Dear Rob,
As I often (read like every other day) do when a picture of you playing the guitar or holding the guitar or really just being in the general vicinity of a musical instrument comes out I have a personal quiet freak out (cause I’m a sucker for a musician, hello!) and then late that night I usually send the link to Kristin (fab friend and forum mod from way back) to have a mutual love fest over. And then lament how pwned we are by you and how much we want to punch you in the face for being that rad. Seriously, it pretty much goes exactly like that every time. From complete ecstasy to rage and annoyance in 5 minutes. Yes, that’s what you do to me.
So last night was no different. Some random picture from Remember Me came out of you holding that guitar and we went into rob-has-a-guitar-lets-freak-moment and then we commenced with the repeated listening of Let Me Sign and Never Think and then Kristin suggested that you should cover some songs and her pick was Work Me by the Black Keys and WOWwowweeewow was she right. And then I wondered what would I want you to cover since we’re not getting anything new out of you probably for a long time and since you already not at all covered a Dashboard Confessional album what was left?? Considering your unique voice I gotta go with either Elton John My Father’s Gun or anything by Cat Stevens like The Wind. I’d pretty much die listening to any of those songs being covered by you.
Then I took to Twitter to ask you all what your choices would be and here’s what you said…
Follow the cut to find out your picks…
You Belong to Me – Bob Dylan or Pale Blue Eyes – Velvet Underground (@_vixb)
Paper Tiger – Spoon (@nopaperkg)
Beside You – Van Morrison (@tj123001)
Straight outta Compton – NWA (@myRobPattinson)
I’ll Make Love to You – Boyz II Men (@_dharv)
Single Ladies – Beyonce (@Celyssa)
Anything by Jeff Buckley except Hallelujah (@apotampkin)
Never Gonna Give You Up – Rick Astley (@BiteMeBaker) we just got Rob-rolled!
Stolen – Dashboard Confessional (@suzspetals) I mean he DOES have a DC covers album! It’s totes possible!
Cold as Ice – Foreigner (for him and Kstew) and Crazy Train – Ozzy Osbourne (for Cathy the Cougar) (@veddersgirl)
The Thong Song – Sisqo (@rizzoyzuko)
I’d personally pay to see you drunk karaoke The Thong Song or I’ll Make Love to You. For realz. And then I’d laugh, really hard.
XO,
Themoonisdown
So in your dream fantasy what song would Rob cover? Would you rather Rob have been a musician or an actor? Can we have both?
Our internet game is ridiculous: LTT, The Forum, Twitter

Live the look on his face when he said that in the movie- it looked like he had a funny taste in his mouth (twss).
By: drsaka on February 10, 2010

The way he said it was a lot better than the look. It keeps replaying in my head every time google is mentioned… Do I get a ‘thats normal’?
By: Bleriana on February 10, 2010

That’s normal- me too. The look is hilarious, like he can’t stand saying it.

He stammers over words in interviews, rap??? Although I would pay BIG money to see it.
He says he use to think he could dance??? Rap and all the dancing that goes along with the performance? Next he will be doing a romantic comedy. LOL Dear Lord, he would be like a chiropractors wet dream trying to break dance!!!

I’m gonna go with some Damien Rice. Perhaps “Delicate”?
By: Jess on February 10, 2010

“Beside you” ..is an AMAZING SONG….my favourite for a cover!
and I would love to hear HIS version on the piano!
By: robgirl86 on February 10, 2010

I heard him say in an interview that Beside You was his favorite song and that Van Morrison was his fav group.

NICK DRAKE NICK DRAKE NICK DRAKE NICK DRAKE.
God I love Nick Drake more that words allow me to express (him and Sigur Ros) – I love him more than Rob and that says a lot.
If Rob were to cover Road by Nick I think I would die of pure concentrated perfect ecstasy.
Seriously.
By: Shleeeigh on February 10, 2010

PS: I know I’m biased, but listen to Road and tell me you wouldn’t swoon to death listening to Rob sing this with his acoustic guitar…

The Killers “Human” or “A Dustland Fairytale” (they say “slick”, “midnight sun” and is kinda of a Twilight song) and Bjork “Human behaviour”. OK, end of the most twilight moment I ever had. Otherwise “Abuse me” by Silverchair would probably work for a lot of us for obvious reasons.
By: minuit passé on February 10, 2010

I looked at the link that you referred me to and replied.

I’ve seen her live and she’s unbelievable!!!
Could have added Vampire Weekend in the Twilight themed moment. Of course i wouldn’t want his music to be related with twilight at all.
I don’t want to remember at what time I went to bed yesterday, I’m already dying as it is.

She has such a different style and I really like her voice…

I totally noticed that about that Killers song, also on that album they say ‘Twilight’ although I can’t remember the song. With that and the fact the contributed on the New Moon soundtrack I’m starting to think they are Twi-hards communicating secrets Twilight messages through their songs. Or that might just be me trying to find something Twi in everything…

Oh I defs like our man as an actor. He’s providing a lot more material for mental imagery that way. When he’s old and ugly he can still work on his music. He doesn’t need to look good for that.
I’m totally there with @_vixb. I’d love to see him cover ‘sunday morning’ by the velvet underground (preferably in my back yard on said lazy sunny weekend day) or some other piece of Lou Reedian brilliance.

Don’t let this happen to you Rob!!
By: dazzledtodeath on February 10, 2010
at 10:58 am
Hey! Keith put a lot of effort in to get that look…haha…(love me some Stones)
Rob would have to quit the Heine and move on to the much stronger stuff to get in Richards’s territory. And then abuse some other substances A LOT, also of the hard variety…
Also wouldn’t like to hear Rob’s voice after that…
By: Cath on February 10, 2010
at 11:12 am
Yeah, the KR look was from years and years and years of really hard stuff and hard living. Please, Rob, don’t go down that path, you’re too great the way you are now (and I think too smart for that).
By: drsaka on February 10, 2010
at 11:22 am
Growl- what sway do musicians have over us? Especially slightly dirty, scruffy ones (Rob fits the bill v nicely, doesn’t he?). Maybe its the expression of emotion and of course the crazy physical hotness (Rob fits the bill v nicely, doesn’t he?).
I think he should go way back, maybe some Howlin’ Wolf, ‘Who do you Love’, Bo Diddley, ‘Baby please don’t go’- covered by many people (Muddy Waters, Van the Man- while in Them, ‘Further on up the road’- covered by many. Here’s my absolute all time fav of it-
Maybe he’ll bust out his new electric guitar for it!!!!
These are some obvious ones, but his bluesy growl fits perfectly with these types of songs though it would be great for him to explore other genres.
By: drsaka on February 10, 2010
at 8:29 am
For some reason I read “bowl cut” instead of “bluesy growl.” And I was really confused for a moment. Because a) last time I checked, Rob’s hair is definitely not a bowl cut, and b) I couldn’t figure out how a hair cut was related to singing.
But bluesy growl. I’m with you now. And I agree 🙂
By: Jess on February 10, 2010
at 8:33 am
maybe you were thinking of the hair cuts in HTB or BMH- kind of grown out bowl cuts!

absolutely, though the songs I posted are obvious and the critics would savage him if he put these out, I’d love to hear and see what he’d do with them live and what he could bring to some of these iconic songs.
I’d love to see him develop his style more and I’m a goner for a man with an electric guitar:

Yeah, I know, me too. And that’s a great link, thanks! I really believe music’s a great love of Rob, but at the time it’s just too hectic to do anything serious with it. But in a while he could explore it further, like Ryan Gosling also toured with his band last year. Could see him do that! Hope he gets to one day!
By: Cath on February 10, 2010
at 11:17 am
I was also thinking about which U2 song I’d love him to do…Pure out of selfish reasons, Bad and Desire(obviously, haha) crossed my mind, but then I got it: All I Want Is You. What do you think?
By: Cath on February 10, 2010
at 11:46 am
I thought of ‘All I want is you’. U2 doesn’t seem like his style, though. It would have to be a completely different arrangement of ‘Bad’, its an iconic U2 song and I’m not sure Rob could hit he high notes. It would be interesting to see what he could do with it though. ‘Desire’ would have to be completely different as well.
By: drsaka on February 10, 2010
at 2:01 pm
Yeah, complete different arrangements for sure. You’re very right. His voice couldn’t be more different from Bono’s. I think AIWIY would be the most easy to convert to his style. I also wouldn’t want him to butcher Bad…Sorry Rob. Don’t know if I could handle that, for both U2 and Rob’s sake. Maybe a alternate version of Running To Stand Still. Ah, well…I love wishful thinking. 😉

I have to agree with Jeff Buckley – and then he should play Jeff Buckley in the biopic – it would pretty much be perfection.
By: HotJupiter on February 10, 2010

Rob singing Last Goodbye would be amaizing! Not sure his voice could get high enough for Jeff though?
By: Shleeeigh on February 10, 2010

I’d give anything to hear him cover ‘Lover, you should’ve come over’ or ‘So real’.

I would probably ball my eyes out if I heard him cover Pale Blue Eyes. And then I’d listen to it a million times in a row. His mumbley goodness would be perfect for that song.
I’m a sucker for Nine Inch Nails. I almost hate to admit it here because I think I’m in the Twifan minority with that one. I’d love to hear him sing All That Could Have Been. Not familiar with it? Do yourself a favor and listen to its angsty lovelyness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKe6t4S7FgM

I often hear songs and think I’d love to hear Rob sing them. I definitely agree with Pale Blue Eyes and I’d love to hear him do Hallelujah. Of course I can’t think of any off the top of my head..I’ll be back.

Ok, here are just a few-
Yesterday
California Stars-Wilco

Steal My Heart Away-Van Morrison
Of course, I’d listen to Rob sing anything.But I’d really love to hear his take on these.

Leonard Cohen’s “I’m Your Man”
“Angel Eyes” by the Jeff Healey Band, only slower and less hokey
“I Don’t Mind” by Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears
“Don’t Let Me Down” by the Beatles
I wouldn’t mind hearing him get all dirty blues with some old Clarence Carter or Ollie Nightingale (who wouldn’t want to hear Rob singing that he’d drink our bathwater?).
By: tiffanized on February 10, 2010
at 9:51 am
I think pretty much Leonard Cohen’s entire songbook would suit Rob’s style–Suzanne, Famous Blue Raincoat, so many to choose from.
Don’t Let Me Down–yes! And I still vote for Rob to play John Lennon in the upcoming biopic.

Fellow Englishman, Eric Clapton. You Look Wonderful tonight, Dylan, Lay Lady Lay.
And I can sooo relate to the comment about loving in one min and then wanting to punch him in the face the next. I swear on all that’s holy I cannot shake this addiction. The craving for any pics or info about him is insatiable so I find myself hiding to ” get the fix” and then it’s like wtf is wrong with me. I am a grown woman and this is soo not normal, and then I come to LTR and it’s all good again.

As I’m not au fait with Robs singing style imma suggest a song that always reminds me of mr handsome, ” do you want the truth or something beautiful?” Paloma Faith.

Great choices everyone, heart this topic!
I think some Damien Rice songs would suit him great too. So:
Elephant-Damien Rice
Rolling Stones; Beast Of Burden, could make his own unique version of that one
Paul Weller-Willd Wild Woods
Elvis Costello-She
Beatles-Long And Winding Road
Billie Holiday-Foolin’ Myself/Gloomy Sunday
And Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi, for obvious reasons and because I like a good laugh as well. 😉

I heart this topic. Plus, I have a lot to do at work today, so… I’ll keep coming back. Of course.
“Disarm” by Smashing Pumpkins. Not my favorite song, but I think of Robward when I hear it after falling in love with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kue3JTrGgU
And Rob’s voice is a hell of a lot less nasally than Billy Corgan’s.
Oh, and for a very good laugh, I want to hear him cover “Dracula’s Lament”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5ZtwbzUFZE
By: Katie S on February 10, 2010
at 11:29 am
aah! haven’t heard that song in ages. used to love The Smashing. also loved they did a huuuuge album(about 40 songs?) downlable for free. like the idea coming from people who already have a name in the industry (and a bank account accordingly).
By: minuit passé on February 10, 2010

Ooooh I LOVE the Black Keys! That’s some sexy music. That suggestion trumps my Boyz II Men one for sure. I just love the idea of Drunk Rob doing that during karaoke, probably awkwardly struggling to unbutton his plaid shirt sexily during it… Priceless.

I really don’t like how Rob sings, but I would suffer through a concert of his if I could be his groupie afterward.
That said, I would like to hear him cover Sir Mix-a-Lot “I like Big Butts” on the acoustic guitar. I think he could bring a lot to that song with his mumbling and occasional strumming.

I need some advice:
Am I cheating on Rob because I’m going to see “Valentine’s day” with a friend tonight? (who forced me because quote: ‘I watched NM with you and you will sure as hell make me watch RM too so you owe me.’
I personally think she owes me that I introduced her to the awesomeness of Rob but hey that’s just my opinion.
I think I’ll take my mobile phone with me and post random posts from time to time…
Lots of ❤
