Holly On The Island
Канада
Добавлен 21 ноя 2020
In 2020 I was practicing every day but had no where to share what I was learning, so I decided to post recordings, just so I could feel like something was completed and I could move on to something new. I also challenged myself to write an original song every month. I think I managed 5 or 6 in 2020, but became more disciplined the following year, and have managed to write a song every month since January of 2021. The point was to forget about trying to be brilliant, and just write something! As an exercise it has been so beneficial. I have written some of the best and some of the worst songs of my life, and I'm good with that. I'll do my best to upload a new one every month, drawing from my previous catalogue to fill the holes when my latest song isn't something I'm proud of.

Sorry for any construction noises you may hear in the back ground. My neighbour seems to be doing something very important.

Crazy For You -Madonna cover

This month I don't have a theme, just songs that have worked their way to the front of the practice book. I've loved this song since I first heard Madonna do it back in the eighties.
Let it Go -A Holly On The Island Original Song

I've taken pictures of eagles and dragonflies and starfish this summer. What I see is what I end up writing about. Let It Go I asked the eagle in the tall, tall tree From your vantage point what do you see Do my worries look small to you if they were yours, would you know what to d Eagle, you’re alone and it matters not No home, no possessions, what have you got? The sky is yours, why would you...

My son is a big fan of Gordon Lightfoot so I asked him to choose one of his songs for me to learn. Here you go, Toryn.

I Don't Believe in Tsunami

There’s a seismic rumble from far far off that warns there might be trouble soon to come but we keep on with work and trade, we play and feast and dance and ignore the shadow cast across the sun tsunami’s coming, that’s what they say but I refuse to get out of the way I’ve got my rights, so here I’ll stay I don’t believe in tsunami Oh yes we have our worries about fashion or romance or whether ...

Had some tech issues this week, and some allergies issues, but I finally got this uploaded. My sisters had this song on 45, once upon a time. :)
Love Your Scars - a Holly On The Island Original Song

If I could get beneath your skin I'd see how deep the wounds have been Instead I see how you react, in lashing out or holding back you make a choice, I hope you know to keep them fresh or let them go Don't hold on to your wounds but love your scars wounds continue wounding but that's not who you are scars help you remember that you've come so far don't hold on to your wound, love your scars Eve...

Planes, lawn mowers and the occasional bird, all unplugged, and somehow the audio still comes through.

I remember singing this at school in grade three but not hearing it on the radio so I'm not sure who it's a cover of, but here's my version of it.
So Much She Can't Remember - a Holly On The Island Original Song
Просмотров 1114 месяца назад
She’s pretty sure she climbed aboard a boat and sailed to sea the snapping sails, the crying whales, the porpoises alea the azure sky, the golden sun that sank into the sea and rose again to shine on island huts and harbour quay she thinks, but there’s so much she can’t remember and once her heart was captured and he promised her forever so tall and strong and handsome and their love was sweet ...

nicely done
Hey, thanks!
Each month I wonder, will this song hold up; have you pulled together another one. But you never let me down. Your insight is always a surprise. Your voice is always a delight. You are always on with verse and a tune and an grounded insightful theme. I so appreciate your humbling gift to us all. (((((HUGS)))))
This is really beautiful, so gentle.. keep up❤
@originalname8513 thanks so much!
OOOO Sweet Jesus my ears my ears
@@rateyesmertz3785 I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but don't listen if you don't like it.
I love this song! I miss Ian and Sylvia together they were great harmonies. Add Summer Wages and they are great Tyson tributes.
@@pevoeslix4505 your turn, then. Let's hear summer wages.
What a great new song! I like the change in rhythm and the theme once again is a new take on something we all have in the back of our minds as Islanders near the fault. Coincidentally there was just a flurry of quake activity off the west coast that should alarm us all.
@pevoeslix4505 thanks for the feedback. But I'm sure you understand it's not just about tsunamis...necessarily....
@@hollyontheisland The emotional tsunamis is also difficult to deal with and being in denial of our emotional eruptions is never a long term fix.
@pevoeslix4505 oh, that's deeper than I intended. It's meant to be about science denial more generally.
@@hollyontheisland I always listen to your lyrics at a deeper level. You have a knack for inspiring personalized interpretation. Maybe it is just me looking for that.
@pevoeslix4505 I'm quite happy to have my song interpreted differently than I expect. It makes it really interesting.
My mellow is restored!
Happy to hear it!!
