Video 54. You are
2008-03-24
This song was recorded before all the other Original songs I've uploaded to youtube. It was recorded about 4 years ago. It was recorded in a studio in West Worthing.
Here's the story behind it.
I am not really one for entering competitions, but my local pub decided to put on a karaoke competition, and all my friends kept on at me to enter it. I was reluctant at first, but they kept on at me, and I eventually 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 guy who ran the studio came up to me and asked me what song I wanted to do, so that he could get the backing. That got me thinking. I asked him if it was ok if I did one of my own compositions. He was very happy about that, and even seemed excited.
In the end, I ended up being in the studio for a few weeks. I paid for all the extra time myself. I ended up recording nine of my own 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 couple of people commented on why it seems to finish in a strange way. I wanted to make sure I left the end hanging, to signify that the story is only part way through.
This is "You are"
