Editors- Weight of the World (Cover) (#6)



At the moment I'm surrounded by toilet paper (I never got the point of tissue paper) with a runny nose, congested throat, and chills running up and down my spine. I'm in my blue argyle robe and blue jeans, listening to Jeremy Larson. The sun's setting already and I've done absolutely nothing except work from 9 to 1. Oh, well, not really nothing. I finished this video song, so that's something I guess.
As of now, this is my least favorite of my video songs. I'm not sure why. It might be the video footage. I just didn't really care about how I looked when I was filming, and you can kind of tell. Haha. Now I kind of regret that.
 I just feel like the whole song was sloppily put together. And I was recording vocals three days ago when this cold thing started coming strong. I refused to let it get the best of me and tried to record what I could. As you can tell, my voice sounds really strained and rusty. Now I can't even sing :/

The two things I like about this song is the violin and the beat. I don't claim to be a violin player. I can't even do a proper tremolo. And most of the time I play either too sharp or too flat (It's so hard to play an instrument without frets!) But with the help of reverb and multiple tries, I think I finally got it to be at least a bit acceptable.
And the beat was kind of fun. I'm going to start experimenting with beat more, I think.
So I don't have that same ecstatic feeling that I had upon finishing I Am Strong last week. Maybe in a couple day's time I can look back on this song and see it for what it's worth. It might be a lot better or a lot worse. We'll see.

I started writing on staff for piano now. I think for my next post I'll photo copy them and distribute to anybody who wants to try to play it. The first person to learn it and post a video on my wall gets a prize! Sure.... let's try something like that.
Thanks for reading
