An Original - You are

by jeffstunes @ 2008-03-24 - 17:30:47

This song was recorded before all the other Original songs I've uploaded to youtube. I did this one 4 years ago. It was recorded in a studio in West Worthing.

Here is the tale 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. There was a qualifying round, and a final. To cut a long story short, I won the competition.

The prize for winning, was a day in a recording studio. 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 agreed, and seemed quite excited about it.

I ended up spending a few weeks in the studio. Paying for the extra time myself. So it wasn't just one song I came out with. I ended up recording 9 of my 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. The idea behind that was that the story is not over yet, so I wanted to leave the song hanging, so as to speak.

Here it is. "You are"


Here's the usual Youtube stats digest :).
I now have 499 Subscribers. So, so close to 500 now.
My channel views are at 10,913. Almost at 11k.
Finally the total video views are 140,131.

The next post covers an awesome REM song. One of my favourites :)
