I found an instrumental track of One Track Lover and I couldn't help trying it out.  I've been sitting on this for quite a while actually, but I recently started working on a mix.  Just a bit of fun in tribute to Mr. Berry.  This song is really the reason I became a fan of his.  

Here's the original instrumental track: https://soundcloud.com/silverwood-sound/one-track-lover-instrumental

One Track Lover - Final

Back in 2007 I was lucky to win some studio time with Emmy award winning Kevin Sharpe at his Metro 37 Studio.  I recorded a few songs that were in my head at the time.  This was my only outlet.

03 Breathe (2am)

This was a project a client contracted me for their talent number at Continental.  I was overjoyed, because I had had this karaoke track for years, but I never recorded it.  The biggest challenge to this was getting the male voices. The first time out I hired someone from fiverr.  I kept trying to explain what I wanted and I even gave him the original song so he would have an idea.  He gave me three run throughs, but I still didn't really like his performance.  He just didn't get it, but the preliminary draft I came up with for my client was somewhat serviceable and she was amenable to it.   I got an idea to ask a couple of personalities I know from youtube and to my elation, they said yes!  They recorded their lines and emailed them to me.  Their voices were exactly the right color that I needed!  They were perfect!

Putting It Together  final draft- 01

This is a song I did for Youtube streamer Charie Blossom.  It wasn't commissioned, I just did it for fun!  GO GO Charie Blossom was a thing on her channel and that Power Rangers theme got stuck in my head so the only way to get it out was to record it. I found an instrumental version of the Power Rangers theme on Youtube and that is the music track I used to record this.  Charie liked it so much she used it on her stream!

GO GO Charie Blossom!

As I looked at my project file it's a year to the day since I began this.  June 3, 2017.  I began this when quite by accident I found the original instrumental track of the Beatles She's Leaving Home From the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.  June 1, 2017 was the 50 year anniversary of the album.  This is the actual original instrumental track that Paul McCartney recorded his vocals to.  For some reason I have been sitting on this for a year and haven't released it.  I'm not sure if this will stay up because I'm using the original track, so enjoy it while it's here.

She's Leaving Home - Final 1

As Thanksgiving approaches, a lot of my friends are sharing things that they are thankful for.  I wanted to share this.  A year ago today I received a phone call From Geoff Lloyd, a presenter on Absolute Radio in London.  He was calling to talk to me about my participation in the worlds first crowd-sourced Christmas single.   A Christmas Song by Matt Berry and Everyone.  As we spoke, much to my surprise, Matt himself was added to the conversation and they informed me that I was chosen to be the lead vocalist on the single.  I was already over the moon about the phone call, but to be told that?  My first thought was "Are you kidding me?"  I was totally gobsmacked!  Out of left field!  I just wanted to be a part of the mix.  I got involved in the project because this was a creation by Matt Berry of whom I am a great admirer. Creative genius!  He paints such rich tapestries and creates brilliant and wonderful little worlds with his music, I considered myself just lucky to be thrown in at all. Eventhough everyone who sent in a submission was included,  I never thought that that would happen, lol.  I just wanted to blend into the background.   This was the first time I ever heard the song.  When it was over, I could barely comprehend what Geoff was asking me because I was just floored.  I am very grateful and proud to have been a part of this project that helped raise money for Shelter the housing and homeless charity in the UK.  http://www.shelter.org.uk/ , and I am thankful to Matt for allowing me to play a part.  

If you want to see the video which I, along with everyone else is featured here's the link: http://youtu.be/AWGIA4IByG4  If you like the single, there is an iTunes link on the youtube page.  All proceeds go to benefit Shelter

The best phone call I ever got...feat. Geoff Lloyd & Matt Berry 11-18-11

Found an instrumental track of this.  I dug this tune so much that I thought I'd take a stab at it.  A little tribute to the 2x!
