A collaboration - Traffic signals
This next number was a collaborative effort with a Canadian musician. Before I started posting videos on Youtube, I was writing songs with various people, and he was one of them. He writes a lot of music, and was eager to co-write songs with other people. So he did the music, and I put the words and vocal melody to the ones that inspired me. I suppose you could say it was similar to the Elton John and Bernie Taupin scenario. The difference was that we made absolutely nothing from it :)
We did a number of songs together, and we were both happy with the results. In july, last year, I started posting up my videos to Youtube. Earlier this year I encouraged my musical friend from Canada to start posting his stuff on to Youtube. He has done very well up to this point, and that's well deserved.
Getting around to the song. He posted up some music, inviting others to put words to it. It inspired me, so I worked on the lyrics and vocal melody, and I called the result "Traffic signals". I used some imagery in the video, which is symbolic of the meaning.
Here is the result of our effort:
If you like the music in this song, then I suggest you go and take a look at his Youtube channel. His username is 'Songvibe'. He's got a decent collection of songs on there already.
I'll finish off with the stats.
539 Subscribers. Still on the climb.
11,121 channel views.
There are 156,734 overall video views. Up by a few more thousand
Looking forward to the next one. It's another original song that has a guest guitarist.
