It's a lovely song to play (when the camera's not rolling)
Overdrive - Distortion - Hyperactivity
Yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter

Really enjoyed that Nick... performance was lovely, really nice!

I hear you about when the camera is rolling... I feel the same. In fact even doing a normal audio recording affects me a little. But it is great to see other Songcrafters performing.

Nice one

This should not work, so why does it? 

It's inspirational.  I don't think you've lost your mojo, I think its on it's way to the surface

This is one of my favorites from you well done

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

Hook

One of my favorite songs, and I enjoyed watching you play it. I've always done it on guitar but it sounds great on uke.
rock on!

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Why have you lost your mojo Nick? (you can pm me if you want)

I thought it was great, you are obviously naturally musical.

I've performed as Hilary in front of 100s of people (well at least 5) but to record something as me like that would fill me with terror (plus I can't play anywhere near as good as you!)

What about a cover of A Town Called Malice?

Lovely video! It´s always very interesting to see Songcrafters at live! Usually people look different than you have thought. Beautiful song and very nice performance.

Thanks Ella and everyone

It's not easy to put my finger on. When I got back to work after I broke my ankle last year I kind of lost interest and dried up, musically. I guess I I lost confidence in a many ways and was under a cloud. When I was laid up with my ankle though I kept my uke within reach and it helped me and I've kept that up - I hardly ever touch a guitar now.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with a neurological condition. The opening lines to this song are words I found myself saying to various medical professionals over the last few years and that's really how I got into this song.

A very raw and stripped down version that works well. There's enough mojo there to justify more like this.

I know what you mean about the "red light" being on - it makes fingers and vocal cords seize up for some reason  ;D
