This is the 3rd of my old original songs choices. This is a song called "Winner". The lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways, but I wrote it for mistaken friends who need support.
This song was also co-written with Mick Paul. I finish off with details about what mick is up to now in his music career.
If you watched the last vid I posted, you will have learned that Mick played bass on a David Hasselhoff single. I don't think there's many individuals who don't know who the Hoff is. After being in such shows as "Knight rider", "Baywatch" and "America's got talent".
Here is "Winner":
Mick is quite busy doing the touring thing at the moment, with an outfit named "The David Cross band". David Cross used to be in a band called "King Crimson". They were very well known. If you come from Italy, There's a good chance that you've heard of David Cross. He's quite popular there, and hence the reason why Mick does most of his touring there.
Now here's the regular Youtube numbers update.
My subscribers have seen a really good jump in the last few days. Racing past the 700 barrier to 717.
Channel viewings cruised to 16,017. That's the 16k barrier broken.
Last but by no means least. The total video views. They are 246,003. I hoped that they might possibly get to the quarter of a million by the 17th July. Which is the 1st year anniversary of my the first vid I uploaded on Youtube. At this rate, it looks like it's going to get there on the 15th!!
I'm probably going to do a few coldplay covers in my next few videos, and I'm hoping to bring some more news about my forthcoming album release.
I've created a mailing list for album news. I will only be using the email addresses for that purpose. It's so I can inform interested parties about events regarding the album, before I post the info anywhere else.
If anyone is interested in signing up for it then you can do just that if you go to the homepage on my website. Here's the URL:
I'm going to revisit 3 chosen songs I wrote when I first started to record music seriously.
A few years ago I wrote and recorded 9 songs in about a teo week period with a very talented guy called "Mick Paul".
Mick plays a mean Bass Guitar and has been busy in his career up to now. He also runs his own recording studio, and the nine songs I recorded with him, were done in that studio.
I've picked 3 of those songs to upload to youtube, and this is the first of them.
The title of the song is "Amber falls". The meaning is quite dark. I wonder if you can work out what the song is about, before the video tells you near the end.
Check out the video here:
I have put some snippets of info about Mick in this first video, and I will be adding more to the following 2 videos. There may be a name or two that some music lovers might recognise.
I put a warning in the video description of this song, because the song contains what is known as "Speaker busters". Extremely deep high volume bass notes, that can cause damage to a bass speaker when it's turned up full. I just thought I'd let you know that. :)
Now for some youtube food.
I only need another 10 subs to get to 700. So the current figure is 690.
My channel views are now 15,424.
The overall video views are up to 235,621. The way things are going, I might hit the quarter million by the first year anniversary of my first video upload.
In my next post, I'll be bigging up the second of the three selected old original songs :).
There's been another cover version of one of my original songs. This time it's "Broadcast fantasy".
It was performed by "PetesBehr" on Youtube. It sounds like an unplugged version.
He has done a cover version of one of my songs before.
This is quite different from the original, but I like it. He has created his own interpretation of it, and that's what I like to see people doing with songs. Especially when it comes to my music. Engraving their own signature on it.
So now you know how the original goes. This is his cover of my song:
It makes me feel good when other people like my tunes enough to want to perform them themselves. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right :)
Now, it's the Youtube update:
I have now got 681 subscribers. Only another 19 to go to get to 700.
The channel views are moving along very nicely, and have now reached 15,037.
The total viewings for all of my videos are 227,028. Only another 23k to the quarter of a million, and it's moving at about a thousand a day at the moment.
I've been working on my own website recently. I think it's important for me to bring everything up to date, considering I'm releasing an album soon. So I'm changing the info on there. I'll be pumping out the URL when I'm happy that it's ready, for anyone who may be interested :)
I was busy writing another song when this one popped into my head. So I stopped writing the first one to complete this song. It's title is "Broadcast fantasy".
I've finally racked up a year on Youtube, and I thought this would be a really fitting song to upload in celebration of my first year. It's a tongue-in-cheek look at TV addiction. As Youtube shares a lot of similarites with television, it seemed like the right choice to make.
This is different in style again, to my previous songs. I think this one sits more in the pop arena.
I hope you enjoy it like I did:
This video was uploaded less that 24 hours ago, and the response so far is very good. Lots of lovely honours :)
So back to the numbers. Here's the Youtube latest.
There are now 639 subscribers to my Channel.
The channel itself has been viewed 13,842 times, and all of my videos have received a total of 205,218 viewings.
I'm aiming to make the song I was originally working on, my next upload. Though I have a habit of changing my mind at the last minute :)
