Unobtainium

The story continues- for those who missed yesterdays post on this song be sure to check in on my feed and i am sure you will enjoy it.
Unobtainium is a song i wrote in 2010 i wrote the music first as a solid guitar riff and i used that first on a Happy Birthday song for my son. The week after i was thinking i want to use that riff in a proper complete recorded and produced song. I was contemplating the rhythm and ideas for lyrics, i knew i had to get the lyric idea sorted before i could complete the song with a chorus section of music.
My luck turned when i went to see 'Avatar' i was amazed when i saw the screen image for the mineral they where calling Unobtainium. I recognised it instantly from my collection of semi precious gems and crystals, it was Galena a crystaline form of lead.

I was delighted that they used a rare but real crystal and that it was one in my collection. In the movie the mineral Unobtainium had a value of millions of dollars and was used for the main source of fuel to power a future world.
It was funny over the next couple of days my thoughts kept returning to the Galena and Unobtainium and i had a good feeling everytime i thought of it.
Soon enough i realised it made a great lyrical hook for the chorus of the Happy birthday song i written earlier.
I looked up Unobtainium in google and found it was term given by scientists in the 1950s for substances they knew existed but hadn't yet found, i knew then it was regular word and not something that could be under copywrite by the script writers of Avatar.
Well soon enough, i wrote the basis of the lyrics and posted me singing and playing it on electric guitar onto Youtube to see how it went over. Wow heaps of response and i got some links from a couple of famous people as i have outlined in the previous story i did on this song- be sure to read that one too.

Here is the artwork for the completed single as released through itunes and amazon

I knew i had a great song (ego) and thought it would make a better album title song than single, i recorded it with my producer and put it aside for the completed album, so that it would create interest for the album release.
For reasons that i will keep personal, my producer pulled out of the project before all the songs where finished and i never released the album, i was emotionally drained and so depressed that i stopped recording and releasing music.
I put the finished Unobtainium song out through CDbaby but i had lost my momentum and couldn't raise the energy and enthusiasm to video a Youtube posting as the music video so it did nothing and i never really tested if it was a good song in the market.

Thanks everyone who has stuck with me to hear my story of Unobtainium and i hope you can understand why i had such high hopes for it. Anyway life pulls and pushes us in various directions and i ended up going down a different path. The music time, with the writing and recording was some of the most enjoyable parts of my life, and it only lasted around 8months.

I got married and needed to get serious about income and went into Landscaping.
Still though my music drew me heaps of followers on Youtube, Facebook and Twitter and now i can slowly bring them into Steem and help build my following here and build the whole network for everyone. I am connected to a large number of wonderful and some famous musicians too and hope i can influence them to coming into Steem and adding value with exciting new content and stories.
