I'm even getting tired myself of saying it, but I was going to lay off posting for a while (no, I'm being serious this time) and concentrate on the album thing since so many people have asked and I've been wanting to get something together for a while.

HOWEVER, I woke up this morning with a truly awful headache and feeling generally unwell. I took the day off work and logged into YouTube to find my good friend from across the pond, jimski123, had posted a fabulous song, and, in the description, a request for Eleanor Rigby. See, me and jimski had this arrangement a while back, in order to keep the ball rolling that we'd take it in turns to post - spur one another on, however jimski has a life outside YouTube and has just moved house (with a swish new music room)... Anyway, here you go jimski - I hope you dig it. It's quite different I think from the original but I don't have a string quartet in residence so that idea went out the window right from the outset.

Anyone who hasn't checked out jimski's channel do - I draw a lot of inspiration from his natural style and his careful choice of tunes. He also has some great originals, though he seems to be keeping these under wraps. This said jimski, I take your request and raise it an original ;-) Up to the challenge are you? :-P

I have also set up a myspace page for music and the like. At the moment it has nothing on it (though I have two friends including Tom, whoever the hell he is). If anyone can tell me how it all works then that'd be appreciated, otherwise I'll buy a book on HTML or something. The link is on my YT channel.

Apologies in earnest to any hardened Beatles fans who think I've slaughtered Sir. Paul's masterpiece, twas not my intention.

Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where the wedding has been
Lives in a Dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Ahh, look at all the lonely people
Ahh, look at all the lonely people
Ahh, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Ahh, look at all the lonely people
Ahh, look at all the lonely people
Ahh, look at all the lonely people
Ahh, look at all the lonely people

I'm having trouble deciding if I like it or not--but I haven't turned it so that pretty much means that I do. Good job making this your own!
