"Ladybird Year" cover version.

This is a cover version I recorded of Talis Kimberley's emotional song about growing up. It struck a powerful emotional chord with me, so I went and made my own version:



The original lyrics said "I went to camp / with the girl guide pack". If I sang those lyrics, it would have an altogether different connotation, so I edited it slightly to reflect more closely the experiences from my own youth.

It really is kind of a shame I never knew how good-looking I was.

ETA: I actually made two versions of the song - this one is a bit more poignant and was performed with my ukulele (3 ukulele parts, to be precise). The video is more-or-less the same, except this time you get to see me playing the uke in the middle:

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
