I think I just found my niche.
I am at the crossroad of music and sunrises. It just makes sense...
I love music, I love sunrises, I guess combining both was just obvious. It's going to require to go to bed late, to record the song, and then wake up early to catch the first ray of lights.
For a split second I thought I was alone in the universe, and this was just a show made for me. The waves are also making music, their own symphony.
Chandelier...
This song has been haunting me for years. I actually sang it last week at the gig I just did thanks to Aishlin, and I've wanting to do something special for it, for a loooong, loooong time.
I didn't want to waste that bullet, and everything had to be perfect.
It's been raining for a number of days, I got sick, but when it stopped at night, I started recording, laying ideas, for my version of Chandelier.
It's a really good, well written song. The lyrics are profound, very relatable, and sung perfectly by Sia. She wrote the song in 40 minutes, can you believe it...
What's the point of doing a cover if you can't do something different and special?
I don't want to do Karaoke.
So I thought and I thought, and I thought of a way to build up the song for a male singer, start with the basses, intimate.
Then halfway through the song, when "the sun is up", moving one octave up, and finishing the song full chest.
The guitar will have to be rhythmic, but still "spacey", giving that impression of immensity. One guitar will play the rhythm, the other will solo in response to the vocals.
The backing vocals will have to come progressively, starting with just a 3rd, then adding layers. Never should they be intrusive, just here to support the main vocal.
I can feel that it's about time...
I am mad at myself, because I should have always put that much effort in everything that I do. I can't do less than that now, it will be criminal of me to do so.
Pouring your soul into something, it's almost like creating an orcrux, an artefact that will defeat time. It's like a mantra that will help you manifest your wildest dreams.
So here universe, this is me, just do as you will with it.
Hahaha so dramatic you diva...
Maybe just enjoy the moment for what it is, let the magic manifest itself, this is when you can really take it all in, enjoy the silence as much as the sounds...
[Verse 1]
Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down
I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
[Pre-Chorus]
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count
[Chorus]
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
[Post-Chorus]
But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
[Verse 2]
Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame

One, two, three, one, two, three, drink

So for those that aren't familiar with who I am, I do some music, and the song I've been mentioning the entire post, you can play it just down here ⤵️
You can also just say "Nice sunrise", it's alright 😁, but play the damn song...Pleeeaaaase? 😘
Oh no!
The pictures are amazing 👏
I can feel the coolness of the breeze, with the gentle waves of the ocean.... no no no its evening already, the ocean waves are mad and tides are crazy by this time 😅 and the level of the waters have increased tremendously.
Still yet, your shots were great.
The arrangement of your music is so brilliant. I love the movement from the "intimate" deep male voice to the "full chest" when you went all out with your voice. That's so brilliant and the guitars stood out.
A wonderful piece 👏
I love the level of imagination! This was exactly how you described it! 😄
Hey that's nice of you, thanks for the great comment friend ^^
Take care!
Ooooh I loved this musical concept so much, I would even try to record something like this, I have the beach very close by. I'm glad to hear that you've come to a place that fills you with so much calm and that you can make music in such a wonderful way.
Thanks for stopping by Music!
Hello my friend @eugelys how are you doing?
Totally as you say, if you can find the calmness around you, you can find it in within yourself 😄! And then you can hear it in the music too!
Thanks for stopping by eugelys!
A beautiful song written in 40 minutes? Man, that's really amazing from this artist. I've been listening to this song for days out there, your version is interesting, you really know how to express the subdued beauty of a deep voice.
Bro, the sunrises are wonderful, I can't deny it, too bad I can't enjoy them much because I wake up late 😆 but it really is an excellent self-initiative you're taking Ed, besides, that beach is beautiful!!! 🤩 It must feel good to be there right?
Always a pleasure to hear from you brother, exlente cover and beautiful pictures! 🙌🙏🎼🎵🎊💥👌🍻🎆👊💯🎶👏😃💥
Thanks, it's a haunting song. The way she sings it almost screaming it, there's a true despair in her version.
I also love the music video with the choreography.
Hahaha wait until you got kids, and you'll never sleep again!
Thanks so much for the kind word, I always love your spirit, such a refreshing ray of light in a world full of darkness 😛
Yes, I imagine that if I have a child maybe enjoying sunrises won't be a problem anymore hahahaha. Thanks to you for the music Bro and your beautiful words that also give a lot of encouragement! Blessings. 🙏😃
Sunrise over the sea, it doesn't get much better than that Ed xx
I remember you singing this, when you started I thought, wow this is a big song and usually sung quite high. But you made it your own and it was so good. I agree, best to make it your own. I hope all is well. Give that beautiful family of yours all my love and to you too xxxxx
Yeah totally, I tried something different for once, it was very interesting to explore.
It reminds me of that version of "The Sound Of Silence" by this metal band, the singer starts very low with "Hello darkness my old friend", and it hits in a different way than the original. That's what I had in mind...
And likewise, it was great to hear from you today! Enjoy your excursion!!
What a fantastic sunset , amazing photos and video. The sound is amazing well done!
