As per usual, there is a story :)
First of all I would like to thank all you that take their time and appreciate the stories behind the art.
I feel safe sharing these stories with you all.
It was a lonely and dark period in my life. I've ended a long term relationship and came back to my hometown. I had almost given up college and I was in the "eye of the storm".
I had a job, which meant I could buy things to drown my sorrow lol.
Naturally as a musician I wanted to have a nice guitar ( since I couldn't afford one with my "student" salary ), the easy choice was a Fender Stratocaster.
My friend who had more guitars than he could play decided this blue beauty wasn't his cup of tea.
He gave me a reasonable price and I fell in love with it.
I took it home and this song just hummed in my head.
Where will you be when the party's over?
Not a big fan of Billie Eilish but I know a good song when I hear one, and boy did she make one.
The song kept echoing in my head so I called my friends who know their stuff ( and have stuff ).
They borrowed me equipment for recording and I just plugged in and played.
I am really glad I captured this song in that exact moment, where I felt it the most.
The storm has passed as they all do, but I feel lucky to have this privilege of capturing the emotion in a piece of sound.
It is not perfect but alas nothing is :)
I hope you enjoy and thank you for reading
PS:
thank you for that helpful advice when I needed it the most.

- take three deep breaths.
This is the first time I'm hearing you play and sing. Wow, really incredible. I had no idea. I'm looking forward to more.
that is because you were not following my awesome music videos 😂
😭 Clearly, I am missing out on so much. Sadly, in my newness, I'm still really not up to speed with everything I need to learn and also want to look at on Hive.
I'm working on changing that, hence this lovely discovery. 😃
😂 😂
😁
Thank you so much, and please watch Bil's awesome music videos lol
nobody gets the coverage he gives to Padina musicians xD
I will, Bil is rather awesome, so I'm seeing. 😃
He is very much so, yes!
He taught a lot of people the meaning of dedication and kindness.
don't tell them that, people on discord think i am a hitmen from Russia :) @nineclaws will now dox me :)
Don't worry @bil.prag , your true identity is safe with me, my lips 🤐 are sealed, that's why my friends called me "The Vault". I keep all secrets safe. 😉
😂
found you thanks to @mipiano 's Original vs Cover post :) wasn't expecting this awesome cover <3
Yey, #OriginalvsCovers post works!!!!! 🤩
You are great @recording-box that you checked him out and supported!
Thank you so much! :)
Oh, I don't know if there is someone who would not feel this song in just pure emotional way you are spreading into our hearts. There are things that words can not explain, just the way how we sing or play an instrument. But I do appreciate so much the background story you wrote in the beginning. Like a needed intro to the song.
Now it is over, as you said. Life keeps going on, one has to learn to walk and don't look back. However, the lucky ones are also we who could listen to it, a moment captured in the past.
I took three breaths 😇 after listening...and can just say, thank you 🎶🙌
Thank you so much, I really appreciate this.
Your music is very good.
I don't know much about classical music but I see your joy and passion in it.
Thank you for checking out :)
I try to mix, sometimes I play just classical then have some phases of covers and then back to classical :D
Anyway, how would we play if not with love towards it :))
Agreed!
Perrrrfect cover you've done! Am not at all familiar with the works of Billie Eilish, learned the original through the 'original versus covers' post by mipiano. Beautiful song, for sure. Am also glad mipiano took your work as the prime topic for her third post. In this way, I learned about the song by Billie and I discovered you!
What if you would've not had a job? We may not have seen this work :) Any situation that may seem bad, has good sides to it. As you say: Maybe also good you were in a sad moment when playing and recording this one. The result is awesome!
Agree with you on that. Constructive sadness :)
Thank you
😉
