Tonight on Jake's Showcase http://youtube.com/JakesShowcase I have just released "Jake Johnston - "We All Fall Down" First Cut" https://youtu.be/XwFfPPNG8es currently at 21 Views 3 Likes 1 dislikes. It was 4 takes with spotlight lighting.
This one was real close because the first and the last takes the fourth was real close. Because my fingers were starting to get real sore since I hadn't played in a while I only could manage 4 takes. The last was clearest with the words but the power I felt from the raw first take I decided was the best. Really I stumbled on this first take and true fans who actually read the lyrics which I always put under the video will notice that I mistakenly changed on word not intentionally on the fly from how the song was written using pill instead of bottle in the second verse.
Hey I wanted to move back to music. The three in a row comedy was fine but the music has the highest potential of viewership as music is the most viewed video type on YouTube so any one of the music videos could take off and I think this is a passionate, well written and pretty well executed song. I am aware that the guitar was out of tune and had that corrected for the last take but overall the first take was best even with the mistakes of the out of tune guitar and the mistaken words. There's something special about mistake ridden originals, captivating.
I chug along in my job with 4 days I took off for Canadian thanksgiving only two more weeks for well deserved rest. I am doing ok at my job but I am essentially winning because I am steady and my breaking records mind frame has placated to just do as good as I can, try to get better and just hold firm.
I am not able to get hired in London as I am seen as some sort of symbol, a little to much of a package for an employer to take on as I am now somewhat famous in this city, a symbol of a whole lot of things and a person who employers just think, "you know what I'm just going to go with someone else."
So in the meantime try to make the best of it. May 20, 2016 is today's projection for when I will pass 1 million views across the channel and nothing will change for me location wise until this has happened.
Personally, emotionally...really I think this song does a good job and I know your still watching.
Dear, dearest, why? How about now. Let's talk, let's hang out, let's kiss and make love.
Until...until the end of time.
Have a wonderful day or night fans,
