 | Yep, it's another video of me wandering around (no surprise THERE! LOL) . . . . I've become QUITE accomplished at aimless wandering in my 56 years on the planet LOL
I've always found airports around the world to be a really interesting "ecosystem" to observe . . . happy people arriving for holidays or to see loved ones, sad people leaving loved ones or flyin' back home to return to work, sad people arriving after great holidays, happy people leaving for vacations, bored business travelers rushing about, new visitors to the country with anxious looks on their faces, as they try to negotiate through an airport they've never been in before, parents tryin' to keep track of overexcited young kids who are racing around everywhere . . .
The song I chose for the video is "Leaving on a Jet Plane" . . . I've always liked this song, particularly the Peter, Paul, & Mary version from my younger years, but I've always thought that the lyrics of the song would make this song a great candidate for a romantic duet between a male and female singer, yet I was unable to find such a duet on iTunes, so I created a duet by inter splicing audio clips from the John Denver version and a version by Brit singer Sophie Barker. . . . THANKFULLY both singers sing their versions in the same MUSICAL KEY! LOL, so that made the splicing project VASTLY easier!!
For those that have never heard of Sophie. . . she's a singer best known for her work with the British down tempo group Zero 7. Sophie left University College London after two years to become a full-time singer, signing with Sony Records. She is the co-writer of the band's biggest hit, "Destiny".
Barker released a solo album, Earthbound, in 2006. In 2006 she was also featured in a British Airways UK television campaign singing her version of "Leaving on a Jet Plane". |
