Music Video Shot In Ballybane!

robwade06

I am an unsigned artist from Galway City and have just shot the music video to my song in Ballybane, where I grew up. Everyone involved was local and I don't think anything like this has been done before. The song is about my own personal life experiences so I'd like to hear honest some public opinions, good and bad... Here's the link to it:

The song sucks balls.

muppetkiller

Very well made Video robwade06 and the tune is pretty catchy...The Vocals could be slightly louder though.

I like the tune and would like to hear it with some more editing but being honest watching grown men wearing tracksuits trying to be cool, just makes me laugh (sorry).

But there's definely a market out there for this type of music and sounds like it could be a great tune live. Best of luck with your Musical venture.

Very impressed with that Rob........ Loved it, done very well!!

I've many friends from ballybane/castlepark so will post it to my FB page. Many of them knew Mark and probably know yourself so they would love to see this.

Well done again:)

GalwayGaillimh

Catchy song and great video well done!

biko

Not too bad.

Placebo Effect

Fair play man, getting out there. Best of luck with it.

Recognise a few heads too.

gary s

The video came out good rob.The song sounds even better in the video

zero19

Fair play to you, good oul tune videos good too.

Have you sent it in to Ian Dempsey on Today FM?

He's playing an unsigned act most mornings lately.

Might be worth a shot.

I liked it. It was raw with a little bit of help it could be good IMO.

yeehaw

Fair play. Also, well done on surviving on the streets of Ballybane for all these years.

Mike...

Not bad at all, vocals def need to be a bit higher

Galwayps

Well done. Pretty good and really well shot

ourtrail

Great song really catchy, I think the video is great too really entertaining!

TerrorFirmer

Actually a very catchy song. I liked it. Could see that becoming popular. Well done. Though I'd agree with the vocals being just a little louder, maybe...

Interceptor

mikom

Guitar/Guitar synth sounded good.

sealgaire

for people who don't know ballybane, thsi is how they actually are . .

This is not a skit.

Even though it looks like one!

they are happy out in their little bubble

JohnCleary

Well done, you're doing more than a lot of others are at the moment anyhow.

inisboffin

Not my cuppa tea tbh, but well shot, and fair play for doing stuff as opposed to talking about it in this town!

I disagree about the vocal level, I thought they were grand. They sat well in to the mix. Often when new artists do stuff the vocals are way too loud and sound separate to the music. Thought yours sat in grand.

swe_fi

This put a big stupid smile on my face man

I was gonna "rate" the song say what I think about the song but you know what, it doesn't matter...its honest, its catchy, people will probably like this, in fact, i hope they will. Of course, quality (music, production) can be improved, but i like it the way it is just because it is not polished the **** out of.

I don't like this gangsta jibbi jabba really but what i really like about this is that it is honest - you can really tell that you're doing your thing, you like it, and that is that.

Asmodean

Like others have said the style isn't what I like but fair play it's production values are really something else and I can tell fans of the genre will love it. It is quite catchy.

s_carnage

First thing that came into my head (J-Roc):



Well done though, really catchy tune.

mikom

I know wat yer sayin.....

I thought it was a bit 'boyz in the hood' but if that's the way people dress then so be it. I thought the video was really well made and it's a good song. It's poignant to hear suicides mentioned in there too.

wayfarers

The video editing is pretty sharp and really well done, I really liked it. Fair play to you and best of luck with it.

Malice

The video is well put together but I found the faux American accent very irritating.

Diabhal Beag

Not a fan of the song but the video was well done.

LadyMayBelle

Not my cuppa tea but fair play to you nonetheless...I'm eastside myself and saddens me so so much that many of my friends have taken bad paths in life, heroin, alcohol, and suicide...yeah we get bad press being from Ballybane, Castlepark and Clareview, but people deserve a chance. Good on you Rob.

Mars Bar

The actual editing of the video is very, very good.

I find the people in it a big cringeworthy but that's just me. I don't like that style.

That music wouldn't be up my road but I'm sure for people who do like it, they would really like it!

Well done and best of luck with it!

What a terrible song.

If you're going to refer to yourself as an "artist", you might try write / sing a song about something meaningful.

The generic rubbish (in content and sound) you're currently pursuing will see you unsigned for some time yet.

Redhairedguy

Fair play for having the stones to get out and do something creative.

Was it Kamil that shot that? Looks amazing!

starship

well done, its great:)

Panthro

I like it, I think its pretty catchy.
Great to see someone getting out there, making a genuine effort and channeling a bit of creativity.
The girl standing beside you up against the wall looks pretty hawt too!:pac:

Thats your 2nd post in the thread, both as pointless and idiotic as the other, why bother, have you something against the lad.

Well done Rob, not bad at all, video is very well done too.

Some more informed analysis of it below than the BS above.

You are always going to get smart ass negativity in a public forum.
I wonder where some of the greats, such as the Beatles etc fit into it with 'meaningfullness'.. (yellow submarine, lucy in the sky etc )
What is meaningful to one whole section of society, such as a song of this genre, might have no meaning to another. To state it is 'Generic rubbish' is the poster actually stating that they have no understanding of any other genre than that which they hold highly.. It doesnt have to be liked, for it to be applauded for its effort...
Art, wether it is music etc. is ofcourse subjective... and anyone who has any insight into art obviously can conclude that art does not have to be 'generically' meaningful.. and does not have to mean anything.. The term 'artist' or 'recording artist' could be used to describe someone who makes strange noises then records them then releases them (such as very successful musicians Nurse With Wound etc)
So, to sum up, if you are going to comment on something someone has obviously worked hard on, just to say it is ****e.. in a rude and condecending way, well, it just reeks of dimness, dullness, and bitterness, ofcourse all things anyone is entitled to be, but sad nevertheless x

Jez I'd give the fella a lot of credit in that he's at least trying to put his own spin on hip-hop/rap and the lyrics are by and large acceptable by Irish standards.

However after linking a friend earlier he informed me of this lad, GMAN, also from our fair city.... and honest to God Rob blows this fella out of the water.

This other lad is completely trying to rip off American Rappers real cringeworthy stuff.... :pac:

loser2old4board

Wouldn't be my favourite kind of music, cos I'm from an older generation.
But it's still a good catchy tune/song. I really liked the video.
Very well done!

ZzubZzub

Hey Rob, I love this! Very very catchy.

While I'm not from Castlepark, my da is from Mervue, all my relatives live there, Castlepark and Ballybane. Recognise you, aswell as a few from the video!!

Don't mean to get all sappy, but that song is very touching. Know a few of the lads who unfortunately aren't with us anymore, know a few that knew Mark. I don't think alot of people realise just how much of what your song is about, is really daily life. There have been too many suicides in recent years, it's awful.

On an incredibly lighter note, I've a craving for some bucky but I'm stuck abroad, where I can't get it..

Best of luck with this, it's honestly a great piece of music.

Doctor_Socks

Buckfast mentioned in a song! There's a first for everything!!

Fair play OP, for all the supposed 'artists' in Galway, I haven't seen much that have the balls to go out and get themselves noticed. Music isn't my favorite type but I enjoyed it anyways.

flugel

Impressed!

orangebud

spinandscribble

music wise not my thing, i thought it was gonna be silly but it didn't come across as try hard and the video was very well edited. I agree the vocals need to be louder but otherwise it was entertaining and i'd be interested to see what else you'll come up with.

robwade06

Thanks for your honesty guys. It is what it is, plain and simple. Whether people like it or not it's real and we're just being ourselves in the video, no actors. I never sang a song or played an instrument untill 2 years ago so I'm happy with what I've achieved so far. This song will be judged on by Bob Geldof and top music industry producers and critics next November in the YouBloom Music Awards Grand Final so I'll wait and see what they say about the production before I even think about changing anything. Believe it or not this song started off acoustic and I've another 10 songs written with acoustic backing so I'll be putting them up as I finish putting the rest of the music to them. For the person who asked who shot it?? Yes, it was Kamil, he's very talented and Stephen Patrick Kenny, of One Shot Entertainment, directed it. Thanks again and all comments, good and bad will be appreciated!!

orangebud

at least he is still alive as at 25 cause gun crime is massive in castlepark hood! load up the pipe you deserve it :pac:
