You are - One of my songs

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’s the story 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. The competition comprised of several qualifying rounds, and a final. In the end, I won the competition.

The first prize was a day in a recording studio, to record one song. The man who owned the studio approached me and asked me what song I wanted to record, so that he could get the backing music. 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.

I ended up spending a few weeks in the studio. Paying for the extra time myself. I ended up recording nine of my own songs. Being ever self critical, I was not best pleased with my vocals in the mix. I never am though. They were a bit pitchy :)

Anyway. All the instrumentation is performed by the studio owner (his strength is the bass guitar). This is one of those nine songs, and it’s called “You are”.

A few people mentioned to me about how strange they thought the song ended. I wanted to make sure I left the end hanging, to signify that the story is only part way through.

Here it is. “You are”
