This is an instrumental version of Somehwere Over The Rainbow. We recorded this in a studio and it is mixed for headphones. So if you have them, you may want to put them on.
All the photo's in the video were taken by me and edited by me. All the flowers were grown in my own garden. Hubby plays guitar and bass and that's me on drums. And no, it does not sound like Jeff Becks version, Jeff Becks version sounds like Hubby. Beck heard Hubby play this version in 1979 in a bar in Pheonix AZ, when Hubby was 19 years old. There's an interview out there where Beck talks about how this 19 year old kid influenced his playing. I'm currently scouring Youtube for that video, because I'd like to back up what I'm saying here.
Just listen to the song, look at the pictures and try to remember happy times. It's hell out there, so let's suck the marrow of happiness out of the bones of life while we can.
Hubby is home from hospital and I would like to thank all of you who expressed concern. I will make it to all of your pages by the end of the day.
Bloody excellent, Jeff Becks would love to sound like you two...made me smile.
ReplyDeleteGlad hubby is home. I don't have headphones with me now but will for sure listen later. I think you will like my post from yesterday...you better.
ReplyDeleteFucking far out, Anne! I love that video, you guys rock! Seriously good tuneage! Glad the man is home. Hope you have a wicked day! :)
ReplyDelete@Anngry thanks for answering those questions. Cromwell, I still can't get over it!
ReplyDelete@Barfly I know I read it and I thought I commented. I better go check.
@Jeanne Thank you. He's doing better. I'm going to sleep now. I'll be wicked in a few hours. It's my job!
Oh, you're such a darling, but I wouldn't waste a slap on her! She got what she deserves, she's all alone now, none of us want anything to do with her. Surprise, surprise!
ReplyDeleteSo excited about the Ab Fab movie! The posters on the net are a scream! I downloaded a good few for my pwn amusement!
Hope you have a wonderful sleep! :)
Like this a lot, very uplifting.
ReplyDeletenice...great song and lovely pics...was pleasantly surprised it was electric...thanks for the happy feelings...smiles....
ReplyDeleteQuite an awesome job on that song. And Beck does sound like that. Also the Jimi Hendrix Star Spangled Banner comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteAnne, you are too kind to me on my blog, and I have now had three pairs of pants that have become to small. I don't even want to insult you today, ya tinker.
Yeah the stink of 2011 just doesn't want to subside huh? Oh well maybe we just need to pass some gas out our collective arses..lol
ReplyDeleteWow that was great, I don't think I've ever heard it done like that, awesome. You always get great pics too. What no plug saying people shouldn't steal them this time?..That troll of yours must be napping..LOL
I actually love this Anne, it's such a good sound. I put my earphones in and everything for it and you're right, it's great. I feel bad 2012, being only six days old has been tough on you and the people you know but I'm sure you know things do and will get better. It's great to hear your husband's home too, that's excellent news.
ReplyDeleteA great sound and arrangment for one of my favourite songs from Judy Garland. Wonderful.
