11/17/2009 - A Coldplay cover - Violet hill

Now for some covers. This one is quite a recent tune, and is called "Violet hill". It's covered from the Coldplay album "Viva la vida".

I had several Coldplay songs lined up to cover, and I chose this as the first of the batch. I really struggled with the falsetto in this one, so I had to take the music down a key. Even then I still struggled, but I just about managed it.

It was quite noisy in the skies above my village over the weekend I recorded this. I live quite near to a place called Goodwood. They hold a number of annual events and one of them is called "The festival of speed". So whilst it was in progress, I took a few pictures of the aircraft from my rear garden. I have added those to the vid. All I will say is that one aircraft in particular got extremely close, and it wasn't the smallest flying object in the world!!!

Check out my cover of this brilliant song, and see my snaps:

The Youtube stats are still moving well.

I now have 721 subscribers in total.

Channel views are up to 16,254.

The overall video views are so close now. 249,532. Barring disasters, it will pass the quarter of a million tomorrow :)

My next one will probably be another Coldplay song. There's a track on one of their albums that I've always wanted to sing :)
