Song Summertime in UK

Summertime 

 

Verse 1: 

It's summertime in the UK 

The sun is shining bright 

The days are long and warm 

The nights are short and light 

We're ready for some fun 

We've waited for so long 

It's time to hit the road 

And sing our summer song 

 

Chorus: 

Summertime, summertime 

We're feeling fine in summertime 

We're going places, we're seeing faces 

We're living life in summertime 

 

Verse 2: 

It's summertime in the UK 

The weather is so nice 

We're heading to the beach 

Or maybe to the ice cream shop 

We're enjoying every moment 

We're making memories 

It's the best time of the year 

There's so much to see and do 

 

Chorus: 

Summertime, summertime 

We're feeling fine in summertime 

We're going places, we're seeing faces 

We're living life in summertime 

 

Bridge: 

Summertime is here at last (here at last) 

Let's make it last as long as we can (as long as we can) 

Summertime is what we need (what we need) 

Let's celebrate with all our friends (all our friends) 

 

Chorus: 

Summertime, summertime 

We're feeling fine in summertime (feeling fine) 

We're going places, we're seeing faces (going places) 

We're living life in summertime (living life) 

 

Outro: 

Summertime, summertime........ 

A Sonnet on Cats

 A Cat Sonnet

Cats are the creatures of the night and day, They sleep and dream and purr and play, They have a grace that none can match and eyes that glow like fire’s catch 

Cats are the masters of their own domain, They rule their homes with subtle reign They, have a mind that none can read and a heart that none can feed 

Cats are the friends of those who love them well, They share their secrets and their spell, They have a bond that none can break and a loyalty that none can fake 

Cats are the wonders of the world and more, They teach us how to live and explore, They have a spirit that none can tame and a beauty that none can name 

 New tracks

So its time to state that I shall be realising 3 new tracks to my YouTube channel over this weekend, each of the tracks will as is usual be different musical styles   hope you will enjoy them.

Audio Movies

 What makes an audio movie?

An audio movie is a story told via sound, using all the audio resources that go into the soundtrack of a typical movie. It is different from a silent film or a film with dialogue because it relies on sound effects, music and voice acting to create a rich and immersive experience for the listeners.

Some of the elements that make an audio movie are:

• Sound design: This is the process of recording, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio elements that match the tone, mood and action of the story. Sound design can help to create realistic and engaging soundscapes that transport the listeners to different places and times. For example, in EarFLIX’s action thriller The Hunted, sound design is used to create suspense and tension by using sounds like gunshots, explosions, footsteps and breathing.
• Music: This is one of the most well-recognized parts of a sound mix in a movie. It helps to convey emotion, set the pace, create tension and enhance the atmosphere of the scenes. Music can also help to establish themes, motifs and character development. For example, in Mixkit’s horror movie The Haunting Of Hill House, music is used to create fear and dread by using sounds like dissonant chords, low notes and sudden crescendos.
• Voice acting: This is the performance of voice actors who portray different characters in the story. They use their vocal skills to express personality, emotion and intention through dialogue and narration. Voice acting can help to bring life and depth to the characters and make them more relatable and memorable. For example, in MP3 Movies’ comedy movie The Hangover Part II , voice acting is used to create humor and fun by using sounds like accents , sarcasm and laughter.

Cold

 Just a note to me its cold today, just saying this for my future benefit.

New Tacks

 New Tracks

so good news by the time that I put this post up, I shall have posted 3 new tracks on my youtube channel, which will be the first lot of tracks in some time, i think without checking that it could be 3 or more weeks.

The reason for the delay has been caused by me and the wife being ill with some virus, which was not Covid as we tested and that was negative.

So these tracks were written some time ago, bur for one reason or another were not finished, the good news is that they are done!

The even more good news is that I also had time to complete several more tracks, but so as not to overload the channel I shall arrange for them to be released in the next couple of weeks.

The 3 new tracks are all different music styles and track length but are all good tracks and I have enjoyed hearing them again.

 Not Well

Not well at this time I think I have caught covid again

Covid Anyone

 Covid

People are still catching covid even if they have had all the jabs that have been offered to them.

Are they catching the same thing or is it something different?

All I do know is that my wife has caught covid for the second time even though she has had covid before and all 3 jabs offered.

hopefully the symptoms will be mild for her, and I suspect ask like last time when I caught covid I will get it from her, so lets hope is a mild one.

I also have just noticed that the mainstream media are not reporting anything on covid, strange that?

YouTube Thumbnails

Thumbnails and Me 

So as you know if you have read any of my blog posts here over the last year or to I compose music which I then put on my YouTube page/Channel.

I don't post to the channel at a regular time and I don't advertise it, mainly cause I don't know how to and also because other things in my life get in the way.

One thing that I have not done is a thumbnail for each of the tracks that I have uploaded.

There are a lot of tracks, so that is a lot of thumbnails.

So I have recently found a free programme that has helped me to make thumbnails.

I read reviews on the software with there being a lot of negative reviews of it, saying things like its very slow etc..

I have not found that to be a problem.

So I have been playing with the free parts of the program and have managed to produce some thumbnails for some of my many tracks on Youtube.

The artwork will not win any awards, but I don't care about that as all I wanted was for my tracks to have a thumbnail that is not a plain boring background, this somehow I have managed.

So I have done perhaps ten thumbnails so far, the amount of time that it has taken is a real surprise.

Oh you want to know what the free software that I have been using on my PC?

Its by Adobe and is called Adobe Express, I have not yet looked at how much the paid for part is and what it will give my that will make it worth me spending some money on it.

Fog EP Released

Fog EP 

So the Fog EP has been released today and you can hear all the tracks on it at my youtube page. The current EP has three tracks on it with one of the called Fog.

I do have ideas to do a EP+ with some more tracks but I have not yet created them, if I do I will post the update here.

One thing that I have noticed was when I used to publish a track on Youtube it used to update this Blog, with ta link to the track but that does not seem to be the case anymore, sad times.

More pictures of Debbie Anne

 The Mystery Lady

she might be called ?

(Debbie Anne)

Long Hair Smile

long hair staringing into the camera

She does running

Debbie Anne

Her (Debbie Anne)

So my friend has said that I can post another picture of her and that it’s my free choice. 

So this is what I have chosen a picture from a recent session of her.

These I think are good pictures of her.

New EP called Fog

New Music EP 

So I shall be releasing the last track of my new EP called Fog.

 I have already released 2 of the 3 tracks.

 At this time I don’t yet have a name for the last track but my gut feel is that it’s going to be the title track of the EP and its going to be called Fog.

AI programs

 So is AI the new way to sell software, is it the equivalent of bells and whistles?

I don’t know the answer to that question but I shall watch and wait to see what happens this year.

Ai song lyrics

Song Lyrics

 I've been waiting for you to come along,

I've been waiting for you to call my name.

I can't believe how much I've missed you,

and how much I love you so.

You're my one and only love,

and I'm so glad that it's true

So what do you think about this song too simple ?

of no merit?

why bother?

 is it too simple?

 what sort of  tune would go with it?

Whos voice would this suit male or female?

Trance Music

Music 

Trance changed the world in many ways. It is a form of music, dance and art. Trance music is one of the most popular genres in the world today. Trance music is also known as progressive trance and it has become a worldwide phenomenon.

Trance has influenced many other types of music over the years and it continues to do so to this day. Trance has also influenced fashion trends and even fashion trends have been influenced by trance music.

Trance was originally created by an Austrian musician called Robert Miles in 1993 when he released his album “Dreamtime” which was his first album that he released under his name Robert Miles – Dreamtime. Although trance music was not really mainstream until after 2000 when commercial trance became popular in Europe during this time period; however, it had already been around for some time before this point as well as after 2000 until today.

 Her Again (Debbie Anne)

So the lady I know has said I can post a picture or to of her over the next few weeks if I want to and that it’s my choice of pictures to post.

Blogging What Me

 Blogging

so you will no doubt have noticed that the blog entries dropped right off again this is mainly due to the fact that I just lost interest in do a blog, I did not run out of stuff to say just I somehow find something else to do ......ho hum.

So it goes.....

New Beer Tryout

 New Beer

so I have tried a local brewery beer that I have heard about but have never had the chance to try until now.

The ale, because it is a real ale is call Old Tongham Tasty or OTT this is a strong ale 6% and is a dark ale that has a very complex taste in fact I don’t think I can say what the taste is other than this is an ale that you sup, it’s not a session ale it’s an ale that you will want to savour the taste.

The ale is brewed by the Hogs Back Brewery in Tongham Surrey U.K. with a look if you can get hold of it as it tends to sell out quickly.

Cold cold cold

 so for the last week we have been in a very cold spell for us that is I know other parts of the world do have it much colder, but the problem is the U.K. houses are not designed for the cold, so when it gets cold the houses even with heating are cold.

So it’s been -8C here the heating in the hose just can’t cope with this so the result is that the house is just cold all the time, even with layers of clothing you just end up feeling cold all day.

I am told it’s due to warm up to +12C on Monday as I write this on the Saturday, we shall see.

New music

 Well not too sure what is going on, but I uploaded onto youtube 4 new music tracks yesterday 18/11/2022 and for some unknown reason only one has appeared here, which is a pity as I happen to think that all four tracks are all rather good, don't get me wrong none of them are no1 in the charts good, they are just good.

All of them have some nice musical ideas in them and some great samples which I like to think I have used well.

So if you happen upon this post and you want to hear the tracks you are going have to go to youtube and look for them there.

Long Run Delay

 I was planning to do a long run today, so a run over over 12k to me is a long run, but woke up 0530am ready to get out there and get it done, only to discover that the weather had other ideas.

We must be in the middle of a storm or something because the rain that is falling is just nuts, very heavy and it appears as I write this at 0830am it’s still raining beginning to wonder when it will stop.

So in light of all the rain might do my run on Monday.

Her Again and Again (Debbie Anne)

Her Again Debbie Anne

 I think this is a great picture of my friend, who I have put pictures on here before with her permission.

What I like about this picture is that, I happen to think the lipstick that she is wearing works really well.

Not too sure about the orange top, but in her defence I think this is a running top, and that she took the picture at a recent run that she did.

(Edit note she confirmed that it was at a recent parkrun, before the run, as she says that she did not look so nice at the end of the 5K run!)

New Beer I Tried

So I have just today tried a new beer that was on the shelves at the local Tesco.

Having tried it I think that it was not one of my better buying decisions, in that I just don't like the taste of this beer.

So what did I buy?

I brought Guinness Cold Brew Coffee Beer

I was looking forward to it, in that I don't mind Guinness, I also like Coffee so you would think that should not present a problem?

But for some reason the two ingredients together for me is a beer that just does not taste nice and it also has a very long after flavour 

why this should be, I just don't know?

I tried the beer correctly chilled as per what is says on the can, I made it the first beer of a session, but sadly its made no change, I even tried it after a strong IPA but the result for me was the same, a beer that has a taste that I can't describe what the taste is, that I just don't like.

Oh well on to the next beer

Rain

 So this is yet another note to me that its been raining it feels like it has not stopped raining for days, it probably did stop raining but nobody notice this event happening as its also been dark, I know that we have just had the clock shift but it just feels as if it has been darker than I remember.

It could just be me, but it just does feel like its darker.

Cold

 Just a note to me that it turned cold last night and we had to put the heating on...

Work seminar

 Doing a work seminar at 0600 in the morning is not much fun, I am not fully awake!

I haven’t even finished my first cup of coffee of the day, and I had not even had breakfast.

So I am now having my breakfast at nine in the morning which for a work day is late, in fact I think my whole schedule is upside down I don’t know if I am coming or going.

Rain

 Just a note to me that wow did it rain in the early hours of today,  so much so that it woke me up. 

Hello Sweden

 Just very quickly looked at the stats for my blog for October, as I expected them to be poor as I have not done much blogging.

I was surprised to see that there has been some visits from Sweden, so welcome to you hope what you found on this site was not too much of a disappointment.

Blogging

 So after my short break I have not blogged for a while so it may be a little while before I am back blogging about this and that and on the things that happened on the break.

Parkrun vids

 So I have done some parkrun tourism and I also managed to film them, the great things some how I have Managed to get the footage off the gopro and on to YouTube,  I have not edited the footage so what you see is what happened and at the time it happened,  mainly due to the fact that I don't have a PC that is capable of editing the footage.

Been Away

 So I have been away in Middle Devon where there is very little internet, so expect some late blogs.

Raining

 So a note tome it’s just raining I don’t like the idea that I may have o run in the rain tonight but I will run what ever the weather does.

Thursday Run

 So as yesterday was a success in that I did a run and that it was okay, it means that I can go for a run with the group. Well hopefully as last week for one reason or another none of them could make the Thursday run, hopefully tonight we get a few running.

Ran Tonight

 So I ran tonight to see if the legs were okay  the answer is yes they are okay, but I decided that it was not wise to push them so I just did a steady or easy run.

Did 6K so I am happy with this.
