Today's Video Share: You For Me and Me For You by Doreen Pinkerton
This is a song I wrote for my husband when we were engaged. It was filmed by an up and coming film producer, a student of mine, in a course I wrote for videography, for home schooled students. I was the artist and facilitator and teacher of the course. Chynna Birkmire was the Film Director, along with her father, Mike Birkmire doing the editing.
I am proud of this young director, with the Blue Ridge Home Educators in Wilkes County, North Carolina. I taught in this support group to over 100 families for close to 20 years, hosting and organizing events, serving as President with my husband as support, for 2 years, and on the board for 5 years.
This song, You For Me and Me For You, is now on one of the three One Hope CDs. It is also on the Tate Music Group Cd Free Indeed.

Today's Video Share: Tinted Glasses by Maggie Schneider
Maggie's new EP, "Tinted Glasses" (produced by Rian Dawson of All Time Low) is all about what she has learned in the last two years about people, relationships, and of course, herself. She says:
"The single of the same name is the most personal track that I’ve written, and it’s about struggling to making a relationship work when the person you’re with is pushing you away. I wrote this song after a long, rainy day – I was feeling low and wanted to write something raw and relatable. I felt inspired so the song was written really quickly, and the video was made even faster.
Britain Weyant directed and edited the video – I wanted it to be really simple and for it to visually emphasize an unhealthy relationship, and the difficulties of connecting with that other person. I’m proud of how the video turned out because I feel that it captures the feeling of the song."

Today's Video Share: Dark Minds by Flor and the Sea
Munich-based Indie-Electropop duo Flor and the Sea was founded originally in 2015 as a 5 piece band project. The following year they released their first two singles Hold your Breath and Shed No Tear, accompanied by first major gigs at Digital/Analog, Muffat Winterfest and Import/ Export. Within short time they gained a certain notoriety, leading to renowned German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung electing them Band of the Week. After the sudden split up in early 2017, Marc Aretz (git) and Chaem (voc) decided to keep the project alive and continue as a duo. During the following months Flor and the Sea reimagined their sound from the ground up, incorporating new influences from the likes of Alt J, Radiohead and London Grammar. Testimony to this development is their brooding and multifaceted new single Dark Minds, which was released on March 19th 2018. Recorded and mixed by Moritz Enders, of Casper and Kraftclub fame, it features a vast and luscious sound world, rich in ambient guitars, ethereal vocals and vintage analogue synths, confronted by driving beats from a live drum set.
"The video features arrested rabbits and dancing foxes. The track builds up alongside the tension of the video with mournful vocals being joined by electro melodies and marching percussion. This track tells a story visually, musically and lyrically." York Calling
Today's Video Share: Falling Out of Love by Aloud Aloud
“Falling Out of Love” is the latest example of the prodigious output from Aloud. Long known for their progressive, propulsive rock and roll sound, band members Henry Beguiristain, Jen de la Osa, and Charles Murphy opt to add a generous dose of classic R&B to the drive and deliberation of their signature style. A horn section -- affectionately dubbed “The Feelgoods”-- reflects the ongoing influence of Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin and other classic soul singers of an earlier era. It is, the trio insists, a natural bridge from their latest album, the highly lauded It’s Got To Be Now, and their upcoming full length effort due for release in 2018.
The video was inspired by a news item the pair came across about the Cassini Legacy mission to study Saturn over the course of 10 years. de la Osa and Beguiristain envisioned Cassini and Saturn as past-due lovers trapped in a loveless situation. The duo perform the song amid scenes of the spacecraft and the planet dissolving their relationship. Haunting sounds of Saturn captured by the Cassini mission end the video.

Today's Video Share: Mathematics by Amira Hairston
My name is Amira and I am from the USA. Music has always been apart of my life. It was always around when I was younger, so it was only a matter of time before I got the bug. Now, I was a shy child, but once I broke out of that, I was ready. So, 'Mathematics' is a breakup song, so it details a breakup in a clever, mathematical way and the video is just the visual of that. You can actually see me as I make my way through the steps of that breakup. The video isn't mathematical, but it is a representation of the song.

Today's Video Share: Not Your Pin Up Girl by Katie Coleman
Defiant, empowering, and rebellious, three words that sum up Katie Coleman’s new single perfectly, ‘Not Your Pin Up Girl’ is released April 13 and is set to become an instant hit.
‘Not Your Pin Up Girl’ is a song that speaks to a generation of young people held down by the weight of societal pressures, it is a single that encourages everyone to break away from these expectations and live authentically.
Hailing from Darlington, this young singer songwriter is no stranger to performing, she has been gigging since the age of thirteen and writing music for much longer. It was in these early gigging days that she became acquainted with James Arthur, a relationship that ultimately led to him asking Katie Coleman to support him on his UK tour. Katie has also supported Nothing But Thieves, shared a stage with Mel C, and has top-lined on a Tinchy Stryder record.
‘Not Your Pin Up Girl’ starts with vocals and a paired down piano accompaniment, a decision that lets Katie Coleman’s voice truly shine. She has an incredible range, and she moves through the octaves with a natural fluency, a feat made more remarkable by the depth and power of her voice. The track is then taken up a gear with the inclusion of a bold and commanding drum beat, an addition that matches the powerful sentiment of the track. ‘Not Your Pin Up Girl’ is a song that encourages women to be authoritative and confident, and this is helped by the strong drum part.
‘Not Your Pin Up Girl’ has a clear feminist message, it is about women reclaiming their bodies and their style. “I didn’t put this dress on so you could take it off / I didn’t put this lipstick on so you could kiss is off”, it is a song about women doing things for themselves, and not for men. It has a truly inspiring message.
The accompanying video for ‘Not Your Pin Up Girl’ is just as empowering as you would expect it to be. It was shot in the streets surrounding Manchester’s G.A.Y and, the message is clear: look the way that you want to look, and be the way that you want to be.
‘Not Your Pin Up Girl’ is strong, bold, and powerful. It is being released on April 13th, and if this single is anything to go by then 2018 is setting up to be a very exciting year for this courageous young singer song writer.

This song is dedicated to freedom from abuse, to inspire the listener/singer with the courage to say 'no' to what feels wrong.
The songs I write always have the intention to uplift and cause something good to happen. They are about heart desires to come true.
A big thank you to James Quinn at JAM Studios who impressed me big time with his kindness and the production.

I would like to thank U2 for infusing me with bliss from their music at my lowest times.

Today's Video Share: Singing My Song by Kimberley Witkowski
My name is KYM D.I was sexually abused by my Step-father from the age of 4 to 10.5 years old. I wrote "Singing My Song" to have a voice for myself, to put my shame to bed because he was the one with shame not I. I once may have been a Victim but now I stand strong with many others as a strong-willed Survivor to tell my fortunate story of triumph. The Producers of the TV Show Blue Bloods on CBS found my voice, story and song a project of LOVE and donated their time in there off season to produce my video. I am grateful for the opportunity and just pray I can be an example to many that it is possible to Overcome darkness & find the light. XOXO,KYM D
