Frank Nicolas - Great White Noise
An estimated 25,000 new songs get released every day. As amazing as that is for listeners, it can often feel like cutting through the noise and making an impact is next to impossible. So we did the sensible thing and wrote a song about it.
This one goes out to every artist struggling to have their voice heard.

Frank Nicolas - Please Be the Judge of That

We take a look inside the mind of someone who has relinquished all agency. Lyrics: I've always tied my shoelaces With a double loop for luck But lately I've been told That's how knots get stuck So now I tie them 'round the right way I'm using proper form Won't do at all to deviate Too much from the norm Chorus: Oh, please! You people up there Won't you tell me what to do I need to know now wher...
Roll The Old Chariot (Sea Shanty)
Просмотров 9 тыс.3 года назад
I've been singing this song live for years. The song probably has its roots in an old spiritual. Most shanties have their maritime roots tied to facilitate a steady and synchronized pull when holding the line. This one references the wheel of manual bilge pumps rather than a line. Lyrics: We'd be alright if the wind was in our sails x3 And we'd all tack on behind We'll roll the old chariot alon...

I guess now that protests are mainstream, writing an antiprotest song is the rebelious thing to do. Cancel cancel culture. Stop the witch hunts. Live and let live. Be constructive. Move forward. If the shoe fits, wear it. Lyrics: You say purple, they say pink And I know you think that your shit don’t stink but hey You still need to flush You say maybe, they say please And I know you feel that t...

You're in quarantine! I'm in quarantine! We're all in quarantine! I set out writing a serious song, but ended up with a jolly chorus to bring some levity. Check out my website: www.franknicolas.nl
Frank Nicolas - Disturb Not Her Dreams
Просмотров 1474 года назад
I wrote this for my daughter Tara. When I became a dad, I started writing a bunch of silly children's songs, but I also wrote some personal songs about parenthood, life and the world as seen from a new parental paradigm. It took me a long time to finish this one and play piano well enough to actually perform it. My little girl Tara is three years old now.

The Lego pirate ship did it for me
De beste versie die ik ben tegengekomen, fantastisch samenspel en heerlijke sfeer om naar te kijken!!
Dank je wel!
@@Farmbeater kom snel eens naar de Achterhoek;)
@@foreverglitternails7681 graag hoor, tips welkom!
Are we allowed to use this in short films? 🥺🏴☠️🌊🌊
What did you have in mind?
It’s the Lego pirate ship for me!
God this is amazing... always coming back to this version of the song!
I came here by way of Sacred Cow Shipyards, and glad of it I am :)
U sir just got a new subscriber
Great! Good job! I want a mp3 to my playlist... How I can get it?
Thanks! No MP3. Hadn't really considered it but I might put it up eventually.
Hell ya brother 🤙

Excellent, Love it... And Rest in peace to all our brothers we have lost at sea. Gone but not forgotten.
The best cover bonanza
fucking beautiful stuff man.
Thanks!
It's fun to watch because you look like you're having good time.
Thanks. We sure did!
This is a capstan song. Also called a 'walk and go'. It's meant for raising anchor. I guess they could use it to pump bilges, there was a lot of overlap. But generally, this would be the song they'd set out to rather than something they'd sing along the way.
Cool, thanks for clarifying!
One of the best damn themes and tv shows ever!
Nice! I can relate to the protagonist. :)
Top bezig!!! 🎶
Dank je wel!
Always fun to see/hear you guys making music 🎶
Great video! Dont know how I found it
Glad you liked it!

Thanks. Love David!
Gaaf! Die Lego piratenboot heb ik ook :)
Zo gaaf!!!
Very poignant. Some of the shifts in society we're seeing right now are important and long overdue, but... too many people on all sides are being assholes about it and the pendulum could swing the other way. Also...some of the shifts are good. Others not so much. Others are dangerous and the idea that something can be construed as hate speech whenever somebody is offended is terrifying. When C16 was introduced here I was against it. Fortunately it doesn't seem to have any real effect in society so far, which begs the question why it was introduced at all, but it's a slippery slope, isn't it? PS your voice is too deep for this type of rock music. Just IMHO.
All true. Curtailing freedom of speech is always a slippery slope. Haha, I'm not a power tenor. No argument there ;)
@@Farmbeater Disagree. You clearly have incredible range, don't be afraid to put it to use.
The world is moving forward, with or without you. Not OK. Unsubscribed!
Thanks for simultaneously missing and proving my point.
woosh
OK boomer

Hear hear!
I love it.
Very nice 😃

Nice song bro ! That is an awesome looping and foot juggling... Quick questions about the setup, may I ?I saw your post on the Gearlutz forum. You say you use a Y splitter cable to mix guitar and voice, am I right ? so the 2 signals go in the Tonelab by only one jack 6.35 (only one jack input on this pedal as I saw) ? And then you use both R+L outputs and both R+L inputs of the looper to get the stereo ? Finally the looper is connected to a mixer/amp with an output for recording and an output that goes to the speakers ? I'm using a GX1on and wondering if I can also mix mic+guitar on the input (I can't correct the pan unfortunately on this pedal I know that)
Thanks! Let's see. The Tonelab is not involved in the vocals. I split the XLR cable from the mic, and one end of the Y splitter goes into a looper channel through a mute box, and the other goes into the mixer directly. If I'm not looping the vocals, I just mute the vocal signal to the looper, and the signal to the mixer is still on.
@@antoinepsylone3305 Where did you get the impression that I speak French? If I understand correctly, you're asking if the guitar signal is still stereo. Yes. I also use the Aux input on the looper, which gives you two more channels to work with. Use a stereo jack and a splitter on that input and you have a 4 channel looper. It's a line input, so you'll need to patch it through a separate mixer. As for your other point... I have pretty solid mic technique so I don't really need volume controls on my vocals when I'm looping. The direct output goes through the mixer, so in a live setting a sound engineer could still tweak that.
@@Farmbeater Woops sorry dude, I thought I saw you speaking french on that gearslutz forum, but things mixed up in my mind like your mess of wires in the studio... So to make it clear, which outputs do you use on the looper to get the stereo ? both L+R ? I think that on my RC1, everything that comes in left channel goes out by left channel, same for right. That's why I dont understand how you get the stereo, if your guitar comes in only on right (or left). I'm sorry to bother you but I'd like to buy some new equipment and I don't want to make mistakes.
the only way is to use both L and R inputs of the boss looper, to get the stereo, am I right ? that means you have a stereo output on the vox, and you use 2 mono jack cables ? (hope I got it this time :) )
This kicks ass!
Very nice!! Great harmony!
Great production! How many cams were running for this?
Thanks! Two DSLR's and a GoPro.
Frank and Micha - awesome singing and acoustic cover of Act Naturally!
Really good cover, this.
Goooood vibes! Sideburns are back. Thumbs up.
