This is the fourth out of five original songs on the trot. This song started out as an instrumental song written by a wonderfulSwedishmusician called "Ulf Pettersson". When I heard the instrumental I could imagine words being sung over the top of it. I put this idea to Ulf and he was very positive about me trying to make something out of it. Ulf liked a lot of the stuff I did on my own, and there's...
This is the third of 5 Original songs, and it goes by the name of "She freaks". It came out of an afternoon of experimental jamming with my pal "Steve Morgan". I ha written a rough template for the tune previously, and by the conclusion of events, we had a complete song. It's another one of those songs about a couple in a relationship. One of them being placid and the other being flighty. I'm sure...
This song also didn't make it to the "Sight Or Sound" Album. It is entitled "Movement". I was asked to compose something about the state of the world, by a friend. I considered that so many people had writtensongs about that, so I decided to do it from the viewpoint of an animal. We sometimes use the movements of animals to help us to detect things, because they just seem to know. Here is the result...
Now for some stuff written by me. This is the first of a string of original songs that didn't make it to the album for some reason or other. There are 30 second sound samples for all tracks that are on the album "Sight Or Sound" at: Sight Or Sound - Jeff Edwards Amazon and Ruckus also list this album. More to follow. 10 of the songs are in full on my Youtube channel, and the other 5 are not. The...
82 videos done now. This latest one is my cover of the full version of "Run" by "Snow patrol". A number of people have asked me to do this, and I didn't recognise the song by the name alone, but when I found it and played it, I knew it straight away. I think the song is great. I have used pictures of roads, paths and lighting to set the mood of the video. It's just a slideshow again :) I hope you...
Now to the 81st video. This was another request, and it's "Afternoons and coffee spoons" by "The crash test dummies". I felt I wanted to do something a little cheeky with the video. You see many people singing behind locked doors, using whatever is available as a mic. Well, I went a bit further than that :) See what you think of my version of "Afternoons and coffee spoons". There's a role call of...
There are two major things I want to cover in this post. One is a song on someone else's Youtube channel, and the other is the release of my first album "Sight Or Sound". I'm going to talk about the album first. Yesterday, Sight Or Sound went on sale. Though only through CDBaby at the moment. Apparently it can take from a week to a few months to be available in all other areas. That's ITunes, Amazon...
Now I'm going to get all acoustic. This is the final song of my Dad's favourites selection. There are lots of songs he adored, but I thought I'd do only a series of three. I might do some more in the future. This particular song is called "Baby can I hold you tonight". Boyzone did a well known cover version of this song, but I still prefer the original which was by "Tracy Chapman". It sits on an album...
This is the second of three songs in tribute to my father who passed away recently. It's my cover of Through the barricades, originally by Spandau ballet. If you didn't know what it was about, I'll tell you. It's about the troubles in Northern Ireland. See what you think. I mentioned I was going to say a few things about my dad's life, and so I will. I only know a small part of what happened in...
I haven't done any posts in a while, due to the fact that my father died recently. He reached the age of 70 years, which was an achievement in itself, considering he was an alcoholic. It was the addiction to alcohol that finished him off. I failed to see him before he passed away. He did his usual disappearing act, before booking himself into hospital. He died only a day later. He had a very colourful...
