Some of you may or may not know, but I'm a musician. I play many instruments and I love music with a passion. More than motorcycling, dare I say it.

Well my music teacher asked me to play in class tomorrow, and me being me, said sure...before thinking of what to play. I didn't really want to play alone, so a friend of mine that I collaborate with to form acoustic duo, Visio, suggested we play. That's all well and good too, except we've had 2 practices together and only have/had 2 songs that weren't quite finished.

Jono being the awesome guy he is, wrote a song in 20 minutes today and brought it 'round to me today. We had a jam and sussed it all out, and now it's complete.

It's really awesome when you write a song that just works in such a short time. An awesome feeling. I'm looking forward to a debut 'gig' tomorrow in music class.

Shall I add that it's 2 acoustic guitars and 2 vocalists. Easy, but catchy stuff.
I'll attempt to record it some time soon, and youtube it.

And we're not remotely like FOTC either.

And it's bassy enough to be comfortable. I suppose you'll hear it sooner or later.

Don't worry bro, you can still have my babies either way....

Looking forward to hearing a recording - best of luck for the per-for-mance in class. Don't be afraid to swipe some of your mums vodka to cool the nerves before hand - it's ok, tell her i told you so :whistle:

Will probably end up doing the 2 or 3 songs we have all at once, once the others are finished. Just have to sort the P.A to borrow, and the video camera.

Played in music class today.
It went well, considering we've played it about 5 times really.
There were a couple of minor minor screw ups, but nothing huge and unsettling.

The class thought this:

The lyrics were nice. It's a love song, but it's not too cheesy or gross.
The song itself was nice and relaxing. But not too relaxing. It's fairly upbeat, but it's laid back, not frantic. There is contrast within the song itself, not all just one volume or pace right the way through.
When we made the minor mistakes we smiled or laughed and kept going, didn't stop or slow down or whatever.
Our intro was open, friendly, relaxing. It set the class up for our performance in a similar way to our performance itself. We weren't too formal, but not too casual either.We had a lot of fun doing it, and Mrs Pierard (music teacher) wants us to work on it and come back and play the same song again in 3-4 weeks time. To show the class our progression and work. Mrs P. thought it was a great song, but she said that it's obvious we just need to get a little more familiar with it.

Nice, nice.
Muse do a great falsetto. I probably couldn't think of their best example though.
