Sing-along!
Hey everyone, I think that after I posted the last Mission Arcade Online video of "Hallelujah" ( https://youtu.be/wz6LHCqCWBU )from three years ago, it sparked some interest in doing another one! (For anyone that needs a quick explanation, I started with one video of me on the ukulele and everyone recorded their own performances on their phones using my video as a metronome and sent their videos to me so I can make that compilation!)
Anh-Thu Nguyen suggested my holiday song "Everything is Broken", my “holiday song for the displaced” that I wrote on Thanksgiving in 2010, and I love the idea. Here’s the original if you haven’t heard/seen it:
Here's the thing: Ok, let’s do it! Now, I just got out of the hospital (Update: turned out to be a kidney stone) and I'm not feeling too vocal, so I just recorded myself playing the ukulele and I gave you guys lyrics/subtitles, so if you guys want to record yourselves singing or playing an instrument, here is the reference track:
EVERYTHING IS BROKEN (ADD TO THIS!) on YouTube
You can also download the video here, if that's your thing:

HOW DO I ADD TO THIS?
Simple! Just shoot a video of yourself singing along with the video above (some people are playing instruments as you can see in our David Bowie: “Space Oddity” video, here: https://youtu.be/XddmigeJfcs ) and just send the video to me so I can edit everyone together into one big sing-along video!
__________________________
Please send this to anyone you think might want to contribute to this for the holiday! I'm thinking that the deadline for the last video is December 6th. That gives me that weekend to edit everyone's videos together in time to make a holiday video! Again, sorry I'm not feeling too great, (and again, mum's the word - I'm not trying to play Tiny Tim, here) but I think that just my ukulele should be enough to set folks off in creative directions!
Hope to hear from you! And now I'm going to sleep LOL
H.P.
PS. I added some new folks to this list and if you're wondering what #MissionArcadeOnline is about, you can see the other sing-alongs we did, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz6LHCqCWBU&list=PLtsK410lMJJ1-p_H6YYfi8M4XKNgfhZ8B
