Me singing Violet hill

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Now for some cover versions. This one is quite a recent tune, and is called “Violet hill”. It’s taken from the excellent Coldplay album entitled “Viva la vida”.

I’ve got a number of Coldplay songs lined up to do, and this is the first out of that selection. I really struggled with the falsetto in this one, so I had to take the music down a key. Even then I still struggled, but I just about managed it.

It was quite noisy in the skies above my village over the weekend I recorded this. I live a few miles away from a place called Goodwood. They hold a number of annual events and one of them is called “The festival of speed”. So while it was on, I snapped a few of the aircraft from my back garden. I have added those to the vid. All I’m going to say is that one in particular got very close, and it wasn’t a small aircraft!!!

Check out my cover of this brilliant song, and see my snaps:

The Youtube stats are still moving well.

I now have 721 subscribers in total.

My channel viewings are now up to 16,254.

The total viewings of all my videos are a shave away from that milestone. 249,532. If nothing drastic happens, it should pass the quarter of a million tomorrow morning :)

It’s quite likely that my next song will be another Coldplay tune. I’ve got my eyes on an album track from a few years ago :)
