Friday,Jul 4 2008, 07:05:55 PM I've seen it all before
This is the second of three songs written by Mick Paul and I several years ago, that I have selected to upload. Ths one shows off Mick's Bass skills a bit. I just wanted acoustic guitar and Bass in this, and I think it worked quite well. The vocals drift off key in a couple of places. This song, and most of the others were only written hours before they were recorded, so I'm not really surprised at the mistakes.
The song is about a very dark subject, though I'm not going to tell you here. You'll have to watch the vid to find out. I reveal the meaning at the end. It puts a whole new angle on the lyrics.
Getting back to Mick. Here's some information on this very talented guy:
Played on 2 singles in 1970.
He joined "The Hotshots" in 1973. They got to number 4 in the british chart with one of their releases.
Joined "Union express" in 1974 and toured Europe for 2 years.
From 1978, did session work for the BBC and various publishers.
Did a stint as an in-house bass player at Abbeydale studios in West London.
He co-wrote the Labour Party campaign song in 1987.
Joined "More tea vicar in 1990.
Wrote and played on a single called "Aquarius" for Yello records, which was produced by Tyrrell.
He played bass on the "David Hasselhoff" single "If we could only say goodbye" (Yes. It's The Hoff).
and there is more..
I'll give a web link to his recording studio in West Worthing, southern England:
This is the guy doing all the music in this song. The previous song, and the next song.
The title of this song is "Losing my mind". I hope you like it, and the Bass playing :)
Now here is the latest youtube account stats.
A rise in my subs to 692.
The Channel views are 15,540.
The total video views are now at 237,970. Still on schedule to reach a quarter of a million by the 17th. Rising at roughly a thousand views a day.
Next up is the third and final upload of my three old original songs.
I'm still beavering away on my album. I had a song in my head, as I was waking up yesterday. A strange way to discover a song, but I thought it was very good. I'm going to put the track together to see what it sounds like in real life, and if it's good enough, it can go on the album.
