'I am Nothing' has been sitting in my draw for nearly 10 years. In 2012 I was performing as the Lead Male vocalist in The Vintage Corporation, a Theatre Level tribute show to the 60's & 70's.
Our band manager and drummer booked us to record an album of cover songs, at the end of the process he wanted to add an original track to album in the style of the 60's & 70's.
During the conversation about writing a song I let slip that I wrote songs in the 1990's when I was a member of originals band ClearVision. That night we went home and I sat in the bedroom and within a short while I came up with the main musical structure and about 60% of the lyrics. However, struggling with the rest of the lyrics Tracey came to my rescue. She helped me finish the song off, therefore, I am nothing is credited to Reid & Reid
The next week we was at Dickens World in the theatre and during the sound check I showed the band the song. The following week in rehearsal we recorded a pretty decent demo (which I still have and if the guys in the band agree I might add it here in time). Unfortunately, we then went on a run of shows over the summer and were unable to build on the demo and the album was released, sadly for me, without the original song.
So I took the decision to finally re-record it all by myself and today I present it to you as my first solo release.
The song is free to Download or Stream from this site, see above.
If you like what I do and want to help me out in covering the costs of running this website/making of the music, then please donate via the 'Buy me a Coffee' button on this page. Donations are as little as £1 - so if you like the song I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Much love to you all.
