STUDIO FRIDAY!❣️
Hellouuuuuuuu
Moew... I don't know how to speak anymore! Did I just meow?
I meant, "graaaawl".
It's been a long journey for this song, and if you are wondering why it looks like I am living in a gigantic womb, it was an aesthetic choice, more on this later on, as for the time that it is right now, it seems like the most sensible decision to make, just put a filter on it.
I wanted to cover this song for quite a while, my daughter likes the original song very much, and I personally found it amusing at most, which is a compliment coming from me, the master, Ed.
I like to deconstruct songs, I take pleasure in breaking them down, strip them of their foundation, and rebuild from the ground up.
It's a painful slow and sometimes sad process, especially for the people around me, I really believe that the torturing part is what makes it more satisfying at the end, and that I can't force it, it needs to come with time, bim bam one morning, I just knew I had to tackle this biatch.
The original song is by Joel Corry x MNEK which I kid you not, are two people's name.
I didn't know that I would go with some dirty funky funk, though it came to me on day 12 I guess, or maybe it was a loop I heard first, it doesn't matter now, it's a damn funk, don't go listen to the original, it's not worth it, it should always have been a funk.
All the instruments are played by this guy, it's produced by Ed, it's directed by a private company called myself.
I wish I could say I don't need anyone, but I also wish I would have notice the darn oil stain on my hoodie, and also the fly, stupid little fly, I wish someone who have said "Hey Ed, there's a fly on your arm, you dirty farm boy". But at the same time, now we got some cool filter going 😌
If you want to know about the instruments, there is a double bass (virtual instrument played on midi key), virtual drums, guitar, keyboard, tambourine, backing vocals, it's mixed in Cubase Elements 9.5.
For the style of play, I went for "Good Sunday Wedding Band", that isn't good enough to be the main act, but that can totally do a set after the karaoke brunch.
A quick word on the direction of the "music video", I wanted to make an effect where you bounce from one side to the other in the room, like you're teleporting. That's about it, let's now talk to the director of photography, Roger.
Roger? Are you there?
Roger: Yes, it's roger speaking, I went with some pink shit to cover the oil stain.
Thanks Roger, back to you people, let me know in the comment section what YOU'D LIKE TO DECONSTRUCT [insert wife joke] in life.
This is going to be officially holidays season, I might take a break from Studio Friday, and just make some simple live music instead of having weird god complex thinking I can reinvent the musical wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeel.
This is also a last attempt to drive traffic on my Youtube channel before abandoning ship, I am not sure what's going on, I've been good, not one single conspiracy theory thoughts, I've been visiting the Ministry of Truth once a week for my re-education program, I should be able to get more views, my social credit score allows it.
Now let's end today's post with a quote from the song:
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum
Oh that oil stain Ed!
made me feel right at home lol, us hands on active parents and people how can we not get our clothes stained. Loved your funky vibes in this, don't know the song and happy to just know your version now xxxxx
Yeah hahaha touché! I have food in my hair sometimes, we can't keep anything clean for less than a day, everything gets broken very quickly!
Thanks for the compliment, don't go listen to original, it doesn't matter! Cheers and thanks again for passing by!
Absolutely enjoyed this one!!
Yes!!! Thanks so much, I wanted your opinion on this because it's in your style of music too.
Oh my God, oh my God, how COOL is this studio cover!!! Cool? Noooooooo, moooooooreeee waaaaaaay uuuuuupppppp than cool! Oh My God, indeed! My head says me to stop and dont think in a way I will never be able to do my part of the other thing to put together, it indeed blocked me. The bridge thing harmony! But, my heart goes Bum bum bum da bum bum, bum bum bum da bum hahahaha, so, yes, I should go and practise 🤣
Amazing work @edprivat with this one (well with all, but this is a w e s o m e )🙌🙌
Hahaha thanks so much, you noticed I am not putting any pressure on you about the song we're working on, let me know if you want me to finish my parts, and send you the final product, I realise that maybe the fact that it's just a guide track with guitar and voice, doesn't sound pro enough for you.
You don't need any practice haha
Thanks for the compliment, especially coming from such an accomplish artist like you!
Thanks so much for not putting pressure on me. Though, I do it for myself 😅
I think about it every day, and every day I complain myself how I don't get any closer to work out it and finish and send you... It's my part that is missing, don't do anything else. It's my step now.
You are the professional in this field. The word great unique cover will be always connected to EdPrivat , and I remember still that my first Original vs Covers post was dedicated to you. Well, this cover would deserve a same kind of publication, from any better influencer then I am. I just left that series to disappear 😐
Well, I do have to practice 😂
Oh Ed, that was terrific. I loved it! Very cool and upbeat. That must have taken some time to produce.
Well worth the effort.
What's with that dang fly? I think he got caught up in the funk. hehe
Keep it coming my friend, I feel special just knowing a cool artist like you.😉😁
Thanks so much @farm-mom, this is some of the coolest compliment ever!
Yes it took a bit of time to make, more that I would like to admit, I hope it sounds as good as I imagined it would.
Hahaha hilarious 😄
I'm half way through the intro so I'll be back but wanted to say iheart where you said you're the master. There's a fine line between arrogance and confidence and I say floss with it.
I'm back. PS—I haven't listened yet. This is my favorite write up of yours since Spanish Joint however many years ago. You've introduced a lot of Ed's to your followers lately but I like this one. I'll be back again. Bzzzzz.
Back again. Filming in the bedroom like that as comfortable as you are on camera, the whole thing turning your room to a studio was so authentic. I never caught the oil but I'm shade blind so it doesn't mean it's not there. Dude I think the fly was a good addition, 'thanks fly.' Never heard that song before but it was so housy my head wouldn't stop that thing where it goes front back front back front back front back......
Man I am curious to know which colour it was for you then? Was it pink?
Well of course there were a slight self mockery here, it might have come off as arrogant, you are right, I don't mind that at all 😁. People that know me I spend my time self depreciating.
I wrote this at 6am after an all nighter, you know that spot you hit when you don't even know what you're saying anymore? That's where I was ahaha.
Thanks for passing by bro, it means a lot, thanks also for the like on YT and the comment! You're the best!
For what it's worth I think it's your best suit.
Let's go then, filter deactivated. "click"
I wouldn't even have noticed the fly or oil stain if you hadn't pointed it out 🙃
They are barely noticeable.
Great song. I like the pink filter. I never really thought of the process of doing a cover but yeah, you must really have to break down and deconstruct the song. That's interesting to think about. It must be a lot of work. I bet you get a bunch of song requests and as an artist I could see it being kind of annoying when the audience throws out a bunch of requests that they want to hear, like it's nothing for you to do. But really it's like "Dude, it's a ton of work. I can't just bang out a song in an afternoon for you."
I feel totally much better! Thanks 😌
The deconstructing part is quite tedious but also fun. There is 2 ways to do it, you can either wing it and go with the flow, play the song live, very similar to the original, or you can think of it like "what if it was my song?" and decide to completely change it.
Challenge accepted 😄 What's the song?
Lmao 🤣
Well in that case how about Skinny Love by Bon Iver? It's an old song but I still like it.
The Birdy cover is good too but I'm not sure if additional versions would be helpful or if they just muddy the waters lol.
Of course you pancake maple syrup loving Canadian would say Bon Iver 😄
Lol is he Canadian or something?....
Wait, he's American. Lol.
And also, maple syrup is fucking delicious
Dude I was 100 % sure he was Canadian. You guys still have Drake though, that counts for something right?
That was a weak insult, maple syrup is the best thing on earth.
I think that depends on who you talk to. He was pretty good in Degrasse High.
Trying to see if Skinny Love can be my song for Friday, it's a bit short though.
Don't rush on my account
Understood... (starts rushing)
Nice one man, I didn't know you could teleport if you turned the screen pink.
I noticed the fly, and the oil stain. and a smudge on your guitar.
Otherwise as always great tune.
Glad to see your improving your social score, I hear if you get it high enough they let you go outside!
Yoyoyo! I didnt notice the smudge on my guitar, I am very comfortable. How are u feeling buddy?
I don't think the outside concerns us @rubido, we might just have to stay in the sewage system with Splinter.
True, at least we got pizza down here. I only noticed the smudge cause it was pink. Feeling a fair bit better today, haven't been sat on the toilet with a bucket in front of me so fingers crossed the worst is over 🤣
Still a great tune, really like how you changed it up with the tempo.
Hahaha that's ironic!
Thanks bro I am happy that you enjoyed it!
Excellent stuff, love the commentary above and the video is funky and fits the tune!
The oil stain 🤣 Yep, young kids means keeping clothes clean for longer than 17 seconds is an impossibility!
Yeah bro hahaha, you know how it is! Thanks for the comment :)
¡Genial... Chamo! :D
Thanks my brother, sorry I didn't see your message!
Hehe do not worry! :)
