Get a Record Deal From Your iPhone? applegirl002 Did.
Saturday, June 12th, 2010How do you use your phone? Do you text, browse the web, find cool apps to play with, or just use it to talk on the phone? Kim Yeo-hee, better known as applegirl002 on YouTube, has used hers to get a record deal. Just three months ago she started posting videos of her singing on YouTube. Sounds like thousands of other people, except she has something that makes her quite unique; she uses her iPhone to create the music. According to a post on Wall Street Journal blog,
What a way to adapt all this new technology to the very old art of writing music. I wonder how many people will try their hand at this now. Take a look at her Lady Gaga video entitled “Poker Face” and see what you think. She starts off with an explanation of the apps she is using; the song starts around 1:30. If anyone tries this themselves, I’d love to see it! Send your videos to Geoffrey@GeoffreyShilling.com.

Lyrics:
One day, one day, one day.
Sometimes I lay, under the moon
And thank God I’m breathin’
Then I pray, don’t take me soon
‘Cause I am here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday it’ll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin’ for
I been prayin’ for, for the people to say
That we don’t want to fight no more
They’ll be no more wars
And our children will play,
one day, one day, one day.
One day, one day, one day.
It’s not about, win or lose, ’cause we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent blood
Drenched pavement keep on movin’
Though the waters stay ragin’
And in this life you can lose your way (your way)
It might drive you crazy
But don’t let it phase you, no way (no way)
Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown)
But I never let it get me down (get me down)
So when negativity surrounds (surrounds)
I know someday it’ll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin’ for (waitin’ for)
I been prayin’ for (prayin’ for), for the people to say
That we don’t want to fight no more (fight no more)
They’ll be no more wars (no more wars)
And our children will play,
one day, one day, one day. One Day.
One day, one day, one day.
One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Stop with the violence, down with the hate
One day we’ll all be free, and proud
To be, under the same sun
Singing songs of freedom like
One day, one day. One day, one day.
All my life I been waitin’ for
I been prayin’ for, for the people to say
That we don’t want to fight no more
They’ll be no more wars
And our children will play,
one day, one day, one day.
One day, one day, one day.
