I've been mulling over a video idea for this song for ages. Finally, a few weeks ago I decided to ask a talented actress to star in this clip. However, with her, myself and Patrick all trying to be creative, (and no game plan) the ideas that took shape on the day of the shoot were pretty damn terrible. Haha, I mean, we were running around a park, me chasing her, then her chasing me, getting angry at a fence, walking down a railway track, sitting next to a tree... it was so fucking stupid. Fun, but when the footage was looked at afterwards, I basically just scrapped the lot and put this song on the backburner. 

Until yesterday.

Something just clicked in my big brain and I hopped onto trusty ol' facebook. Within 10 minutes, I'd set up an event to ask for people to send me in selfies with the word "SUNRISE" somewhere either written on them, or on paper in the shot somewhere. I gave everyone a 4 hour deadline, then sat back and waited.

Within 4 hours, over  60 people sent me their selfies! It didn't matter that they were at work or home, they grabbed something to write with and either wrote on themselves, or postit notes, or a piece of paper and took a quick snap with their phone. I was beside myself in gratitude and humbled by the response.

So this inspired me to treck back out into the woods this morning, with Patrick behind the camera, and make this video about how positive the world can be. How quickly people can band together and work as a team when called for by someone they know will do right by them. It didn't need effects, it needed the raw sunlight and a steady hand (Thanks, Patrick!). 

It needed a positive can-do attitude, and a lot of hands-in-thigh action afterwards because HOLY BALLS IT WAS COLD OUT THIS MORNING! Worth it.

Enjoy the song.

Trackers is proud to present "HOPE".

We enlisted 36 voices from around the world to sing the chorus of this epic, awesome track. Take a listen!

We've got some Newgrounds voices on here as well! There's Khris , Real Faction , Sillytune  and  Troisnyx !!!

Because this song is about Hope, Trackers has decided to donate all profit from sales of this song in it's first month to The Kids Cancer Project. 

Buy the song here: https://trackersrock.bandcamp.com/track/hope

In terms of the rest of our wonderful World Choir, we had so many accents going on individually that when I received the vocal tracks, I was overwhelmed with how this was going to come together... but putting them all on top of each other, like a wholesome voice orgy, they melted into one another and it just sounds epic! 

I'm going to include a list of everyone who was involved, because they totally deserve the credit whever this is posted!!

TRACKERS covered "Mad World" this week. Check it out! FREE to download right here on Newgrounds. *wink

>>Click to hear Trackers Cover of Mad World<<

Why did we cover this song? I have a weekly TwitchTV live stream and on it (last week) y'all said you wanted to hear a cover of Mad World by Trackers. So we did it. #foryou #in1week

Got another song idea for Trackers to cover? Tell us! Better yet, come say Hi on TwitchTV this Thursday. The Trackers band members are normally lingering in the text chat to hunt down great ideas. 

Oh you didn't know I have a TwitchTV stream? Well now you do. Tune in every Thursday at 8pm EST for random twitching. 

I know Trackers haven't release much of our music (yet), but I'm going to plug our Patreon page anyway. Get on and support us in these early days as there's so much awesome shit coming your way - you'll want to be ahead of the curve. "We were fans before they were a thing" you'll say. >>PATREON<<

On a personal note, I released Take Over at 2am this morning. I was inspired. Check out the sexy* videowoo-hoo!

*Goo-goo eyes at the camera while I sing you a chillin' tune 

Another song spawned from my Black and White series on YouTube and Patreon. 

This one is an actual animation though... like, all of it. Which is weird for me because normally I get really freaked out by the magic of animation and end up just plastering my face in an awkward way onto some film and shoving it into everyone's life. So this is refreshing.

Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Love is only what you make it
If you're rough, you'll probably break it
Take a book from my shelf and read a page.

I see your face
I see your eyes
I know of everything that makes you smile
Cause all I wanna do
Is love you

I felt an overwhelming bliss
When I took you by surprise with that kiss
And all you wanna do
Is love me too

There may be people
In this world that don't agree
But that doesn't matter
To you or me - no

We started on a midnight stroll
You warmed my heart when all I felt was cold
And all I wanna do 
Is love you

I wrote this song for you
To tell you all the things I know are true
And all you wanna do
Is love me too

And all you wanna do
All you wanna do
All you wanna do
Is love me too

Born from my Black and White improvisational session (Black and White songs S02Ep10) ! Just goes to show that constant improvisation helps bring out some really fun tunes. Thought I'd share. :) 

Ever wondered what you'd do first as a Super Hero? Like, what's the first thing you do? Get dressed? Put on your shoes? Fly somewhere? Well, this song tackles those Super Hero issues that one might have, in the most plain way. Is that a good thing? Sure. Let's say it is.

♫  Want the song?  ♫ 

Either watch and re-wach the video on this post, get it from my website or email me (music@myhaniart.com) with a picture of yourself in a Super Hero get-up with this video in the background so I know it's actually you, and I'll reply to your email with the Mp3 for free. Suddenly ... I feel like a villian. MUAHAHAHAHA GIMME PICS OF YOU BEING SUPER! 

I've not actually had anyone on my Fan Facebook take me up on this fun offer... maybe someone from Newgrounds is daring enough? I place the ball in your court, gently. Your move. ;)

**********************************************************

On a side note, remember to go check me out on Patreon! Here you'll find my Black and White songs.

FYI: COMPLETELY IMPROVISED MUSIC AND LYRICS
(Here's the most recent example)

Thanks!

Hehe. This video is weird. Let's just move past that fact. Enjoy!

Alright, so a whole bunch of time goes by and I find myself being told by an awesome fan that this website called Patreon exists. I go onto it and immediately think "WTF is this? WTF was that?" Like this: 

Then I figured it out and thought:

And as a funny, I set myself up with an account. Here it is: https://www.patreon.com/hania

Currently, I'm into doing my stupid Black and White Songs on my side youtube account Hania Zdunek which bring me so much joy and happiness you have no idea. So I thought "THIS will do nicely on the Patreon thingy because I'm not going to stop making them and thus, won't let anyone down if they do decide to back me." 

Well. WHELL. I got backers! I fell off my chair in gratitude. So I wanted to share this happiness with you all.

Firstly, because a lot of people here are amazing and should be given an opportunity to make even more money from their work. Your animations / Games / Music can be put on Newgrounds and fed into Patreon! I just want to stress that point... In no way do I want you to EVER stop submitting to Newgrounds. 

Secondly, because I know I have a bunch of supporters on here - that maybe you'd like to get in on being a Patron of mine and getting monthly rewards for your support! This includes Free Mp3's, downloadable wallpaper, Skype chats, Artwork, custom songs ABOUT YOU and the invitation to come to my house and be on an episode of Black and White Songs. Plus, I'm sure I"ll come up with other fun ideas in the future ... feel free to suggest them.

So that's my story. Thanks for reading. 

Manu Forti and I have come out with another song; this time it's about murder of the necessary kind. 

Watch! Comment! Share!

Also, in other news, Manu Forti and I are working on another track and we need your vocals!

If you can sing, message me. I'll send you through the details and we'll get the ball rolling. We don't want to take 100 years so if you get in contact with me in the next 24 hours and can turn around a recording in a further 24 hours, and can sing a basic tune to a simple beat (that's important) - message me. Do it. Get involved. :D

So this is a little weird, but stay with me here... I really like Radiohead's song CREEP. I really do. I like it so much that I wanted to make a cover of it, but to cover an already perfect track in the same musical style is... well... not something I'd do. Why change a perfect thing?

SO INSTEAD I totally changed the mood and went full FINGER SNAPPY TIME. 

The video is something I whipped up from all my outtakes of previous video's I've done for the world wide interwebs ... I mean, the song is about someone who isn't quite right - which is me, generally speaking. And I'm OK with that. :)

, the last two weeks have been pretty exciting! I experienced my first ever American Football game between the Colts and the Eagles. We ended up (magically, somehow) in a kick-ass suite with unlimited booze, food and the most awesome view of the game! And the Eagles cheer leaders even came to the room for a visit. They told me my dress was adorable. I totally blushed. 

THE ROOM movie night was a complete success! 

I had the rules up on the fireplace:

• Drink when someone walks through a door
• Drink when someone says "Oh Hi (Character name)"
• Drink when you see a rose or a spoon and;
• Down a whole glass of something when you hear the line " YOU'RE TEARING ME APART!" 

Honestly, you'd get hammered just from the door rule. But stupid us decided to follow each and every stupid rule and to no surprise we were off our face by the end of the movie. Then we opened a Polish spirit in a mandolin shaped bottle, some chocolate wine and something red and started to mix that to create shots I don't know but the next day was death for us and I've sworn off booze for at least another week. SUCCESS!

A few days later, we babysat 2 dogs! Yay! One was a black lab that took a shit on my deck (he's super old, it wasn't his fault) and the other, another (more fun) version of my carpet. :) 

After the week of dog-sitting, we went to Six Flags Great Adventure with my Roller Coaster Junkie-in-training Niece and we took her on her first ever adult roller coaster. NITRO. Immediately after that, she dared to ride her first ever looping coaster; BIZARRO! I'm so extremely proud of her efforts! She's only 11!! It was a really awesome day. :D

MORE MUSIC NEWS

I made a new song a few days ago called "TO BE SUPER" and I'm working on figuring out some video stuff for it.

If anyone wants to help brainstorm some ideas, message me. Music is my thing; video making... not so much. So all and any help is appreciated! 

Or even email me directly: music@myhaniart.com 

Seriously, if you want to help me figure out what to do, email / message me and I'll send you to the track to ponder on. ;)

APART FROM THAT, I'm working on a video clip for Manu Forti and my song "Turn The Lights On" - it's (hopefully) going to be the bees knees and up within the next 2 weeks. He and I finished another track the other day called "The Ride". You can LISTEN TO IT HERE. And we're almost done on another track (just needs guitars) ... so you could say we're on a roll and pretty much on the edge of releasing an album with all the songs we've got in the bank! 

Whelp, that's my update of the last 2 weeks. Time to continue on doing what it is that we all do. Probably go play some newgrounds games or jump on pintrest. There are a range of options. 

Thanks for reading!
