First of all an apology. Yesterday I uploaded this video in, what I believe was, high end quality format. I didn’t know that iMovie had the option of exporting to lower the quality. Therefore saving space for my media allowance. My Media is quite heavy on photograph inclusions already.

So I want to say apologies to those that commented yesterday.

SO HERE IS A LITTLE GIFT FOR YOU. BEFORE YOU LISTEN TO THE UPBEAT PREVIOUS VIDEO VERSION……

Going through the Motions has been a line used on occasions when writing songs over the decades. Just some words to try and hang some tune on that may suddenly spring into view. I still have no decent tune yet though. It will arrive……I have faith.

The video content has changed too. This morning I added a few layers.

FIRSTLY….ADDED SOME KEYBOARD SOUNDS. ALSO SOME EXTRA DRUMMING AND EGG SHAKERS. T’WAS MUCH FUN. I PLAYED ON MY INDIAN DOUBLE ENDED DRUM. NEVER REALLY SURE IF IT IS A PAKHAWAJ OR A MRIDANGAM DRUM. IT SOUNDS RATHER LIKE BONGOS. RAISED THE DRUM NOISE I MADE IN THE GAP PART….

SECONDLY……THIS BELOW IS AN EXTRACT FROM YESTERDAYS BLOG POST.

TODAY I MADE UP A QUICK SONG. NONSENSE LYRICS. BUT IT CAN BE USED TO TEST OUT DIFFERENT LAYERING OF VOCALS. DIFFERENT LYRICS COULD GIVE A CALL AND RESPONSE OR DIFFERENT VIEW POINTS. AS AN OBSERVATION. I WAS WATCHING A QUIZ TYPE PROGRAMME (TIPPING POINT) AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS ‘WHO’S PHRASE IS ‘Yeah Baby’?’ AUSTIN POWERS OF COURSE. STRANGE HOW YOU CAPTURE ODDITIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND THEY PLANT THEMSELVES INSIDE YOUR BRAIN SUBLIMINALLY. 

AND SO………LET’S JUST DANCE………Yeah Baby.

Baby, baby I don’t wanna dance

But maybe I won’t get a second chance

So baby…… let’s (just) dance.

You love to rock and roll

But I love the blues

(We can work it out)

You with yours

And me with mine

You’ll be good

And I’ll be fine.
