“I Want You (She’s So  Heavy) - We covered this song in 2010 for a split 7-inch with our buddies in Manchester Orchestra, I grew up feasting on a bunch of my parent’s LP’s, with the main course being the Beatles, accompanied by some large sides of Zeppelin and the Stones, (and perhaps some Steve Miller Band for desert.) Anyway, this song is one of my favorite Beatles songs on probably my favorite Beatles record. It has been hailed by music writers as one of the heaviest pre-Sabbath songs, with some saying that the song may “have inadvertently started doom metal.” Now that’s something to put on your resumé. I dig that we mostly left the tune alone except for the verse after the first ‘She’s So Heavy’ part being spiced up a bit. Teppei killed it on the engineering/mixing side of things. It sounds raw and well…heavy.

“Fifteen years ago, I played at the Apollo and got booed off the stage. I’d never been booed before, so it took my ego down a notch. But it ended up being a good thing. Before that moment, I had been so afraid of looking stupid. I’d always been so worried about taking a wrong step that would damage my career or my image. So getting booed off stage was liberating in a way. It made me think: ‘Well, that’s the dumbest I’ll ever look. And I’m still here, I’m still healthy, and I can still make music.’”

Fly Me To The Moon - Jacko Hooper (Frank Sinatra Cover)

I was always a big fan of this song, i am a real lover of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack in general but always thought the lyrics to this song were something i could really paint my own story with.

I’m not sure why this song, but i did my own cover.

I really hope you guys enjoy it. 

Love,

Jacko
