Great use of vocal harmonies and doubling as well as movie titles! Expertly designed and immense fun.

Lot of great hooks: intriguing lyrics, melody has a nice hook, really like the vocals over silence, nice guitar rhythm.

A song of beautiful sentiments written by Beth Nielsen Chapman performed by myself and Laura. Laura superbly taking the lead vocal, her vocal is so clear and true, shades of Kate Rusby but as we’re finding more and more her sound is her own and uniquely belongs to Laura Savina. The guitar part is simply a single track too played finger style (Artey Style) on my Pierre Bensusan signature six string Lowden. Please repost it if you like how we’ve done this.

I FIND YOUR LOVE - Beth Neilsen Chapman Cover

I wrote this song after having visited the city for the first time. I was struck by the vastness of it all. That everything can happen at once. Just turning a courner.

Bits & Pieces

New York Rainy Day

I've been watching Music Tech Help Guy(https://www.youtube.com/@MusicTechHelpGuy)YouTube tutorials on how to use Logic Pro. The guy is a legend; I'm only 9 tutorials in and I've spent the last night of the year creating this wee lullaby using my own loops created using a midi keyboard. 

I came up with the melody and then just repeated a phrase over and over. Simple, but I'm blown away by how easy it is to create my own loops. 

Off for a glass to celebrate and see in the New Year - Happy New Year!

Hush

Was watching 'Sprung', the comedy series this week, and this song featured in the soundtrack. I hadn't heard it for years. Couldn't get it out of my head. Wondered what it would sound like with some shruti box accompaniment. The rest is history. 
Feeling proper chuffed with myself as I played everything and sang at the same time, using the footpedal for my shruti. (Now I just need to be able to do it with people watching!)

Barefoot and Fly demo

Written by Paul Reisler and Angela Kaset. Recorded by  Paul Reisler & A Thousand Questions

If I were free
I would answer any question
With a brush stroke upon canvas
And my words would all fall out in poetry
I would sing to you a sunset
Draw your face inside a symphony

If I were free 
I would flee this world of sidewalks
Run barefoot up the mountain
Stand naked as a lover, breathlessly
I would lose my way by moonlight
And wake to find you sleeping next to me
If I were free

If I were free
If I were free
Free to fly
Free to fall
Safe within the mystery
Of it all

If I were free
I would kiss you like a snowflake
Rain on you in roses
Fearlessly stand back and let you be
For God above and all the world to see
If I were free
