Me singing Violet hill

November 17th, 2009 by jeffstunes

Now for some cover versions. This one is quite a recent tune, and is called “Violet hill”. It’s taken from the excellent Coldplay album entitled “Viva la vida”.

I had several Coldplay songs lined up to cover, and I chose this as the first of the batch. It was extremely hard to get the falsetto on this song, so I dropped the music by a semitone. Even then I still struggled, but I just about managed it.

It was quite noisy in the skies above my village over the weekend I recorded this. I live a few miles away from a place called Goodwood. They hold a number of annual events and one of them is called “The festival of speed”. So while it was on, I snapped a few of the aircraft from my back garden. I have added those to the vid. All I will say is that one aircraft in particular got extremely close, and it wasn’t the smallest flying object in the world!!!

Check out my cover of this brilliant song, and see my snaps:

The Youtube stats are still moving well.

I now have 721 subscribers in total.

My channel viewings are now up to 16,254.

The overall video views are so close now. 249,532. Barring disasters, it will pass the quarter of a million tomorrow :)

My next one will probably be another Coldplay song. There’s a track on one of their albums that I’ve always wanted to sing :)
