You are - My Original
This song was recorded before all the other originals I've put up on Youtube. It was recorded about 4 years ago. It was recorded in a studio in West Worthing.
Here is the tale behind it.
I am not really a fan of entering competitions, but my local pub ran a karaoke comp, and all my friends kept on urging me to go in for it. I refused at first, but they wore me down, and I entered. There was a qualifying round, and a final. To cut a long story short, I won the competition.
The first prize was a day in a recording studio, to record one song. The guy who ran the studio came up to me and asked me what song I wanted to do, so that he could get the backing. That got my grey cells lighting up. I asked him if it was alright if I recorded one of my own songs. He was very happy about that, and even seemed excited.
In the end, I ended up being in the studio for a few weeks. I paid for all the extra time myself. So it wasn't just one song I came out with. I ended up recording 9 of my songs. I wasn't too happy with the vocals in those songs, but I never really am :)
All the music was performed by the "Mick", the studio owner (his main instrument was the Bass Guitar). This is one of the songs from that collection. It's a song called "You are".
A couple of people commented on why it seems to finish in a strange way. The idea behind that was that the story is not over yet, so I wanted to leave the song hanging, so as to speak.
Here it is. "You are"
Here's the usual Youtube stats digest :).
I now have 499 Subscribers. So, so close to 500 now.
My channel views are at 10,913. Almost at 11k.
Finally the total video views are 140,131.
For my next trick. An R.E.M. anthem :)
