To Love Somebody by Bee Gees (Cover)

In my head, this song would sound much better on piano. The problem is, I can’t play piano like I hear it in my head. 🙂

This is a cover of the classic Bee Gee’s song, “To Love Somebody”. It much slower than the original track, and probably has a few less harmony parts than it could have had.

I took a different approach to recording this one. My first attempt on piano was recorded to a click track like almost all my videos over the last few years. I also normally record each track separately, then mix and record the video afterward.

For this video, I decided to record audio and video simultaneously. Plus, I decided to use my iPhone to record the video instead of my usual Nikon DSLR. I think the iPhone did a much better job.

Look Up by Joy Oladokun

My Apple Music year end statistics came back recently and apparently Joy Oladokun is my number one listened to artist. That was not surprising really.

I was very happy to see Joy in concert a couple of months back in Chapel Hill, NC – at Cat’s Cradle. That was an amazing night. She is a top-class human in every way.

Here’s a cover of “Look Up” that I had a lot of fun making.
