Bursting at the seams
This is the second of three songs written by Mick Paul and I several years ago, that I have chosen to put on youtube. Ths one shows off Mick’s Bass skills a bit. I just wanted acoustic guitar and Bass in this, and I think it worked quite well. The vocals drift off key in a couple of places. This song, and most of the others were only written hours before they were recorded, so I’m not really surprised at the mistakes.
The song is about a very dark subject, though I’m not going to tell you here. You’ll have to watch the vid to find out. I reveal the meaning near the end of the video. It gives a completely new angle on the words.
Returning to Mick. Here is some information on the history so far of this very talented guy:
He performed on 2 singles in 1970.
Joined “The Hotshots” in 1973. They had a number 4 hit.
Joined “Union express” in 1974 and toured Europe for 2 years.
From 1978, did session work for the BBC and various publishers.
He was also an in-house bass player at Abbeydale studios in West London.
He co-wrote the Labour Party campaign song in 1987.
Joined “More tea vicar in 1990.
He wrote and performed on a single called “Aquarius” for Yello records, produced by Tyrrell.
He played bass on the “David Hasselhoff” single “If we could only say goodbye” (Yes. It’s The Hoff).
and there is more..
I’ll give a web link to his recording studio in West Worthing, southern England:
Mick is the person doing all the music in this song. He also did the music for the song in the previous post, and the next post I do.
Anyway. This one is called “Losing my mind”. I hope you enjoy it, and the Bass 
Now for the Youtube stuff.
A rise in my subs to 692.
Channel views are now at 15,540.
The overall vid views are 237,970. Still on target to hit a quarter of a million by the 17th of July. climbing at about a thousand views a day.
Next up is the third and final upload of my three old original songs.
I’m still working hard on the album. I had a song in my head, as I was waking up yesterday. A strange way to discover a song, but I thought it was very good. So I’m going to put it together to see what it sounds like, and if it makes the grade, then I’ll consider putting it on my album.
