You are - An Original

This song was recorded before all the other Original songs I’ve uploaded to 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 one for entering competitions, but my local pub decided to put on a karaoke competition, and all my friends kept on at me to enter it. I was reluctant at first, but they kept on at me, and I eventually 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 my grey cells lighting up. I asked him if it was alright if I recorded one of my own songs. He agreed, and seemed quite excited about it.

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 those nine songs, and it’s 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.

Here it is. “You are”
