Welcome to Episode 90 of my podcast view from the crow's nest. It is Thursday the third of September and I am your host, Mr Romeo crow coming to you through your ear holes. Well, today. Excuse me. Yesterday, I think I was feeling a bit low I can't really remember, but it was a day of you know just kind of trying to get myself motivated yesterday trying to get on with work. So today I thought I would do something which probably motivate me straightaway which is starting the day with music, rather than trying to get into work and. Excuse me. As a consequence, I mixed or remixed the track, a song called east, which is going into the lab for next week the lab is my private member's club where I release a new bit of music every week, amongst a lot of other things. And then afterwards, I wanted to find the song for the week after because what I'm trying to do is every week do two songs two posts for the lab, which is the songs themselves. And the story behind the songs videos. So, every week I kept kind of one extra week ahead of myself. And so, I was looking at listening to a couple of songs and there was one song called worrying times, which I think was from 2013, I think something like that, perhaps earlier. And I'm sure I did some kind of recording of it somewhere but the only recording I could find was one of the original ideas so I could find two recordings. Now both on my phone acoustic guitar and vocals. Not very good recording and, but you know good songs so I thought, you know what, why don't I do something crazy see this is just an acoustic guitar vocal and rerecord it because I haven't actually recorded a track, like guitar, vocals with ever since probably about January or something. So I thought, let's do that. Let's just get the part of my, you know, just get out of your ego and have your old environment has to be right or I have to have done this so I can just get on with it. So I did. And so I recorded a version of it it's a track called worrying times as I say, and it's it's part of my bond suite, my James Bond suite. So one of them already released a few years ago which is called Please don't make me cry. And then there was this one called worrying times and then there's another one called me and what it's called. I can't remember what it how it goes, but I know this around somewhere, and the three of them collectively to my mind are very bond esque songs and in fact were written to be kind of bond esque songs. Eventually, I'd like to have the orchestra on them and everything but I'm getting a little ahead of myself because really, I need just man if seven years later to record an acoustic guitar and the vocal part so let's, you know, let's take things one step at a time. But um, but nonetheless I worked on music for probably about, by the time I did that mix that one I was probably about three. About three o'clock before I kind of got on with quote unquote real work. But it did, I gotta say it did really feel good to, to just focus on creative, you know, music and so that was cool. And I've had quite a few people ask a different note, the grip the sky experience which I released last weekend. I had, I sent out a survey, because I wanted to find out from the people who I thought had seen it, you know, a bit of feedback from them principally I wanted to know how I could improve it, because as you might have heard earlier in the week I was saying that I felt quite disappointed that there hadn't been much actual interaction on it. And I had some lovely messages back from people and on this survey had really nice responses for everybody. Either mostly five stars out five, otherwise four stars, and then, you know, lots of other nice things and it was an anonymous survey as well so no one has to feel obliged to buy anything but. So that's really cool but I still haven't had a particular response on on it you know and interaction on it so that's still a bit concerning because that's really important that it motivates peop
