This is the FIRST time I've turned my drums on since May 15th, when I was obliviously recording an @openmic entry while my Mom was crushed by a large tree that fell on her through her windshield when she was driving.  I literally had not moved a single thing on my set since her accident, except the dust and clothes that collected on it.  

This is also my first DLive video. The upload process seems smooth.  I just had to convert my video to mp4.

It's been a challenging time since, but life is starting to get back to normal.  My Mom miraculously survived and will fully recover from very severe injuries that had her in the ICU for 3 weeks.  After moves to several rehab centers, she's almost ready to go home.

I love this version of The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" by Imaginary Future.  The song is so mellow and peaceful.  The melody and lyrics are moving.

I decided to download this song today and figure it out on my set.  I added wind chimes, a rain stick, and a bell as auxiliary percussion.  I then chose the roller coaster affect to add to the overall experience.  

This isn't perfect, but it does the trick for a quick turnaround before my neighbor got home.  It was fun to zone out for an hour or two.

The lyrics to sing along are below (don't be shy).  Enjoy the show.

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places 
where all the veins meet yeah, 

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people 
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places 
where all the things meet yeah 

You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?
