I was gonna put a cover of the Mountain Goats' song Sendero Luminoso Verdadero, but ended up thinking it wasn't the best choice for the album I'm making. I really want to have a MGs song on the album, but I think it should be sad. I haven't dived into the whole discography, so what do you think is the best sad MGs song . Side note the lyrical content doesn't concern me, just the feeling.

did you get the rights to release a cover version?

I can't just play one of their songs and release the album for free?

fuck, well I guess I'm gonna do it anyway

probably yes but in the US youre supposed to get a mechanical reproduction contract for 15 cents per play/download, which is compulsory, meaning musicians cant refuse even if they wanted to

I'll look into it but I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be topping charts or even giving this out to anyone besides some friends

I've listened to about half of the 400 songs they wrote. I'm gonna get around to it, I just haven't had internet for a while.

Grendel's Mother, Song for an Old Friend or Raja Vocative.

Just dive deep into it, guys. It's all good.

>I remember Lima
>I remember the good life
mfw I was born in Lima, Peru and lived through Sendero Luminoso's terrorism in the 90s. That song hits hard as fuck.

I honestly didn't think anybody would reply, so thanks to everyone for posting, I am writing these songs down too.

That's sad and cool. I might just cover for it something else. Or stick with it I don't know
I might not even be able to cover anything if this copyright stuff works the way I'm looking at it..
But whatever I'm glad I got some other songs to look at, and even a song or two I didn't know about. I'm done here
