Default Shameless Self-Promotion

Hi all apart from sinking ships in the North Atlantic my other main interest is writing songs. This has up till now been a solitary and personal thing because I don't have a lot of self-confidence, well last night I finally found the courage to put it out there for all to see and I thought I'd post a link here in my other home to let you guys have a look if you wish. If you like the song and video and are a member of YouTube or Facebook I'd appreciate it you would consider "Likeing" the video or sharing it. I hope you like it

Hey, that's actually pretty good! Your voice makes me think of someone. Can't remember who though. But this is good stuff!
Would sound better with real drums but I'm nit-picking there. Cool lyrics too.

Thanks Bakkels, couldn't agree more about the drums but for now this is a solo thing. Glad you liked it and thanks for taking the time to comment

Glad you shared it...

To be honest, the message really struck a chord with me. Pretty good vocal quality as well, by all means please carry on...

He sounds a bit like Bob Dylan. Not bad.

Good song. Good music. Good voice. Good execution. I'd buy it.

Unfortunately I don't post at YouTube anymore since they insisted I have a Google account, which I won't do.

Oh yes!! Reminds of an old Irish TV quiz show in the 80's where the prize was a computer. The host Dermot Morgan (an Irish comedian) said one night that the prize was a Christian Brothers computer because you punched the information into it.

Thanks mate

Yeah Scrap Saturday was great. I can't remember the name of the quiz show, it didn't last very long possibly only one season but Morgan was great as the host as he was in pretty much anything he turned his hand to.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who took the time to check out my song. Almost 400 views since midnight last wednesday and a sizeable chunk of them from Subsim. I really appreciate it you guys are great.
