WISH AWAY-SERENA MATTHEWS (MP3)

Het derde lied van Serena Matthews op deze muziekstudio.blog.

Van haar site: This whole internet music thing that has sort of engulfed me lately all started when In February of 2001 I uploaded some really raw, home-recorded songs to the old mp3.com website. Just me and my acoustic guitar. Amazingly enough, people began to find me and they began to ask for more songs. So I began to record and upload more songs, and before the original site closed down in 2003 I had over 100,000 downloads from that website alone and had recorded my first album, "Dreams for the Broken". I’ve now just finished recording my second CD, "Soul Searching". Both albums are home-recorded and I produced them myself. The quality is raw, and there are plenty of flaws. I kind of like them that way. It’s my opinion that most times if you hear a song that sounds absolutely perfect, then somebody’s probably faking something somewhere. I don’t ever want to fake anything. Too many people are out there faking it for the money and the fame, and that’s not what I’m about. What interests me most in life is my family and my friends. That’s all I need really. My music is a hobby, it isn’t my whole life. I guess most musicians wouldn’t say that in their bio, but I’m just being honest. I love writing and singing, but I love my family more than I could ever love a song.

BLACKBIRD FLY AWAY-SERENA MATTHEWS (MP3)

Okay well I’m originally from Byrdstown, Tennessee. (you’ve probably never heard of it, it’s a super small town located in the smallest county in Tennessee). Byrdstown is the kind of town where you can’t go to the grocery store without running into someone you know – or the bank, or the post office, or … well you get the picture. You can escape at Dale Hollow Lake though, which twists and turns through the county. I miss the beauty of my hometown, and the simplicity, and of course my family. If you are from Byrdstown and you are reading this and wondering who I am, well I look pretty different from my high school days now, and also in Byrdstown people know me by my first name, which is not Serena.

WHAT IS KEEPING MY TRUE LOVE THIS NIGHT-JACQUES MEES EN DAGNY V/D LOO (MP3)

Dit nummer is een ruwe mix van een Ierse traditional.
Een duet met zangeres Dagny vd Loo (folkgroep Ogham).
Het nummer heet; what is keeping my true love this night.
Met de koele woorden van vrouwelijke zijde.
AND WHEN YOU’RE NOT WITH ME, I LOVE WHOM I PLEASE.
Jacques Mees
