  This is a more up to date cover. Last year, a few people requested that I sing a song by a band called “The fray”. I finally managed to get around to doing one a short while back, because of the backlog of requests that I have. I ended up going for a song of [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: Don’t let yourself go   3 months, 3 weeks ago
  

  Now to the 55th video. This has to be one of the best REM songs ever, and is fantastic to sing. I can’t remember how many times I’ve sung this song, but it’s quite a lot. It goes by the name of “Everybody hurts”. A song you can really get your teeth into vocally.This is [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: You are - An Original   3 months, 3 weeks ago
  

  This song was recorded before all the other originals I’ve put up on Youtube. It was recorded about 4 years ago. It was recorded in a studio in West Worthing.Here’s the story behind it.I am not really a fan of entering competitions, but my local pub ran a karaoke comp, and all my friends kept [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: Original - So Blue   3 months, 4 weeks ago
  

  Now for another original. The title of this one is “So blue”. I wrote this one a couple of years ago. The idea was to try and start with one style. Then change the style part way through the song. It all matched up quite nicely with the lyrics. The first part of the song [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: Me singing This years love   4 months ago
  

  Here’s another song that I have sung a number of times, and it’s quite popular among my friends. It’s probably one of the most well known David Gray songs.

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: Looking for excuses   4 months ago
  

  The song I chose to do next was one of my all time favourite Coldplay songs. One of many great tunes on the album “A rush of blood to the head”, and it’s called “Warning sign”. I had to use my guitar with this one, because I don’t have any backing music for it. So [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: My rendition of Eternity   4 months ago
  

  Here’s another of my requests. It’s Eternity by Robbie Williams.I said before about how my list of requests was growing too fast. So I decided to stop taking any more. This hasn’t stopped them coming in though. I’m still getting over 5 requests for every video I put up. I have to resign myself to [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: Never looking back again   4 months, 1 week ago
  

  A number of months back, one of my friends asked me to do “America” by “Neil Diamond”. I finally got around to doing it :)It didn’t matter to him that it took so long. He was overjoyed.I’m not going to say too much else about this one.Here it is:Me singing America by Neil DiamondNot so [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: Going nowhere   4 months, 1 week ago
  

  This is the first video that I used my guitar in. I’m not a competent player yet, but I’m learning. Rhythm play is about the level I’m at, at the moment. So I selected a number that used some simple open chords. This one was originally by “Tears for fears”. It was the first of [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: All of the time   4 months, 2 weeks ago
  

  This is the third out of 3 on the trot. This is a song called “All of the time”. It’s another slow number.I have to say that virtually all of my Original songs have been pretty well received on Youtube. There have been lots of very good comments.Check out my Original song “All of the [...]

  This is the 2nd Original of mine, in a row, out of three. The name of this one is “Escape”. This has been one of the favourites amongst some of my friends.

  Now for some Originals. This is the first of three. The name of the tune is “Convey”. I wrote this song late last year, with the intention of making the first airing of it on Youtube.I have been more than happy with the great comments on my Original songs. There’s been a lot of positivity. [...]

  On to the second of two Neil Diamond requests. This was another of his big hits, and my Youtube vid has done very well. It’s viewing figures are just about double that of the previous video.The song is “Hello again”. If you know Neil Diamond, and you haven’t heard of this song, then you need [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: Video 39. September Morn   4 months, 2 weeks ago
  

  2 Neil diamond songs on the bounce now. This is one of my favourites to sing. It’s a wonderful song called “September morn”.These two Neil Diamond songs were requested a while ago. I’ve been keeping a list of requests, and It’s so big not that I’ve had to stop accepting any more. I’ve got about [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: I see a bad moon rising   4 months, 3 weeks ago
  

  Now for something from “Creedence clearwater revival”, and the fantastic “Bad moon rising”. It’s a great song in my opinion, and this gave me the chance to use some of the effects available on my sound card. The maximum simultaneous effects I can use are 2, so I opted for Reverb and Slap Back Echo. [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: So many changes   4 months, 3 weeks ago
  

  This is a cover I recorded about 4 years ago. It’s different to the other cover versions, in that i didn’t sit in front of the camera and sing it. I had some really positive feedback on the use of male vocals in this song, so this is why I decided to put it up [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: Anybody there - An Original   4 months, 4 weeks ago

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: We were playing hard to get   5 months ago
  

  Now a special song. One of my friends on Youtube asked me to have a go at this song. I had real problems finding any backing for this, so I ended up recording the music myself, but differently.The song was “Here today” by Paul McCartney. Now Paul McCartney wrote this as a tribute to John [...]

• Jeff Edwards wrote a new blog post: High up above or down below   5 months ago
  

  This next number is probably one of songs on Youtube that has received the most attention. It’s one of my all time favourites, and one of the best tunes that Coldplay ever produced. The one and only “Fix you”.This is my crack at it:Me singing Fix You by ColdplayUp until this post, this video has [...]

  Here we are at the thirtieth video already.This is an Original song that I penned a while back. It’s called “Why don’t you ask”.It’s at a faster pace than my previous originals. I had a mad moment where I wanted to create a hook in a heavy song with a vibraphone., and the results are [...]
