Probably Shared This One Before

I dabble in music if I have not said it before. I do original music and covers. And SOMETIMES when I do covers, I do little videos. So, that is what I am sharing here. A cover and a video I did of that cover. My little rendition of "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel. I don't know why I used the pencil sketch cartoon thing with this one, but it seemed to work. What are your thoughts?
Just playing around with video editing as I prepare to put together a couple videos for Pink Flamingoes album. Besides that, had a lot of fun doing a groovy ...

I don't remember watching the video but I remember hearing this cover. Good one.

@lovebuglena Even with the more 'elaborate' covers, like this one, they take hours and hours to do. I have to program in all the drums, and because it is just me I have to play the bass and guitar parts, and of course do my best to sing the lyrics... It takes enough time just doing that. And because I don't do this for a living, I am not sure the "labor of love" extended to making videos is necessarily worth it. Even if they are fun to share.

I have probably shared both the song and the video at some point. I wish I did more videos, even for some of my original music. But it is SOOO time consuming.

one of the best music to listen to while doing any work and the sketch looks cool and funny.

Thanks. Not sure why I chose that effect for the video, but it seems like it worked well enough. I was happy with it.

Not sure why I decided on the pencil sketch effect, but it seemed to work well enough I think.
