Monday Live

Hello to you all it is monday the 18th of October 2021, I hope that you've had a good weekend!
Today, I managed to find the time to do everything that I was supposed to do, it's very surprising knowing it was a busy day, I put some on my plate, but everything went somewhat smoothly.

I actually forgot the feeling of not working, my wife also works during the weekends, so we don't even know which day is which anymore haha. At the same time, when you constantly working, there is no pain anymore , I can't compare it too what we call in gardening LST (Low stress Technique), which consist of applying a constant tension on a plant to create a stronger plant, well it's the same way, because we're working everyday, there isn't a pain that comes with going back to work again on a monday.
I apply the same rule with working out, I don't take a day off, which means there will be an hour of workout everyday raining or snowing, it's another constant in my life, I also do the same thing about guitar/vocal technique, if you're interested in my method, I wrote a bit about it in May, the 1hour/day rule which helped me improved few things in my life. Don't expect any self helf guru bullshit, just practical shit.

Lee (my wife) and I are really a force to be reckoned with at the moment, when we are in the flow state we can really get things done, she always let me do my thing, by this I mean enabling me to be the best version of myself, by not doing anything to shape me(that's a strange magic at play), though at the moment with the responsability of her job I am trying to do the same thing and be convenient, by not interfering and keeping the kids away from her workflow. There is nothing worse than being focused on something important, only to hear "mummy, I lost my sock" and losing that momentum.

Lately I am trying to be mindful not to stress too much, and most importantly, not to wish bad things to people, I know it sounds a little silly, but I am trying to keep all the vibe positive, and constructive, the world is going to shit, I wonder if it's because of all our bad intentions, subcounsciously.

Today, It was a really sunny day, I thought it could be cool to revisit a song from my first album called "Not A Hero", go next to the apple trees, that we are currently harvesting, I might post about it in a few days.

(Unsupported https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/2fqfbLJBxOFdBSf58VuyZK)

I haven't sung that song for quite a while, being from an album released in 2013, but It went well! The inspiration for the song, was "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles.
The lyrics are a little bit "on the nose", I actually change few things in that version, I was happy to see that I could still reach that falsetto, easy peazy haha.

Not A Hero

Why would I get telling you the truth
What would you see my shield down and my sword too
For the first time I am drunk in a river
For the first time I am drowning in my lies
Tonight let's be honest like an open window
You see all the scratches and the scars that I know
For the first time I am drunk and the reality hurts
For the first time avoiding my cries
For the first time I can't trust my soldiers
When they telling me that the battle is out of sight
I am not a hero but just a weirdo
I am not a hero but just a weirdo, yeah
Just a little pain on my front door
I won't become the master of this world, yeah
For the first time I am drowning in my own words
For the first time I really scuba dive
There's nothing more than a piece of life with you
There's nothing more than a piece of time with you
There's nothing more to say except that I love you
There's nothing more to see except that I blush when you staring at me
I am not a hero but just a weirdo
I am not a hero but just a weirdo
I am not a hero but just a weirdo
I am not a hero but just a weirdo, yeah

Thanks for watching, if you haven't watched thanks for reading, and you aren't reading this, well it means that I don't need to finish the...

Nice song, soothing voice and that's a clean sound for an outdoor recording!

Hey what's up! Thanks very much, I've put a compressor on the audio, and to be fair it was the only take that wasn't too noisy haha. I also try to add gate and noise reduction, but not on this video.

Cheers and thanks again for the awesome comment!

Hahaha. Outdoor recording is always tricky, I play bamboo flutes and sometimes go outside to record and it’s tough to get it clean.m and when I get a clean signal there is always an airplane that ends up flying nearby…

When did you post a video last? I'll come check it out!

Yeah it's the same for me dude, how many times I have to stop because of the sound of a bird, dog, chicken, plane, helicopter, and then there's times when the sound is great, but the performance is shit, so u have to restart. It takes a while, doesn't it?

I understand the struggle. Several times I had to start from scratch because I thought the tracks were recorded well but when listening back to them in the DAW they sounded off or lacking of energy/mood…

My last one was 2 months ago lol:

I’m still working on my next one: Hey Jude. It’s another collaboration with my mate, it’s taking a while to edit because we have recorded so many tracks that it takes a while for audio but also video editing.

I’ve recently released this one on YouTube:

Man, I remember watching yesterday, and really though I answered to you.

That was very cool, not easy to do everything, isn't it?

Let me know when Hey Jude is out!

This actually made me go back to watch😄. And I am happy I did. The environment looks quiet which I love and Yes! The lyrics of the song is nice. I might end up singing "For the first time I am drowning in my own words" in the shower😄

Hahaha, technically you are safe in the shower to sing, and away from drowning too.

Thanks for the compliment bro!

Sup my brother! Ah that's nice dude, both that you enjoyed the song and the commentary. It's not always like that, it's almost like when everyone is playing their part in a group project 😁
