rock club and into the orchestral hall, preserving the simple four chord structure but presenting it as done by a small chamber ensemble. Strings, brass and, woodwinds compliment a singer accompanied by choirs for the refrain.
What we have:
A talented female lead singer.
What we need:
Everything else. Most importantly classically trained or other non rock musicians to delicately carry the melody and bass line. We're aiming for the sound of a string/brass/woodwind/piano quartet or small chamber orchestra although we'll consider anyone's submission who can bring something heartbreaking to the table. We also need people to sing in the chorus to sing the refrain and all of verse two.
What's the angle:
Creep can be a very beautiful song and an arrangement with string/brass/woodwind/piano has not to my knowledge been done yet. Let's make the trolls sob in their browser windows!
What's the template:
The album version of Creep (linked above) will be used for tempo, general arrangement, and key. When you make your recording please play along with this version of the song or we won't be able to use your recording.
