By the telephone.

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Some commenters have accused me of miming in my vids, and I have to say that I take that as a great compliment. That they should be convinced that I’m miming to someone elses voice.

I thought I’d have a little fun with that idea for this video. It’s made up of some of my old photo’s, but it’s not an ordinary slideshow.

This song is called “You found me” and is by a group called “The Fray”. I did another one of their songs on Youtube called “How to save a life”.

This is MY version of it. I hope you like it.

You found me - The fray (My cover)

Last, but by no means least. It’s the low down on the Youtube figures.

The subscriber increase is still on that climb and has now reached 1,408.

The visits to my channel page now stand at 32,714.

The total video views are rolling forward and have now reached 677,653.

My next video is a Coldplay number and a dedication for a couple of my subscribers.

An Original - Take me home.

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

The week this one was put up on Youtube was quite a poignant one. It was a couple of weeks after the passing of my grandmother, The funeral was on the tuesday before the upload. I loved her dearly, but I cannot deny that she had a long life. She was 93.

In the early part of last year, I was taking part in music collaborations. One of these was with a Swedish man called Ulf. He is extremely talented, and had retired from gigging. He is now focussing on the writing side, and is currently providing music for film and television. I would say that the main area of his music is electronic. There was a song I completed with him, which was his music, and my words. This isn’t that song though. I only mention it because he wanted to have a go at doing the music for this song. We never got around to doing it, so this one is all me. The name of the song is “Take me home”.

It’s about someone who has made a big mistake in a relationship, that caused it to break. In the song, the person is appealing to their partner.

Check out the song here.

Here’s the latest on the stats.

My subscribers have been slowly increasing and are now at 534.

The channel views are now up at 11,121.

My overall video views are now 154,447.

The next video is a collaboration with a very talented canadian musician friend.

And so it was

Monday, May 25th, 2009

It’s Neil Diamond again. I was ploughing through my requests. There were loads more to do, and there were a few Neil Diamond song in there.

The next one up, off the list was “Play Me”. This one has to be in my top 5 Neil songs. I can’t really put my finger on it, but I really like singing it.

See what you think:

In an effort to reduce the Neil songs on the list, the next video is a Neil song too. Then it’s back to other songs.

But until then :)

It always rains on Travis

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

The fact that I had managed to improve the sound in my videos, made me happier with what I was doing. The clarity was so much fresher.

My next pick was from Travis. There are a number of songs of theirs I like, this one is “Why does it always rain on me”. I have a few friends who really like my rendition of this one.

See what you think:

Me singing Why does it always rain on me by Travis

When I started on Youtube, I found it strange, trying to pretend that the camera was a bunch of people. Getting familiar with it was something that was going to take time, but I was slowly getting used to singing to a glass lens :)
