Review: Only By Chris Lanzon

Hello!

Today's post is going to be a short review of Chris Lanzon's cover of 'Only' by RY X, an Australian singer-songwriter, For anyone who doesn't know who Chris Lanzon is, he was a member of the band In Stereo who split up this year to focus on their own goals and careers.

Chris uploaded this cover on YouTube last Friday.

The video starts with his name and the title of the song and cuts to a close up of his hands playing the piano and then strumming the guitar. As Chris plays the first few notes, you are drawn in slowly. For the first minute, all we hear is the guitar. I normally don't like long introductions in songs but the images are just so beautiful, I didn't mind it this time. When he finally started singing, I literally said, "Wow!" He sounds angelic and as far as I can tell, he hits all the notes perfectly. The darkness in the room adds a mysterious, intimate feel. Throughout the video we see footage of him playing the guitar and singing in his room then cut to a beautiful location surrounded by trees, water with boats, cars driving across a bridge and birds flying over it. It looks like a very serene place and I absolutely love the panoramic shots in this video. When I watch the parts of Chris singing in the dark room with one small light, I can picture him performing this cover at an intimate show with a small audience sitting on comfortable chairs having drinks and a bite to eat. I wonder if he would do something like that one day. Chris' voice combined with the film shots gives me a feeling of peace and tranquillity.
Whenever I am stressed, I would play this to calm myself down.

I first heard Chris singing three years ago and I have always thought he has a beautiful tone of voice. Whether he is singing live for a large audience or by himself, he sounds awesome and you can tell how passionate he is about music. Chris is a very talented young guy. It would be amazing if he decides to carry on with a solo career. As you can see when you watch the video, Chris is a great producer and photographer so he could even have a career in that. Whatever he decides to do in the future, I know he will be great at it.

Well done Chris! Keep up the great work and I look forward to hearing more songs and watching more videos from you!

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
