73rd video
It's the 2nd of 3 songs written by Mick Paul and I a while back, that I have selected to upload. Ths one shows off Mick's Bass skills a bit. I wanted acoustic guitar and Bass only in this, and I think it turned out very well. The vocals are a little off key in places. This song, and most of the others written with Mick. were 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 video to discover it. 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:
Played 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, he did some session work for the B.B.C. and for a various number of publishers.

and more..
I'll provide a link to his recording studio website:
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 :)

Coming next is the third of the old original songs, featuring Mick Paul.
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's good enough, it can go on the album.
