Video Recording

·

One of the things that annoy me when I make Video Song Covers
is that I cannot, for the life of me, get a good angle or set up.

I have already accepted the fact
that I cannot make my appearance any better,
but at the very least, I could try to make the scene interesting.
I am also not good at that.

That last cover I did for Father’s Day was actually a Video one,
but I decided on not to go with it
and it all ended up in my trash bin.
I just ripped the music out and played with it.

My point to all of this is,
I need to learn some of this Video editing stuff on this Mac.
I am slowly learning the Music Editing bit, so that’s good.
But this video editing has to make me look at least, half way decent.
I may need more help than I thought.

Yeah that’s me trying to record that Father and Son song.
Don’t be scared.
That’s just how it is.

I am sorry.
I should have warned you with some Health and Safety Precautions first.

Check out my Youtube Channel for videos.

Happy 4th!

I read somewhere, (Of course I can’t remember),
that the reason why Americans raise and wave their flags so high
is because they worked so hard for their freedom
and they always take it to heart.

Do not take it for granted, folks.
This may be our last.

Happy Independence Day to all.

This day.

Remember this day, Ty.
Today was a great day.

Someday when you see no hope,
Or joy,

Remember this day.

Sincerely,
Ty

Remembering the King of Pop

No matter what people say with how he lived his life,
Michael Jackson was (and is still) a great force in our Music history.

His tunes will forever be playing on the airwaves.

Today marks his Death Anniversary, and I just want to remember him and his music.

–A cover I made three years ago, in honour of him.

Thanks, Michael.

Father’s Day 2012

I have been a parent for 9 years now,
and I must be honest with you,
I still have no clue what I am doing.

I just wing it.
Day after day.

Some days it’s awesome.
Some days it’s … not too good.

It’s quite exhausting.

The only way I can make it through,
is the realization that it is all worth it.

So in honor of all Fathers out there,
especially my dear friends who I know are going thru the same thing day after day.

I covered this classic song by Cat Stevens.
Definitely one of my favourites.

Here’s to you, brothers.
Keep on doing what you were meant to do.

Oh and I miss you Dad.
Happy Father’s Day.
