As I mentioned, I've fallen for the pressure!
Been playing this song occasionally. A Macca classic, love the simple arrangement, that is actually not so simple! Love the Wings harmonies and the bass is stunning . BUT I just did this with my portable handheld recording device, for the fun of it, no fixing done, live track, with a basic mix...
SO, hope you have the patience to listen to this simple track, as I said, love the song, and would anyone like to try to record any harmonies, I won't say no!

This is such a pretty tune, and you did a great job with it! You have a great style, and your voice has a very special quality to it, imo
Thanks Claudia for you feedback!!
BT, the song is a great little tune, never understood why it wasn't released until 1990...
now I understand... It's a outtake of Wild Life... It's like why Christian Pop, Yvonne (The One), The Mist of Central Park, etc are not still released when they are "classics" level... that can only happen with Paul McCartney. When I played your recording someone was around here and asked to me "is that someone famous?" and I though for a moment and said... "no" and that someone said "but he sounds like if he was someone famous"
Which is, yet, one more reson why we wall wish B had pursued that American Idol opportunity in Sweden. He's a star and doesn't even realize it.
Oh, I think he realises he's a rock star. He's just too shy. Next time he has to try to be the next Swedish Idol!
well, the long and winding road is very long and very winding... I don't know what is his but I hope he finds it (if he really wants to find it). I love this song "You can't run away forever..." Rock And Roll Dreams Come Trough-Meatloaf
You can't run away forever But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start You want to shut out the night You want to shut down the sun You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart Thing of how wed lay down together Wed be listening to the radio so loud and so strong Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs I treasure your love I never want to lose it Youve been through the fires of hell And I know youve got the ashes to prove it I treasure your love I want to show you how to use it Youve been through a lot of pain in the dirt And I know youve got the scars to prove it Remember everything that I told you Well Im telling you again that it's true When you're alone and afraid And you're completely amazed To find there's nothing anybody can do Keep on believing And you'll discover baby There's always something magic There's always something new And when you really, really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through The beat is yours forever The beat is always true And when you really, really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through...for you... Once upon a time was a backbeat Once upon a time all the chords came to life And the angels had guitars even before they had wings If you hang on to a chorus you get through the night I treasure your love I never want to lose it Youve been through the fires of hell And I know youve got the ashes to prove it I treasure your love I want to show you how to use it Youve been through a lot of pain in the dirt And I know youve got the scars to prove it Remember everything that I told you Well Im telling you again that it's true Youre never alone cause you can put on the phones And let the drummer tell your heart ehat to do Keep on believing And you'll discover baby There's always something magic There's always something new And when you really, really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through The beat is yours forever The beat is always true And when you really, really need it the most That's when rock and roll dreams come through...for you... -
Guys, I've just realized something: It was two years ago this month that I'd recorded my first GW contribution, Bjorn's version of "Mamunia." Our latest, "Mama's Little Girl," is a fitting project.

Meatloaf is too, too, too, tooooooo dramatic for me.

yes, of course he is, too much dramatic for me too... but I like the song itself anyway.
And he's even more dramatic live.

The experiment of plugging instruments in that karaoke-pub finished as that... an experiment.
There was no way of plugging the keyboard and amplify it. There was some kind of amp to plug the guitar. But it had no distortion and the high notes were virtually not amplified either ("It fell on the water"), so all there was left to do is to play the guitar like if it was a bass... so, well (after jamming around).. I sang Hey Jude playing guitar chords (sounding like a bass), and the thing is don't notice much the difference between sheer karaoke and traditional performance, like grabbing a keyboard or guitar and sing (open mic nights). The only difference for me is playing some chords... so, well... as there's virtually no place here to play in a traditional way, I think I'll keep on liking karaokes...

Do you not have open mic nights over there then? They are pretty much an institution here especially in the town where I last worked (and now go back for for the music...long journey but worth it) Before I started going I didn't realise just how much really great music you could discover in this way.

footage? do you mean video taken from singing at karaokes? No, I don't think so, the audio would not be very good. For better audio I already post sometimes the "impossible duets" things, that's kind of the same that karaoke.

Well, no. I searched for them and I only found 2 or 3 places. And I thought all of them were English or Irish pubs... Playing in a open mic night is veeeery complicated here. I gave some of my stuff to those few places but I never received an answer. Anyway... I'm not attracted to play only one night. It's like... I'm gonna learn all the lyrics, the songs, etc. ... for just one night. I'd like to play with some kind of regularity.
-
Wow it's quite different here. There are places that have them regularly, one place I go to has them every Sunday night. It's usually the same people that play each weekend including some of my friends. From there, they then had the opportunity to play a lot of gigs, some quite big at various festivals and Band contests.

yeah I know, here in Spain is very different

for Elvis fans... an impossible duet... not me... Elvis and Paul-Heartbreak Hotel
Paul with Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana-That's Allright Mama (the closest thing to a Beatle-Elvis reunion recording) -
well, I don't use to check my website stats but I've just taken a look... And there's a file that has 40000 hits or so... nothing like the others... but, as far as I remember, I only posted it here. I don't know what happened... "I'd like to know, so here I go again..." www.oliversanz.com/madworld.mp3
-
I think those hits come from... China!
well... that Karaoke I went it's not what it used to be... the guy that set the sound there doesn't work there anymore... so it's not the same at all. There was a time when that was a special place where people sang great and had fun. this video is for those days

I don't know if someone here submits their stuff to managers or record labels and similars. I sometimes do, and I've never got any kind of feedback (except for the Meat Free Monday thing). I've recently submitted some stuff to managers here in Barcelona, and I now have reached the figure of 250 rejections.
I know The Beatles were rejected kind of 200 times (Beatles bios...), so I wanted to beat that figure.
Well, not that I wanted, but if they tried 200 times, I wanted to try at least the same times, and I'm happy I'm still trying after 250. I do not know if I should stop counting after the MFM, that makes me very happy but it's not about music business really. Does anybody know of some higher "rejection figures" for anyone?
