This was my first time busking in Bury St Edmunds, and the first time I'd played this new song.
I recorded a djembe loop at home beforehand to save carrying the djembe!!
Lyrics:
Black Crow
There's a black crow in the branches
looking down at me.
They say that it's a bad sign.
Don't know what it means,
and the sun goes behind,
behind a cloud.
Chalk lines on the pavement
wake me from my dreams.
Soon they'll be forgotten.
Washed away by rain,
and the sun and the rain,
weave colours in the sky.
A clock is ticking loudly,
filling up my head.
No one ever winds it,
but it isn't going to stop,
and the earth moves around,
around the sun.
There's a black crow in the branches
looking down at me.
They say that it's a bad sign.
Don't know what it means,
and the sun comes out,
from behind a cloud.

thanks BD, yeah it seems to be different in each town. No licence needed in Cambridge. There's just a buskers code that you should try and stick to. I couldn't find anything out online about Bury St Edmunds, so just did it, figuring someone would come and tell me if it wasn't allowed!!
thanks turtlehead, yeah I quite relaxed when busking now...but still terrified when playing in pubs??!
That's a great song be. You look mighty comfortable out there.
thanks Oily...had found her on Youtube even with your spelling..sounds good!!
thanks. Mmm if you want simple and only want an instrument input, maybe one of the single Boss ones. The RC-3 is the new version, but if you want as cheap as possible maybe look on eBay for the older model the RC-2.
Another great little video Bemuzic, I am interested in trying to use a loop station but don't know anything about them. What loop station do you think I should get, maybe something as simple and easy to use as possible and not too pricey. If you have a recommendation I'd love it because it would save me a ton of research.
yeah they're great!! They're about £85 now new ...but you could pick one up on eBay for maybe £30 - £50
thanks Chris. The batteries seem to last for several busking sessions. I keep some spares with me.
LOL, you really should try that with the mask, and get some one to film it...I'd film you if you came to Cambridge!! People are used to eccentric stuff in Cambridge though, so they might not react much. Recently I was walking behind a guy that was dressed all in white, with his face and hands, hair all painted white..he was walking along chatting to a friend who was dressed normally. No one gave him a second glance!!
thanks John, oh right, in the manual it says you can't use them. Have you tried it?
