Blast from the Past - Mothership's Dressed To Undress video

There's been a bit of talk about Mothership recently (the band I was lead singer of 2004 - 2006) so I've been listening to the old tracks we did and even had a look at the video we recorded too.

I remember the day we recorded it... I had been out the night before and was absolutely wrecked, I was out in the car with my boyfriend Douglas at the time and our mate Chris and I got phone call from the band reminding me about the video shoot.  I quickly got myself back home and changed, make up on, pineapple alerted (I used to tie my dreads above my head and it was known as 'The Pineapple' haha) and got myself on the next train to Sheffield.  I've always been a little camera shy when there's video cameras around so I had no choice but to forget my hangover from hell and get some drinks down me again.  I soon got into it though and we ended up having such an ace time shooting the video - you can see in some of the scenes that there was rather a lot of frivolity at times ;-)

I've pasted a link to the video below :)

Blowin' In The Wind

I was never a major Dylan fan up until he released his album Together Through Life back in 2009 - it was one of my favourite albums of the year and then after that I got a hits compilation (which included 'Blowin' In The Wind', and then a few of the earlier albums too.  He's always a favourite to cover with male acoustic singers but I like to think I've changed this just a little bit to make it my own.

I watched the sunset today
Over the urban sea of life of grey
But it stands pretty
In it's own way

I wanted to be on my favourite cliff top
To be out of my suit
And out of my socks
But I was 400 miles away

It shone from the sky
It reflected on the road
It was the topic of conversation
For every speaking soul

But I Woke Up Heavy...
I Woke Up Heavy...

Have you ever tried to clench your fists
After just waking up? You can't do it
Just as you're rising
You're at one with the world

A peaceful serenity you can't reproduce
At any other time, for any other use
It serves a purpose
So keep it in mind

I got home
But I didn't have my tea
And now I'm in my room
Looking forward to my dreams

I Woke Up Heavy...
I Woke Up Heavy...
I Woke Up Heavy...
I Woke Up Heavy...
