Like some of you may know, one of Tara's hobbies is to explore and share music with people worldwide, since 2010 she found an interesting way to do this online through some music contests. Yesterday evening her song "Challenge" was uploaded in it's full version to YouTube via MelodyVision, which was the first online contest she ever joined. When I first joined MV back in 2010 I was pretty confused, I had to look for songs from my country so they could make a themed video for it to participate, yes I thought it was like Eurovision but worldwide, still was a bit confusing and I didn't get much into it, but little by little I started to love it, a lot of great music has been sent to that contest and also I found some other interesting contests to join, but never sent my song until now. So like I said it is kinda like Eurovision and every contest edition has a theme based on it's current host country, here comes the reason why I decided to send it now, not before, not later. This edition is hosted in Cardiff, Wales and I know it is not real is just an online theme, but I find it quite symbolic and felt it was the right moment to send it, Wales is the closest to Ireland which was a host country way before I even knew about the contest, I could have tried some months ago during the Glasgow edition which was my personal favorite, but it was a local language theme (yes sometimes I should send only songs in Spanish) so I couldn't send myself then. Right after it was a free language edition hosted in ...Tallinn so no, long story just no, I decided to waita bit more. Then all my projects started to take more shape and I decided to release my first EP which is coming out very soon on May hopefully and then Cardiff! Yes, now is a good one! Some of you may know that I love Ireland, I even went there when I was younger and I wish to go back there someday so the symbolism is important to me :) The video was up and it already has a very good feedback from MV players, you gotta see that video is really nice I loved the green colors since the first moment, and the Welsh dragon is just perfect! Challenge is a song about dealing with problems and getting over it as soon as possible but of course is not an easy thing, it's like "fighting with a dragon" simply great. They make awesome videos, I even learned some Photoshop tricks from them really cool, so no more talking Thank you MelodyVision for all the fun and great music shared this is a chance for me to share my song with at least 1 person from each country, that already is a huge thing to me, means a lot! And here is Challenge!! Also check this out!Yes, winners are all pretty famous but there are also great not so famous songs. For me, this ones are a great example: La Sole <3
So yes, for me this is wonderful! :D Hello family, friends and fans, today is my birthday oh dear I am getting old... anyway, hope you're all having a great time, this is just a short post to share my newest song also in here 'cause I published specially during this week as my gift for you all, for always being there. The river is maybe the only happy song I've ever composed so I saved it for a happy day (I think). Song is about life, sometimes we all are quite like a river, going through life as best as we can, facing our ups and downs, relationships, jobs, careers, our corrupted country's systems etc etc... and anything could happen nobody really knows what's next, so that's what the song's about. A friend already told me that the instrumentation is pretty Scottish-Irish and yes, I made it intentionally, as the song was made by me and the metaphor is that we all are like rivers, then I wanted to show with music what kind of river I would be, a happy and cheerful one yet with a bit of the Celtic melancholy, quite transparent with turbulent rapids (yes I am impatient) and some abrupt falls (yes I get very depressed sometimes), still a slow and long river, pretty normal... So here it is for you hope you like it, enjoy and have a great day. Today I won't have a party (from what I know...) instead I will spend some hours at the studio recording vocals for my most recent song "Crickets waltz" so if everything goes according to the plan I could be showing you a preview of what we have until now. Ok, "The River" You can also download it 'til Sunday evening! love Tara |
