This is just a video I made driving through the snow in Little Rock on 1-10-11 the day after our “Mini” Snow Storm. I played my new song “New York & Light” and the cover I did of “Silent Night” on the CD player as accompaniment. I haven’t made enough HD videos with my iPhone4 so I wanted to start. Then I started playing with iMovie and there’s some fun things you can do in there. So it’s mostly just play and experimentation, but you might find the scenery pretty. Hope you enjoy the song too!

New Song: “New York & Light”
[audio:http://www.stephenpickering.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/New-York-and-Light-1.mp3]New York and Light (iPhone/iPad Link) You can download the song if you right click on the link and choose “Save” or “Save As,” and it will download the MP3 file.
So I took the little poem I wrote a couple post’s back “New York & Light” and made it into a song. I had this tune I was working on at the same time, so I applied the words to it. I added a couple more paragraphs for a second verse.
Lyrics:
New York and Light
East Egg above
They dance all night
The Jitterbug.Their dreams play notes
Her favorite song
Love lines he wrote
She danced alongChorus:
With eyes like that
That guy could sing
She floats him back
Across the sea.The city’s moon
It strums their tune.Verse 2
Long Island Sound
This is the place
It’s where she’s found
Stars light her face.There’s something there.
Behind her eyes.
Inside her stare
A thousand and one nights. -
Silent Night
I did a cover version of “Silent Night” with my guitar and Apple Logic. Merry Christmas!

New Poem: “New York and Light.”
New York and light.
East Egg above.
They dance all night
The Jitterbug.Their dreams play notes
Her favorite song.
The things they wrote
She danced along.With eyes like that
That guy could sing.
She flys him back
Across the sea.The city’s moon:
It strums their tune.

New Song: “Union Street (Hold On)”
Union Street (Hold On) by spickeringlr
Felt like being sparse with this one. No loops or click track. Just me playing and singing at the same time. Through in a harmonica overdub, but at least its me playing it and not a loop. Rather Dylanesque. I like it. -
New Song: “The Cinnamon Line”
Kind of a “Cosmic” Country number. I got that word from Daniel Tashian. I’m nowhere near as good as him, but I hope you enjoy! You can download it free to your computer with that little download arrow on the player. If you enjoy please re-share, “like” this page, or “re-tweet” or all three! To help me get a little exposure. Thank you!
