Hey! It’s Wednesday! And like Chuck, I couldn’t pick one. My favourite/inspiring musicians change all the time… But at the moment my top three would have to be Jason Munday, Alex Day and Georgia Germein.
Jason Munday
You may or may not know of Jason Munday, but currently he’s on of my favourite musicians and YouTubers. He’s in the Wrock band Ministry of Magic and in another band called the Oceanic Six. If anything, you may know him as Skyway Flyer, which was the name of his first album. He lives at Echo Base with Luke Conard and Alex Carpenter (both favourites of mine too).
I don’t know how I found him, I think I just stumbled across him whilst flicking through YouTube and warming up to him. His music is a mixture of acoustic and dance-techno. And his lyrics are brilliant…
“Endless roads beg for travellers. Come and run with me.” - Endless Roads
“Shining eyes so full of wonder...” -Some Imagination
He does all of his music, lyrics, vocals, the music parts and the videos. Ahh, I love him :3
A few of my favourite songs by him:
(If you look at the uploader’s comments ^.. MINE’S THE FIRST ONE! I was extremely happy those two days.. {Meekakitty replied to another of my comments})
... I’m going to stop with Jason now and move on.
Alex Day
:D ALEX DAY! NERIMON! I love him, love him, love him. Best friend and roommate of Charlieissocoollike, Alex is a British YouTuber and Musician. A solo artist but part of the band Chameleon Circuit (Songs about Doctor Who.. They are awesome.)… I have all of his albums. (My parents are wonderful at Christmas) I love them all, The World is Mine more than Parrot Stories.
I stumbled across Alex in the way a majority of other people did, through Charlie. I think the first video I saw of Alex’s was The World is Mine.
Just reading his DFTBA wiki page..
“He is mostly known for his frequent strong language, abrasive attitude, intense hatred of current-day video games and obsession with sexual themes and innuendo; the majority of his videos are therefore aimed at mature viewers in comparison to fellow YouTuber Charlie McDonnell's family-friendly, lighthearted ones. Although he has many fans whom enjoy his crude humour and ranting abilities, some of his videos have faced negative reaction.”
This basically does cover his whole YouTube thing.
I love all of his songs, they differ from each other but are similar in some ways. His lyrics are brilliant...
“Tomorrow’s still a day away and will always stay that way.” - Not Just Yet
“Then pen is stronger that any sharpened sword, but anything I write to you makes me feel like a fool.” -The World is Mine.
A few of my favourites:
There’s no video but here’s the link to Dead and Gone
A live version of a Thousand Hours..
Georgia Germein
Now last and surely not the least is Georgia Germein. I know how I found her. At my Youth Group last year, a speaker for the 40hr Famine and her came. Georgia spoke a little about the missionaries she’d been on and then proceeded to play us some of her songs which I instantly loved. She’s 19, Australian and from Adelaide. She was last years South Australian representative for the 40hr famine and I find her as an inspiration to me.
Her music is mainly acoustic and she writes about her experiences. Now that I think about it... Her music is quite bubbly.. Uplifting. She’s amazing ^_^ My favourite songs by her are and If Only and Wake Up.
She only uploaded her first 2 music videos last night, and I love them both :3
Here they are…
I’m Home (filmed in Adelaide)
If Only (filmed in the Adelaide Hills)
Wake Up (This song inspired me and made me really like her)
That’s all for now folks!
But on the topic of music; I’m getting into the 60’s… I watched the Boat That Rocked over the weekend and immediately decided that if I was to life in any other decade either than now, it’d be the 60’s!!!!! Pirate Radios and the birth of Rock 'n' Roll :D. Tell me in the comments.. If you could live in any decade, which one would it be and why?
Chuck; loved the music and I hope you’re feeling better soon!
Emily; I will check him out soon!

I discovered Jason Munday fairly recently too! I've been considering doing a piano-vocal cover of his song "Don't Leave." Hmmm. I like Alex Day as well, although I hadn't heard of Georgia Germien. I like the videos you posted though!
ReplyDeleteIf I could live in any decade (based on music) it would either be the 40's, when jazz was good; or the 70's, when rock was good.
By the way, I found your YouTube channel, so if you see a friend request from someone named WoodrowClock, that's me. :)
Dude... Jason Munday's sideburns. That's all I have to say.
ReplyDeletePostscript:
that should be a question for the next question week!!!
