Tower Block Musical: residents sing their lives

[voiceoftheuniverse]

Love the concept : )

[apol7lo]

I liked what I guess is its intention. But it would be better as a documentary. a song is too short.What do I think? So this is what our lives have become. We each are assigned a little cubicle to live in while we serve the big machinery. Ain't life grand, huh? I think there is more story to tell.

[AZ091416]

you only give what i want you to give. your'e frozen, when your'e ass's not open. ( it means, you don't want anything so what are you protecting ? the answer ultimately is = your life. do you like being alive ? ) if i could have your money, you'd never had to do anything.

[NewcastleMum]

Really great :)

[millervision]

Excellent!

[whataboutredlorry]

Big ups to all the guys that participated and sung fro camera... clearly would have been a nerve-wracking experience, and some of the words (especially the Janitor) are quite confessional.

Interesting project. They did really well.

:)

[chachaslide3]

great to see some fellow tower block sufferers telling their story. a bit of work needed on their vocals

[leviathan1987]

tower block "sufferers"?

[theparkey]

Luv this!! major respect for the idea!

Nice one.

This was excellent, its really good that you guys decided to do something, creative.

We had the same thing here called " The choir " where a small housing estate was taught to sing and then went on to Abbey Road recording studios. Keep it up. :-)

[Daarisha]

I love this. It's lovely

[thoomoo]

Great film-thanks for posting

[savvo49]

A really good and interesting film(no sarcasm intended with the "interesting"). This is the type of film that makes Youtube so worthwhile. Congratulations to Newcastle City Council in helping to fund you. Good luck for any future projects.

[shazcat1]

Love this format...people that stammer can articulate through song as well...thank you guys for that...how refreshing...........

[shazcat1]

I kind of fell for Ray how sad that his kids don't visit...the only reason he worked the ship yards was to make ends meet...his kids don't visit...how rotton is that...I like you x

[downhill240]

I had to come back to listen and watch this again. It's amazing how one focuses so much more attentively when the person communicating with them is singing instead of talking!

[antnhec]

thanks that's really kind of you...

[ktmad]

that was interesting!

(no sarcasm) cheers

[jamesjamz]

Canny good video! What camera are you using?

[antnhec]

A panasonic HD using the P2 format

[flamingjulie]

Great stuff. Is that the legendary Rob Meek with the mic?

[antnhec]

It is indeed

[derryhawk]

I think this is really good. I guess it is 'people documentary music.' What i like about it is that it is real. I mean it is real people in a real place, sharing a bit of themselves. Is that not where music started, as well as poetry, literature, painting, and dance? Yeah. Good stuff, and I like the band too. Thanks.

[sanchik]

Excellent video! Very original and fresh!

[MattieCooper]

Really Great! Love it!

[Zeljo777]

Very good idea.

Opportunity to express human lives.

Thanks for bring it on.

[da8iwr]

Also the text at the end reminds me of Sesame Street :)

[da8iwr]

Excellent work mate, one of my closest friends lived in Bewick Court a few years back (aka Fairy Towers). Ill send him this link so he can see it :)

I cant believe you managed to convince all these guys to sing on video :).

[bestiaccia]

Great video!

[downhill240]

Great vid. Great idea!!

[Cr3ativity]

This video was like stepping into the shoes of other people. I really like your unique presentation strategy (having words from five different residents of the Tower Block turn into a short song). You did a fine job antnhec : ]

[Urgelt]

You're on a very interesting track. Fresh, original, unpredictable, mixing the mundane and the profound to be found in ordinary people.

Technology has led us to a new thing: it has made the stories of noncelebrities accessible. What will Art make of this? In your work I am seeing the beginning of answers.

[Mondoshawn]

The idea is amazing, but there is something I miss in this one. Don't know what.

[tolllerance]

weldone that guys well done.5+

[gilliannicol]

really interesting

[eyeofthefly1]

this is really great and magical, hope it gets seen by lots of people.

[ponhand]

you always have these simpe but crazy ideas, kind of off the wall, but still very much realistic, and most of all human. thanks Anton

[macsh]

charming and real. your continued excellence in presenting slices of life helps me renew my faith in humanity. thx

[samsevern]

A beautifully created vid! FIVE STARS! *****

[antnhec]

wow thanks..all the best

[samsevern]

You're welcome! I loved it!! ㋡
