Singing
Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. I dedicate this song in remembrance of our friend and choir-member Gérard who passed away this week. It is my choice for the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo.com. Montage by Hans.
Unchained melody, originally sung by the Righteous Brothers. Dedicated to my nephew Piet who married his Cat last sunday. This was Terri’s choice for the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo.
Always on my mind by Elvis (amongst others). This was Richard’s song choice at the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo. It’s a lovely evergreen and Hans found some inspiring Elvis imitators (from the movie Elvis has left the building) to spice everything up. Warning: and explosive ending! Enjoy.
Imagine by John Lennon. This song was chosen by Lisa for the Weekly Song Challenge. With a lot of thanks to my friends Arturo, Karine, Isabelle, Agneta and Hans for singing the bridge and chorus with me. Hans found some nice cartoons for the video by Pablo Stanley. And of course you can hear John Lennon himself at the end. Maybe wishes come true one day.
Turn the page by Bob Seger. This song was chosen by Jenn for the WSC. I didn’t know this song nor the group, so I had to learn it from scratch. What a nice surprise, I fell in love with it. Hans made a lovely video to accompany my singing. He used among others footage from Cheap Trick, Bob Seeger and The Silver Bullet Band and the famous café scene from Easy Rider.
Streets of London by Ralph McTell. This was my choice for the WSC. I’ve sung the lead voice and I’ve made a harmony in the presentation. Hans made the video with powerful images Hans he is singing along in the chorus !!!!). It’s a sad song, it’s about 50 years old, but still oh so true. Maybe even more now … The video in the background has been shot in LA, USA, but we see the same here in Paris and in a lot of big cities around the world.
