Rainbow Puddles

In all honesty, I well and truly have developed a hatred for singing. Which is a complete shame as I used to love it, and used to be chosen every year at my primary school to sing solo's in plays. With my dad being a karaoke DJ - I was always destined for music. It was something which I felt was forced upon me as a small child, as both of my older brothers are somewhat tone-deaf. I would now and again go to my dads karaoke, and he would tell me what songs to sing. This was fine until I started to develop my own taste in music, and started liking bands such as Arctic Monkeys and The Feeling - bands which my dad disliked. I don't at all blame him for my rather unhealthy obsession with music, but I do however blame him for the reason why I stopped singing. We didn't go out to the pub often, but when we did we would go to a karaoke, and he would pick songs for me to sing that he thought the audience would like. So if there were lots of old aged pensioners in the audience he would advise me to sing 'Crazy by Patsy Cline' or some other song which I didn't like.

This was the main reason - along with my speech impediment - why I decided to stop singing. And it is something which I admit to regretting. I started to write poetry and over the years my poems have developed into songs, which I sing whilst banging some chords on my keyboard. But it is only recently that I decided to record some of my own songs via a trampy webcam. Sound quality is far from what you would expect of a professional song, but it is something which I have wanted to do for a while now, so I recorded songs whenever I was alone in the house, and would convert them to audio files. I know that they songs aren't perfect, but I never got round to recording them again.

For something which has only taken me a couple of weeks, and considering I am not a computer geek, I think it's pretty good for something I've done, and I should be proud of my accomplishment. However, the songs are terribly quality and my voice tends to wander off and start letting dodgy notes out now and again. And the lyrics are somewhat politically incorrect and perverted, but I'm sure you can forgive me for that.
