Etta James is really awesome

Tried to work on rhythm and chords but ended up overplaying 😂 This was one of the first few takes. 

I didn’t expect to enjoy singing this old and technically difficult song so much. 

I love the nuances of soul - the belly emanating growls, melodic lines, phrasing intended to sound like spoken word, pushing out air and pulling in sound, the runs….

A Sunday Kind of Love - Etta James

Late night karaoke with corinne bailey rae

There is no fear in music (or rather fear has no hiding place in music)and the lyrics to this song cannot be more apt to this life's phase. One take. Forgive the lack of rhythm!! :'(

True colours - Tom Odell version

Just felt like uploading some content. The mediocrity remains comedic. 

the past few days have been a roar, a blur, a haze. 
cooling vietnamese joint seeped in orange glow with a silent beating pulse 
beer poured tea cups. a syncopated silence. an indulgence of presence. waves of nostalgia and fleeting flashes of childhood. warmth of family and time-coated bonds. 
anguish engulfs, sickly stomach bubbles stubbornly 
day dawns. the dim hum of office activity. persistence of a responsible kiddo birthing new hope and secret joys. 
a crash. a hiss. a false plan. idyllic wanderings, our words stolen by the wind, lost forever to the expanse of the air. our hearts beating, warm, often coming into contact, seeing them fill up space metaphysically and in the recesses of my soul, growing there and forming shape. one day  tangible enough for me to plunge my hand into, close in and grasp. 
the eyesore and the wish-u-werent-here-why-r-u-here taking a walk with me by the beach. the impossibility of escaping the known and the loved. corners of a smile. unadulterated 
the cool relief of lunch and a human i am starting to receive..

Cant Help Feeling Like This Today (a little twist on elvis)

Groovy numbers always naturally connect to my soul. Imagining myself shaking my hands and legs to this number with an imaginary electric guitar. Wishing to let go more and to turn up the jazz. Possessed with the memory of watching san cisco live (they did a cover of this song on utube), i am telling myself, sometimes need to remind ourselves that there is a song in our heart of hearts, so posting this shitty recording to hear my song.

The song right now sounds tired. 

Maybe I can play percussion to this song one day.

Get lucky - daft punk cover

遗憾 mavis hee cover

All the love thats hanging 
Draping down like curtains in the wind
Wrapping round our figures 
Smelling like the first few drops of spring
Oh how i keep on wishing
Wishing i cld be much more for you
Feel a dawn rising 
Rising up for us 


Untitled

and i saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
until the landslide brought me down 
oh, mirror in the sky what is love
can the child within my heart rise above
can i sail through the changing ocean tides
can i handle the seasons of my life. 

poetry!!!

1h of learning and playing the song
