Singing
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.
You only live twice by Nancy Sinatra. Lisa (from our singing group at Singeo.com) asked us to pick our favourite “Bond-song” this week for the Weekly Song Challenge. I’ve chosen You only live twice, originally sung by Nancy Sinatra. I added my lower voice in some parts. Hans made a lovely clip, with input from the original trailer.
The year of the cat by Al Stewart for the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo.com (song chosen by JoeActor). This one was in a perfect key for me. I was mentioned as student of the Week after publishing this song 🙂 Yeahhh
The first time I was picked to choose a song in our Song Challenge Group. I’ve chosen Venus by Shocking Blue, because I wanted to present a Dutch band that is also famous in the US and it’s also a band from The Hague, my hometown in the Netherlands. It’s a catchy song and not so difficult to sing. The dancing girl is the daughter from our neighbours, Amelia. We recorded her for a theater project 7 years ago.
