Yes there’s love if you want it

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I did a Sonnet for my ninetheenth video. Actually, it was Sonnet by the Verve. Again this song was taken from the album “Urban hymns”.

As you will probably notice, I was still having issues with the video and audio sync, though that is definitely me singing the song :)

A lot of Verve songs are easy to sing because the note ranges are not too extensive.

Here is my take on this song.

Me singing Sonnet by The Verve

I was getting a number of requests, and a few of these were for Neil Diamond songs, so the next one was one off those. So, until my next post :)

And now for The Verve.

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

I wanted to sing the songs of many bands and artists on Youtube, and choosing the next one to do was quite difficult considering the wide choices I had, but I chose a song from one of my favourite bands in the end. Mainly for one Album. The band was “The verve” and the song was “The drugs dont work”.

I heard that Richard Aschroft wrote this song about his mother’s battle with cancer. Which adds other dimensions to the song as far as emotional content is concerned.

I only really found out the meaning of this song a few years ago, but it’s one I’ve always liked singing. I always assumed it was about love, and not drugs.

So on to my version of this great song. You can see how I handled this song below:

There were other songs by the verve that I enjoyed singing. Much the same as several other bands I like really. With that in mind, it’s not really a shock to discover that I did more that one of their songs :)
