OUR HOUSE

Listen to the song; #6 on COLLABORATIONS

2012 - This was one of those songs that was popular when I was learning to sing and play the guitar. Along with my musician friends back then, we worked on harmonies and finger picking this one and many others by Cosby Stills Nash & Young. So when my stepdaughter Billie asked me to play it for her wedding, I said sure!

For the performance, I did a recording of the piano and bass and played my acoustic and sang. I slowed it down a bit to make the length work with the bridal procession they had planned. The wedding was at the Sports Multiplex in Santee on the stage area. The procession started out and crossed the bridge then looped around to the front of the stage, so it was fairly long. I think it worked out pretty good.

Afterwards I went back and recorded vocals and guitar to make the recording a final product. Nothing very fancy; just very basic. I can no longer reach those high notes very well, so the harmonies were left out. Anyways, I have a hard time getting motivated to put in a lot of effort for cover songs. Not to make excuses, but it’s very simple, and maybe it is best that way! Here are the lyrics:

OUR HOUSE
By Cosby Stills Nash & Young (with slight alterations) Cover by Reggie Michaud

I’ll light the fire while you place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen
To you play your love songs all night long for me
Only for me

Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With three cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy cause of you… and our

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cozy room the windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With three cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy cause of you… and our

I’ll light the fire while you place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
