@ 06:23 AM (4 months, 12 days ago)

Now to the second of two Original songs in a row. The name of this one is "Escape". This has been one of the favourites amongst some of my friends. Like the others before, this song was written a few years ago.

My rendition of Hello again.

Tags:
@ 04:19 AM (4 months, 16 days ago)

Here is the 2nd of the 2 Neil numbers in sequence. This was another of his big hits, and my video of this has done pretty well. It's had about double the viewings of the previous video.

My attempt at a CCR song

Tags:
@ 03:19 AM (4 months, 18 days ago)

Now for something from "Creedence clearwater revival", and the awesome "Bad moon rising". It's a song I've always liked, and this allowed me to have a dabble with the effects on my sound card. The maximum simultaneous effects I can use are 2, so I opted for Reverb and Slap Back Echo. The second of those effects is very much like that used in the original.

Solid as the earth beneath my feet

Tags:
@ 02:59 AM (4 months, 19 days ago)

Here's a number I recorded a few years back. It's different to the other cover versions, in that i didn't sit in front of the camera and sing it. I had some really positive feedback on the use of male vocals in this song, so that was a good enough reason to upload it to Youtube.

One of my songs

Tags:
@ 07:00 AM (4 months, 20 days ago)

Here's another one of my Original songs.

This is another song I wrote a few years back. It was part of a large batch of songs I wrote in a 2 month period. A number of friends and family took a liking to this one.

It's name is "Anybody there"

It's about someone alone, who tries to reach out and contact friends, but every time they try, they seem to fail. This makes the feel worse.

See what you think:

A Youtube stats update.

2 more subscribers since the last post. I'm now on 382.

There's also been a good increas in my channel views. They are now at 9,730.

The total views for all my videos are now 107,229. Still moving strongly.

Next. A cover I recorded a few years ago, which I decided to put up.

A Paul McCartney tribute song

Tags:
@ 06:38 AM (4 months, 21 days ago)

This is a very special cover. One of my friends on Youtube asked me to have a go at this song. I had real problems finding any backing for this, so I ended up recording the music myself, but differently.

Me doing Coldplay again

Tags:
@ 12:57 PM (4 months, 22 days ago)

This next number is probably one of songs on Youtube that has received the most attention. It's one of my all time favourites, and one of the best tunes that Coldplay ever produced. The one and only "Fix you".

Picking guesses from the air

Tags:
@ 05:37 AM (4 months, 28 days ago)

Here we are at the thirtieth video already.

This is one of my own compositions from over a year ago. It's called "Why don't you ask".

This one is more up tempo in relation to the other songs of mine. I had a mad moment where I wanted to create a hook in a heavy song with a vibraphone., and the fruit of that idea is embedded within this tune.

The tune is about two people. One of them is really interested in how the other person feels about things and asks these things. They are frustrated that the other person doesn't do that. They just assume they know. They are of course wrong.

Have a listen:

Now for some numbers.

I've had an increase in my subscribers again.

The current total is 354.

The views for all my videos has just passed 99,000. At the current rate. They should make the 100,000 during friday.

The amount of people viewing my channel is 9402. It's going to take a little longer for that to reach 10,000. I estimate it might take a few weeks.

That's another Original out of the way. Next we have another cover. Something by Paul Weller :)

Raindrops are falling on my head

Tags:
@ 03:35 AM (5 months, 6 hours ago)

There are plenty of tunes that please me but the next song I did does that particularly well. It's that old classic "Raindrops keep falling on my head". The one I grew up with was the version by BJ Thomas.

A Connells song

Tags:
@ 03:14 AM (5 months, 3 days ago)

In 1995 a band called the Connells had a hit in the UK with an awesome number. The song got to number 14 in the charts. It's the subject of this next video.
