so I decided I'll film a new cover this week.


after sifting through a lot of (awesome) suggestions on twitter, I decided to go for a golden oldie - everywhere by the ever-magical fleetwood mac. I've always loved this song, especially the groove.. (you may remember my song 'human' from my first EP, which definitely took inspiration from this drum groove!). 


when I do a new video now, cover or original I usually make a sketch of it in advance, beats and bits mapped out, if there are any.. and then learn the words and try a couple takes over it. these takes are never used for anything, they just serve as a way of me learning the track better; I usually put the rough sketch of the song on my phone and I can be sat on the bus, hammering the lyrics into my head and thinking about whether there are any parts I can improve! for all my vids this year i've really enjoyed spreading the video-making process over a couple days like this.. having time to sit with something is a real luxury and the fun/weird little changes I make to make the cover my own are born in this limbo between having the sketch and actually making the video!


anyway, here's a vid I hope to make this week, just the first verse and chorus from the rough sketch. I'm sick of my bedroom so I think I might brave the cold and film it in a lil forest near my house. if you've any suggestions for how I could improve it do let me know!


have a lovely tuesday peeps

13 November 2017 / 1600 EST MeiGuo Note to Artist OG re ‘lifeline’ (original song) Dear Orla, Much more “falls out of” you than your words. Vigor does too...flowing out of you, flying from you, filling space around me, whirling around me as wind does drifts. Invigorating vigor does. You apply energetic emphasis to your words...words with unique, internal rhyming schemes as “Nightmare...right there”, and “...surrendered...remembered” ...writing that your word play is wonderful is wholly inadequate. All of this piece really represents the experience each has or had or will have, hence the beautiful, blatant universality of it...our hearts flashing with feelings from an excruciating, painful moment to one filled with renewed confidence just as you jump from note to note and word to word phrase, and then the intensity grows as the way it does during an actual feeling battle...and then the scream of “I” flys from you...your roar raptures...fantastic singing emphasis sending me to fight moments, me not convincing her she caused the cliff catastrophe. There is confusion and clarity included here, weakness and assertiveness demonstrated here, past and present interactions juxtaposed here-all of it a mirror to the time this engulfed me, others, all of us at least once...my analysis is that this work of you is equal in caliber to a Shakespearean sonnet: unique word selection, carefully placed rhyming schemes, effective use of repetition, realism in emphasis, metaphor continuity, instrument integration and even curious pronunciations demand my assertion. Some may dispute it because William has been chained to a pedestal for centuries. The argument here is a cogent one because you have created a commanding, complex piece, and I shall be in love with it without end. jakob beda
