You are - An Original

This song was recorded before all the other originals I’ve put up on 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 a fan of entering competitions, but my local pub ran a karaoke comp, and all my friends kept on urging me to go in for it. I refused at first, but they wore me down, and I entered. There was a qualifying round, and a final. To cut a long story short, I won the competition.

The first prize was a day in a recording studio, to record one song. 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. So it wasn’t just one song I came out with. I ended up recording 9 of my 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 :)

All the music was performed by the “Mick”, the studio owner (his main instrument was the Bass Guitar). This is one of the songs from that collection. It’s a song called “You are”.

A few people mentioned to me about how strange they thought the song ended. The idea behind that was that the story is not over yet, so I wanted to leave the song hanging, so as to speak.

This is “You are”
