[saffbrat]

good one..

i really caught that one..

loved you at the barbie mate..

what happened to the Meat is Murder motif?

or was that a different vid

lol

;-}~

[Toracube]

@saffbrat It all becomes a blur...

This one got a few thumbs down. Not sure why...Must have offended someone.

It is just my opinion.

People can be funny sometimes...

[saffbrat]

@Toracube

one thing in life that you can be absolutely clear about my friend is that people who are on first names terms with their god (note lower case) have absolutely no sense of humour or tolerance of those that do

lol

;-}~

ps.. never exclude the possibility that the thumbs down were added by music lovers

ha ha

see you on the other side

[Toracube]

@saffbrat They have ears, but cannot hear...

[JarekRekinsky]

truly great!!!!!

[Toracube]

@JarekRekinsky Thanks J. This is the first one I did where I thought, this isn't so bad. At least it is different to anything else. Cheers Man !! Andy :)))

[martimax34]

Fantastic video Andy !!! You told me about the singing on this one but I also discovered something really strong in the artistic field and all the back and forth between believe and doubt is so well supported by this beautiful music !!!

[Toracube]

@martimax34 Thanks for watching this one. There is a lot in this. I was just starting to play the piano back then. it is very Raw, but it says what i felt, and still feel. Thanks so much for watching this. It got a few thumbs down. I think from Christians who see doubt as a weekness maybe... I try to do vids about things I see/think. Thanks for being around Pascal !!!!

[ZINCOVIX]

superb stuff again sir...truly orginal tora...moving music scores..lov that vocal echo effect with the guitar reminds of the cocteau twins .fantastic stuff..peace to you and yer family and friends

[Toracube]

Thanks Zinc. That was my first singing debut. lol They are a nice group of people. Always great to hear from you. If you are ever in London lets have a beer sometime.

[pixiewilson42]

Wow...yet again,brilliant Andy xxxx

[Toracube]

Thanks. Hope the singing wasn't too bad.

[experimentalrock]

I really enjoyed this. Nice content of play between keyboard and guitar and voice. Cheers from Hawaii.

[Toracube]

Thanks for listening. Always nice to hear from new people. Glad you liked it. From the rainy UK. Andy

[jimijamz2234]

I wonder this so often lately...Hey...can't wait 4 ya' to come back! I have sticky keys also...can't wait to replace them...uhhg...makes it difficult! So I am in waiting...

[AnnaKarina2]

Hi Andy! This is a Great video here:)

Looks like you had lots of fun too~ :)

[martinfilas]

al piano lo tocas vos? si es asi te felicito por las ideas geniales ! desde argentina abrazos de un amigo lejano, daniel filas

[Toracube]

(Google translate) Yo toco el piano como un bebe aprende a caminar. Estoy apriendo, pero yo trato. Gracias por ver mis videos. Espero que os gusten. Abrazos tambien mi amigo. Andy

[jimijamz2234]

OMG...

[jimijamz2234]

Wow..I can really relate to this. Thank you!

[ELECTRONICTORTELLINI]

wonderful piano work..and a movin video..great stuff bud

[Toracube]

Thanks for watching. Doing a new vid. The track sounds kind of Bondish. New title is The Art Of Seduction. Trying to get it ready by tmw!! Glad you liked the vid!! Thanks for commenting too! Andy :))

[waitaniwha]

Wonderful , poignant look at lifes contrasts. Very sad for those who are born in the wrong place at the wrong time and their lives are misery. Thnx Andy.

[Toracube]

Totally agree. Some of the pictures on Life's a Gamble are about that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you liked it. Andy :))

[Toracube]

I was inspired by my pals (jason and Natalie's) son. This sort of came out. I wish I could just do a simple love song, but I don't think I can. Thanks for watching, listening and commenting!! Great to meet you by the way. Checking out your vids!! You are a great musician!! Andy :))

[nosondre]

I'm watching AND listening. I'm moved. The images go right to my soul. Is that your baby? Beautiful! Thanks for that. It made me smile .... and think.... and this is good.

[ronpolla]

God is watching...not sure if he listens....good job on the grill....

[Toracube]

I am a natural. They were a demanding lot. lol

[efbeckley]

this is beautiful, Andy, thanks for sharing! 5* and faved, i'm posting a video response, too.

[Toracube]

Glad you liked it. Was hoping you would. I felt a bit ambitious so I went for it. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. But I have to fly, even if it is only for a second.

[efbeckley]

i like that it comes in pieces, like faith, and like life.

did you look at my prayer? it was the response, you don't have to approve it but i thought you might like it.

[Toracube]

I was watching it as you sent it. Really good. I prefer this kind of thing to love songs, though I have my moments. lol You are getting better and better man. Good to see!

[pedritapandora]

your video is grreat, message and images...5******

[Toracube]

Thanks so much for listening. Thanks for the stars!! Lovely to hear from you. Glad you liked the message especially. Andy :))

[gorethem]

Another great piece.

[Toracube]

Thanks for watching Sam. Met one of your pals today. FRONTMIAMI.  Subbed up. Its been a crazy couple of days. Need a good rest!! Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. Andy

[earthypig]

well something is always obviously going on, both bad and good - i don't have faith in a "personal god" per se -- but that doesn't mean i'm in "despair" - in fact the opposite is true - the world has never been more wondrous and full of possibilities for me -- but everyone's different, and if your faith helps you then all the better for you :) this was a nice essay on life as well as religious life. we should all try to make the world a better place whether or not god is listening :)

[josepolo950]

You dont have to be nervous Andy !! I could not wait to listen to your singing voice and it sounds quite good !!

The baby never took his eyes away from you, he seems fascinated by your face unless its your glasses!!lol!

Who does that eye belongs to @ 3.10/ Miles Davies?

Merci.Andy!!

[Toracube]

She did seem to like me. She peed on the lady I passed her to. Which made me like her even more!! Maybe its my nose. Not sure about he eye. Will have to check. I make these vids and someone says where was that from and I go. 'Oh boy..'

I do so many pics per vid. It's hard to keep track. Merci Josette. Thanks for commenting.

[josepolo950]

hahaha!! she must have had an ultra thin nappie then!!lol !! She's gorgeous!1

I havn't held a baby  or being around very young children for a long time !!!! I miss that!!

[Toracube]

I think a lot of the ladies watching, do too.

[polkovnik50]

Людей много, а Земля такая маленькая...

[Toracube]

I hope that's good!!!!

[polkovnik50]

I would like to think so ...

[Toracube]

I just tried to google translate. Correct me if I am wrong, please!!! . 'There are many people in a small earth.' Even my English is poor! I am terrible with languages! Sorry if I got it all wrong.

[SanDiLee21]

Well....you know I just had to come back and watch this again. Ohhhh babies, they are all like little Buddhas and one has to admire the fact that another strong soul has arrived on our planet, don't you think?? They have to be strong, this is not an easy place....but the good can be soooo GOOD. Its a wonderful piece of work Andy and thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us....

[Toracube]

I had a great prop. She didn't cry at all. Maybe to young to be annoyed by anyone yet. That will change. Not sure if everyyone got that that was the point of the song. God's answer is the baby. Tried to be a bit subtle. Not sure if that part of it worked or not.  Glad you liked the vid. I enjoyed putting all the pieces together!! Andy :)) xx

[smoothvelvetsinger]

Great tribute Andy, I`m happy for the couple who were blessed with this beautiful child. Your first "moving image" contribution in some time. I think you do very very interesting things musically. DON`T HATE SINGING, you have an interesting voice although I suspect that you try to camouflage it with effects like reverb etc. I got a John Lennon feeling listening to your singing. Good work again.

[Toracube]

I am beginning to think am not so bad after all. But I get so nervous when I do it. I just can't shake it. With covers , you can know what you are doing. On this.. I wrote the words on a scrap of paper just 45 mins before. I liked the piano. It was going to be just music. No singing. Lots of little things going on underneath. lost a bit. Thanks for commenting Erick. Hope to do something with you someday. Andy

[Toracube]

Thats should read 4 or 5 mins before. lol

[BigLoveZone]

I dunno if pooptube will allow me to rate this again, but I did and it took. I feel so powerful and yes I'm listening. Ooops, there go those delusions again. 8-)))))

[Toracube]

Always great to hear from you Bobbie. rate away!!! People seem to like this one. Must remember to put more babies into my vids!!! I have a feeling God might have a few words with me when my time is up. lol

[withnailus]

Such a great piece of work, love the video, the music is beautiful and haunting.

[Toracube]

Thanks for watching, Matt. People are starting to watch it after a slow start. Thanks to Tim for his spot.  Hope you like some of the others too. They are all different. Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting. Andy

[venusclare]

Wonderful Andy!!...baby suits you too!...thanks for sharing...Ve...xx

[Toracube]

Thanks for watching Venus. She was so small!!!!!

[fendermac]

Really nice job. Please give your voice a chance.I'd like to hear more of it - I suspect it's pretty good.

[Toracube]

Thanks Paul. Some people are saying nice things. So maybe it isn't as bad as I think. Glad you liked the track. I felt like trying some songwriting. Now I know why Bob Dylan is Bob Dylan. Glad you liked the vid!! Andy

[fendermac]

The post of Bob is filled...be Andy.I think you're extremely well qualified for that job

[Toracube]

Thanks Paul, still learning. Just not quite sure who Andy is, yet. That's the scary part.

[fendermac]

Close your eyes,spin round thrice and there you are.

[Toracube]

I'll try that!!

[WavelengthRose]

interesting, sweet, sad...life.

just one thing though...with all that smoke and your meat still didn't look well done..Lol!!!!

[Toracube]

One of these days I will get it right. And the cooking too. lol. Glad you liked the vid. Andy

[Phoenix4Changes]

i like originals... and mistakes are often part of originals and whom are "they" 2 say

a mistake

t

[Phoenix4Changes]

[Toracube]

Glad you liked the vid!! Sandi is great. I like her a lot. Just met her recently. Great to meet you. And thanks for commenting.

Andy :))

[sproutcentral]

Good to see you getting more adventurous each time.

Fascinating structure to this song and your meaningful lyrics really held it all together.

I see you still haven't learnt your lesson about BBQ's.

5*****

Dave.

[kentishbloke]

mornin' Mr C. Hope you're enjoying your new found fame lol Methinks the ventriloquist needs another outing. Maybe a Scottish dummy........

[sproutcentral]

Good morning Mr B. Yes I am enjoying the limelight thanks to you. But I've got to try and maintain the momentum, as we all know, todays rooster is tomorrows feather duster. The Scottish dummy is a very tempting concept indeed...watch this space...

[Toracube]

Thanks for the stars!! Still trying new things out. Haven't a clue what I am doing technically. Never really sure what works or not. I depend on feedback quite a lot. Thanks for listening.

I had to get busy as the crowd was quite rowdy. I was exhausted by the end of it though. No more barbies for a while, hopefully!!!!! Thanks again. Andy :))

[kentishbloke]

First class in every way. Send me the file and you're straight in Tims Week. And the vocals are great :)

[Toracube]

Thanks a lot Tim!! I am truly honored! and humbled. Glad you liked it. Wasn't ill this time. The weather was right. The coals burned this time without me puffing myself to death. Andy :))

[cinderellalifestyle]

Another beauty, and I love seein' the face of the sleepy lil beeb.OMG, so long since I've held one, I forgot how beautiful up close they are, exquisite......you are a wonderful singer,....we must tempt you out beyond the piano, and guitar, as best we can, more often-- I feel quite honored to have heard you fully, today. thankyou Andy--.I like the way the you've strummed so anxiously against the flow of the keyboard.......it is the angst ..VERY well done, and highly enjoyed.....

LaurieLee

[Toracube]

Thanks Laurie. I will have to practice a bit before I get behind a mic again. Glad you enjoyed the track. I wanted to do something a little different. It was quite interesting without the vocals. The song was written just 5 mins before I sang it. lol

Glad you liked it. Hope other people like the song too.

Andy :)) xx

[SanDiLee21]

Andy....thank you for putting into words and song (you sing just fine) what is in all of our hearts especially these days. Its a "personal" song for all of us. Yes, Andy.....of course I like it, its wonderful..!!!

[Toracube]

Thanks Sandi, I know I have already said thanks on your channel. I am greatful that it is featured!!! Very honored. So glad you liked it.  Andy

[liketheleaf]

So touching...

Don't know exactly why

Baby, Andy master of barbecue (!), God and all these people, faces all in one video

And tell me, why do you say you HATE singing, this can't possibly be true; you've got feeling + a good voice so I hope you'll feel more comfortable with singing and stop hiding behind reverbs (not sure it's the right word) xx

[Toracube]

I feel more comfortable hiding behind a piano. You can hear it in the voice as I do it. It's a "Oh man this must sound awfull" feeling. But I don't know any other singers so I do it. No more barbeques for a while!! Thank God. Glad you liked the vid Francine. Good to hear from you. Andy xx

[jennyschofield]

OH Andy. What a lovely, lovely vid. Is it the same baby that I said 'welcome to the world' to, all those weeks ago?? My, has she grown !! It's wonderful to see you relaxing with your friends again. (I've seen you before don't forget) haha. Love it... xx

[Toracube]

It's the same baby! Saw her for the first time yeterday. I had her for a while then passed her to anther lady. Two mins later she peed all over her. lol. Glad you liked the vid. I Survived this barbeque. Can't do another one for years!!! Andy xx

[OscarPetersonFan]

Just wonderful. The piano part makes me remember Beethoven's sonatas!

[Toracube]

My dad was a Methodist Preacher. Charles Wesley's music always touched me somehow. Thanks for checking it out. I try to do one a week. I am exhausted!! These things are hard work!!

[BigLoveZone]

The purity in the face of a baby. It is so confirming. Your singing is spot on, Andy. It has the echoing effect we all feel sometimes like talking into empty space. Then there is the strength of the piano that gives it substance. Very well done, my friend!!

[Toracube]

Thanks Bobbie. You throw these things out and hope people will like them. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy xx

[Sleepingsun4]

Wow Andy, I am so impressed......!!! Amazing tune, great video, interesting theme..you just keep getting better and better. loved the singing too !!! Päivi xxx

[Toracube]

Glad you liked it Paivi. I met the baby for the first time yesterday. If I had any doubts, seeing the baby helped a lot. Glad you liked the singing. I came very close to scrapping it. I put the words up so people can sing along. lol Thanks for watching!! Andy xx

[Sleepingsun4]

Happy you didnt remove the singing...it´s just the thing that gives a final personal touch to this...

I am so impressed by the ppl that gives themselves out there, on the line, with their creations..like you in this one!! Thank you! Featuring!!!
