Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd is a good uplifting song.

Re: JULY FSOTM – UPLIFTING AND OR COMEDY

I wrote this song last year which is somewhat comedic, based on a true imaginary story of a spider jumping on me:

I'm still missing a third verse, so suggestions are welcomed!

Cheers

Re: JULY FSOTM – UPLIFTING AND OR COMEDY

Hey good to see you Jets, haven't seen you in a while on here.   How about covering that song you mentioned? or writing one for this month? smile

neophytte, that was great, really enjoyed it.  Liked the lyrics, the way you sang in it, including the little speaking bit haha and of course guitar wise, it suited the song very much.  Look forward to hearing the next verse.  Maybe you could write more about your reaction in the 3rd verse or make up something that happened for a 3rd verse smile

Thanks - it took a bit of extra effort to set up, mix down, and do the video editing; but it does make it look a bit better. I might try and mix one of the other songs I did the same way ..

Cheers

Re: JULY FSOTM – UPLIFTING AND OR COMEDY

Jan these were awesome  - I especially liked the campfire song.  It is always great to hear your beautiful singing voice.

I would love to hear you sing an original if you have one.

Thanks for sharing

Re: JULY FSOTM – UPLIFTING AND OR COMEDY

TIGLJK, thanks for having a listen and comments smile   Sadly, I haven't had time to write any songs, it's been hard enough getting time to record covers.   Hoping to do more now the painting is finished, though more painting awaits in the future.  Maybe you could write a parody suitable for me to attempt?  You're the man with the writing skills smile

neophytte and easybeat, thanks both of you for taking time to have a listen and your comments as well smile
