Nine · 11-30-2007, 04:31 AM

I had a horrible cold and nothing do to, so I thought I'd make a video

It's a Martha Wainwright cover, excuse bunged up nose!!

comments/criticisms etc appreciated x

mariaoran · 11-30-2007, 06:51 AM

oh Hollie good choice!! i like this song!

Also, if you hadn´t said anything about the cold i don´t think i would´ve noticed .... sooo yeah you sounded great!!!

ps... you should get bored more often you know!!

dboyd · 11-30-2007, 08:54 AM

^ahaha i so agree! get bored more often! it's great!!!

Nine · 12-04-2007, 11:11 AM

thank you guys! Yeah i really like this song... oddly enough, not many people I know do, which i find odd because I think it's really really good! Generally I'm not a big Martha fan, but this song I just fell in love with instantly...

xx

cille · 12-04-2007, 03:58 PM

great as always!

Your voice sounds great despite the cold. Oh and how long does it take to play the guitar as well as you do?

Hey, I have a cold too! But I can't sing, it hurts when I speak

I could turn that right around and tell you to learn me the pi-a-no immediately!! Thanks Cille. I've been playing for 2 and a half years now. But I play it so much it probably equates to about 5 years!!

i STILL have the cold!

cille · 12-05-2007, 07:37 AM

2 YEARS!!??!!! Feck me sideways, that's fast! I should probably just get at rehearsing guitar and stay with it eh.

lols :P like i said, considering I spend about 23 hours a day playing, the year count does not seem so relevant!! Yeah get your guitar, don't put it down, you'll be rocking out in no time.

(but if that fails, just serenade me with the keys

)

Well you know, a piano is difficoult to just put on your shoulder and take it to gigs.. I'd love to be able to play the guitar even just half as good as you. I just want the chord changes to not last ½ hour each!

Also, I do believe that you can write different things on the guitar and the piano - each instrument has it's own 'logic' - possibilities and limitations - that affects the way the songs end up. So it'd be sweet to be able to play different instruments good enough to write songs with them.

Rai · 12-07-2007, 08:00 AM

^The faster chord changes will come with practice in no time. I've been playing the guitar more often recently and even my daily 1-2 hours for three months has made it improve a lot. (My utter lack of sense of rythm and inability to sing and strum at the same time is of different matter

)

cille · 12-07-2007, 08:12 AM

Oh yeah, singing and strumming at the same time is a real motorical challenge - I still have trouble with it with the piano too. And I am not exactly a metronome when I have to do musical multitasking like that...
I guess only practice can help that. Good thing we're not drummer/singers, Rai!

Rai · 12-07-2007, 08:20 AM

^Yeah... Probably me being a woodwinder is the main cause for my uselessness with the guitar... I mean, for many years I've learnt to do basically the same thing with my hands and breathing and now I have a right and a left hand and singing that should somehow be coordinated. Its a nightmare...

cille · 12-07-2007, 09:28 AM

^Oh I can imagine! Going from coordinating breath and hands to dissociating them is probably a big job for the brain to work out; you need to build new synapses and all! No wonder it takes a while to learn big new things like that.

The cold gave you a slightly deeper voice, wich is sexy...

About the cover itself, I liked it very much...

Want more...
