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

Venus

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.

While my guitar gently weeps

This version of While my guitar gently weeps by the Beatles is made for the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo.com (Song chosen by Richard). I play the piano and did the singing afterwards. I made the progression with some instruments with iRealPro. I also have a version where I sing and play at the same time (for the Pianote Students Recital summer 2024), but it’s very hard to concentrate on both, so for Singeo I decided to make a version just singing.You can really hear the difference.
