No Bad Luck

Well... this one has been a long, long time coming. It started many months ago when someone visited the company I work for. He was moaning on and on about troubles he was having with business and his life.

Once he'd gone I said jokingly to colleagues that 'I wish he would 'f*** of and take his bad luck with him - before we all catch it'. Everyone seemed to find that funny.

It troubled me though, and I felt very guilty about saying it. That was the basis of my thinking about 'No one wants your bad luck' etc.

I then spent quite a few weeks or maybe months trying other things - but I kept coming back to this theme. Although, after a while it seemed to be more about the plight of the homeless. Once I had written the basic song, I asked my good friend Julian Sims if he would help me with some backing vocals. The sunday he came round he had played football in the morning and had injured his leg very badly. He actually arrived on crutches and effortlessly sang three part harmonies in no time at all. He is a great talent and is always surprising me with his seemingly endless abilities.

I also asked my niece Aisuluu if she would help with a vocal part, I am very grateful to her for the short but vital part she plays in the song.

I hoped against hope that my other good friend Christopher Chaplin would again turn a little song of mine into something. He was very busy with his own projects but agreed. I waited with great anticipation for a few weeks and then there it was, another stunning Christopher Chaplin orchestration.

This is my first attempt at a music video and my first forage into final cut express - a very steep learning curve.

There is also another video that you can find on my channel page with me chatting to Barry, one of the homeless people I met. I apologise for swearing a couple of times in it. I will at some stage be posting another chat with Ricky.
