I've spent the last week writing like mad and am really pleased with the results. I'm going to do a new video of one of the new songs soon, but for the moment, there's a new song called 'Waiting For You To Come Home' posted on my website. It's a country-style tear jerker, sort of in the Rascal Flatts style I guess.
Towards the end of last term at my school my Year 10 GCSE set and I were really inspired by a famous video doing the YouTube rounds at the moment. A filmmaker, under the banner 'Playing For Change', has traversed the globe recording street musicians from Johannesburg to Toulouse, San Diego to Moscow and has compiled an entire album of songs carefully put together from his recordings, so that they are playing together, without actually knowing their fellow musicians.
Anyway, we thought we could do this too, and the resulting version of 'Stand By Me', as performed by 16 Year 10 students, is fun! You can download it at my website.
By the way, I'd really welcome comments on these blogs. Is there anyone out there?
Me and Michael Maddocks :)
ReplyDeleteI've downloaded it, and it's definitely something to be proud of!
I've also got your four songs, and they're great (I especially like Mary Lou).
