Our musical journey to la la land takes many twists and turns. A cover version of a song (created by our good selves) found itself on to a web site called 'singingfish' which locates MP3's on the internet and provides a front end search engine for users. Bizarrely, and undoubtedly mistaken for the real thing (i.e. the original massively famous song), it was downloaded over 1000 times in less than a month. Imagine the disappointment of the downloaders when they realised it was a cover version by some unknown bunch of never has been's and never will be's. But I like the idea that it has been listened to by so many in such a short space time, even if it wasn't what they were looking for.
As all of this was a complete surprise I have been forced to try and track down the publishers of the said piece of music to request that we can do a cover. The phrase 'after the horse has bolted' comes to mind but at least it shows willing. You don't want to mess with the music industry as (in my humble opinion) they are one of the greediest and protectionist industries on our planet. Still, I believe obscurity will prevail and our cover version will be buried and forgotten in no time at all. On the internet, a few days is like a lifetime of endless information. Its gone already.
