Welcome to the second video. This second video contains two songs, “Evergreen” and “Killing Me Softly.”
First “Evergreen.” A song made famous by Barbra Streisand. This is one of those songs that grew on me. The bass part seems easy. I should be playing every note perfectly. 😬
Dynamics are extremely important in a song like this. Swells in any other version of up-and-down and volume you can think of or highly appreciated. I wish the chart had more dynamics written. Unless they’re trying to tell me be almost the same volume the entire time. I think it’s just an old chart and they expect the bass player to listen well.
The second song in this video is called, “Killing Me Softly”.
I know, I know, the Fugees did it. Everybody telling me that they did it is annoying. I don’t care. It’s not what we are doing. The version we are performing doesn’t sound like the original and it doesn’t sound like the stupefied version that they let the Fugees do. Don’t think Puff Daddy didn’t have something to do with that. Suspect all your musical heroes.
Anyways, the version we’re doing is in a musical feel we would call a twelve-eight shuffle. It’s swinging and it’s not straight. It took two or three rehearsals for me to help people figure that out.
I don’t remember how the previous two versions of the song felt… I think the original is a straight ballad feel. This version we’re performing is reminiscing of east coast gogo music.

I liked the work that the band does, I have seen the first video too, for this video I have left you a more complete comment on YouTube, which I think will benefit you more than here.
Your band is very cool brother (whenever I have time I like to come here to your wall to enjoy your work, you are another of those "unicorns" in hive that I appreciate so much)
note: I don't have HP right now, but I sent you as a token of my appreciation. I know that for you it's probably ridiculous, but for me it represents a great show of support on my part, since I'm small.
Thanks for the kind words. I’ve never enjoyed being called a unicorn until now. Thank you. 😊
I am grateful for your comment on the YouTube video. Thanks for following also. Your comment is extremely valid. I wish I could’ve cropped the video better. I want to remove the person from the background and lots of editing was required because the video subject/BassMe was moving around a lot.
Thanks again for your comment. Video three coming soon.
By the way, we have our final concert this Friday and I might have a few more videos after that concert next. My goal will be to allow nobody to stand behind me. 💪
What good news, I suppose you are very excited about the concert, I want to see the result, and rest assured that I will be approaching here and on YouTube as soon as I get the notification, if you want you can tag me so I can be more aware, now Sometimes I overlook publications that interest me like this one, within the enormous sea of interesting things.
Maybe it's a good idea to have a wall behind your back, so no one will pass behind you (but perhaps due to the ironies of life, they pass in front of you 😀).
Thank you for being a kind person, I really appreciate it, and know that I enjoy your work, brother.
Sounds good, I will remember to tag you.
Yes, there will probably be a wall behind me. It will probably look something like this…
It's very good, it looks quite eclectic. Are you going to play sitting down? o.o
Yes, electric base. Going to stand up.
That was very cool.
I wish you the best, I look forward to the video bro!
Thank you!
