This Blog may be deleted soon

I have to put a lot of effort in to maintain my official websites, Myspace and facebook.

 I am finding it harder to also maintain and update this site. Seems to have been pretty quiet here lately anyway.

This blog has also been pretty buggy. Things like Youtube embedding dont work despite following instructions exactly, so I may be taking this blog down soon.

I will save all the entries however from our international performances, in preparation for  writing a possible book!

Film Music

Introducing "Loves Resurrection Music" for Film, TV and AV projects.

Sally Cooper and Phillip Stone offer music for film, TV and AV presentation projects. We have a particular interest in working with film makers on inspiring humanist, humanitarian, social & environmental consciousness & new age projects. (Projects that serve the common good of people and the community on a local and global level.) Sally Coopers' collaborative musical piece with film music composer Mark Skipper from USA "Inside Beauty Lies" was used on the film "Skatin 66" which was screened in May 2009 at The Buffalo film festival New York.

Spreading That Stuff

I am presently featuring another song from my "Perfect Universe" cd. at my myspace page:

http://www.myspace.com/sallycooper2

"Spreading that stuff"

Enjoy!

Genre: Jazz swing,  written by Sally Cooper and Phillip Stone. Sally Cooper on vocals, Phillip Stone on guitar, Gus Fenwick on bass, Ross Nixon on keyboards and Kerry Jacobsen on drums.

Its about the amazing transformational power of the spoken word whilst used in gossip.

Lyrics

I heard something extraordinary
You heard something quite contrary
It grew legs and became quite hairy
and it ran around spreading that stuff around town

Did you hear about Freddies sister?
She was transformed by a Chinese whisper!
It was the frog that went ahead and kissed her
now he hops around spreading that stuff around town

Now the aliens have landed they've abducted all her clothes
All she's got is a small green hanky that she uses to blow her nose

Truth is betrayed by another rumour and its love child wicked humour
Its not a headache its a tumour and its going around spreading that stuff around town

The thing with idle gossip is if you havent got it you have to flaunt it

Its an empty house why dont you haunt it and fly around spreading that stuff around town

If you value the opinion of the one who really knows, the horses mouth is waiting right beside the phone

Do you need another story to fill that empty cup?
How those false teeth love to chatter
How I wish that they'd shutup


The thing with idle gossip is if you havent got it you have to flaunt it

Its an empty house why dont you haunt it and fly around spreading that stuff around town
