The car is the star

Post by maxgreenwood »

This is a 'zero budget' music video i made for my current single 'Frozen Still' starring my beloved BX.

I've been deliberating whether to post a link to it here on the forum as i know it should not be an er.. forum for general promotional activities, but seen as it shows off the BX and the estates load lugging capacity :D ... check 2/3 of the way through the song ... i thought there may be some here interested in viewing. My humble attempt to further the 'classic' status of the BX..

I quite enjoyed that, very clever & the singer was allright as well :D You do realise that you'll have to go to the National & start playing round the campfire :D The CCC will be stunned :lol:

Very good Max - you're quite handy on that ole Joanna and good singing and song too. The collapsible piano is a great touch too! :D

Then of course there's the car of choice of all serious musos! Frozen Still also fits with this parky weather we're having - everything frozen round here!

Yes, that was to be my next question Max :D Will it be available on iTunes?

Hope so...

Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's one of them self playing piano's that! :lol: I'm only gealous really :wink:

Fantastic stuff mate, I'm more taken with the song than the BX! The rumbling piano riff sort of reminds me of Jimmy Somerville's - I Feel Love!! (That's a compliment btw!)

Good luck with the music career. It may not sound much from a Bufoonery of beer swollen Bxers but 'you got talent'

thanks for all your kind words :D

i was only dying to get the link on here to see what you guys made of it.

A 'release' is a funny term these days for DIY musos of which i am, i've had it 'out there' for a month or so. I put the album out myself in June and got some good reviews and radio but things are pretty low-key and Dublin based at the minute... Strange seen as i'm from Notts.

The song is currently available as a free download from my site if you subscribe to my mailinglist. www.maxgreenwood.co.uk

And the album 'In The Blood' is available from the shop there and is on iTunes

I originally wanted to do the whole song in the car! didn't quite work out tho.
