  • This music video includes my first project using Garageband. I used some of the MacBook app features for adding tracks and effects.
    The original song recording (and music video) popped into my head a few months ago, and I started learning the tune. The music video from 1989 is tops, and inspiring.

    Sorry that I missed this when it came out, but I am glad I finally found it. I wasn't that into FYC back in the day, but I learned to appreciate them in later life. The toy piano was a great touch!

      @@VoxRox Thanks Chris! I was in the same boat. FYC came in hot for a couple years, then they were gone. I paid a little attention. But “Good Thing” always grabbed me. And the music video with the Vespas was so cool to me. When I studied the song a few months ago, I was drawn in by the piano bridge. The keyboardist put together a kickbutt solo and the live versions are awesome. Of course, I cannot emulate that, but I came up with the 8 bars to fill in the slot. 😅

    Man alive, that took me back to the 90s when I noticed that a rendition can be as good as the original! I love what your voicing does to this song, and thanks for including the part about how you made this, really worthwhile 😄👍

      Thanks Micah. Your feedback is awesome. For some reason, the FYC video hooked me last year (as it did some years ago) and the song kept pulling me in. So I learned it and readdressed it 😅

      @@MicahScottPnD I'm glad you got a kick out of that. I need to write down how I came to that ending, so I don't forget. 😵 I mean, for a few days, I kept wondering, "How does this thing end?" And I knew that there were several ways to go.

      @@rydenbrook Well, you found it, that's for sure 😉 Songs that fade out, I'm often wondering "What did they do this live?" But now, they can just call you 😂☺️ So enjoyable, the sounds and the sights!

      @@MicahScottPnDHaha yeah! I’ll take the call. Could be fun. 😊 I agree with you on the fade-out outros. Some work OK but it seems that many are simply faded into the part where the things start to fall apart on the take.
