Empty Room
#200809.01
Duration: 4' 47"

An unplugged piano edition of an old song. This is the very first time I sang this song with a piano. It has now become my favourite piece to play (and sing and I'm not much for singing).

EMPTY ROOM LYRICS
Copyright © 1991 Zonnie Toledo
Remember when we used to laugh and play? We thought that it would last forever; we were having such a good time. Yeah, we had our share of tears; But we've always pulled through together; nothing can take us away. But now it's all over, it's time to end the game, 'cause it's all over. An empty room, we've all been turned to shadows, an empty room, an empty room, we're only memories for tomorrow, an empty room. I can hear our voices whisper in the wind, as memories haunt my mind, our laughter echoes from the walls of this... Empty room (x2), I've turned into an empty room, an empty room. But now it's all over; it's time to close my eyes and dream about you, 'cause you'll always live inside this... Empty Room (repeat to fade).

What is

ABSTRACT
Let’s Jam! is an infotainment/talk/quasi-reality/video magazine web show about everything music & video productions. It’s basically a music TV show about the music – what MTV should be.

The show was conceptualised last Christmas week 2007. I made some proof of concept videos last March 2008. The videos I’ve made thus far were filmed “live”, unrehearsed and unscripted… I originally intended to have a VLOG feel to the show but I’d definitely want to have an intelligible, TV-style format to the show. I have high ambitions for Let’s Jam! and I hope to continue garnering hits and attract myriads of audience.

SHOW SEGMENTS
- Making of the next hit song (viewers can submit ideas and vote in the 5 best submissions that I'll pick)
- Winner or Filler? - will the song be considered a winner or just another filler? Let the audience decide!
- Audition - discovering new talents (once a song is finished, I’ll audition for the voice and face of the song with the help of the viewers)
- Building a recording studio and professional media production computers
-  Master Class - guests ranging from electricians, sound engineers, performers, to entertainment lawyers and talk about various topics
- Garage Band - interview and showcase guest performers and bands
- 60 Hertz - a short 60 second review on tech gadgets, venues, bands, artists, albums, etc.
-  Indie 10 (Top 10 Indie bands/songs) – counting down the top 10 indie songs
- Sessions - short videos of live jam sessions
-  ViBE- Video Bulletin Express service – we produce and showcase artist’s short video resume as an insert advert
