I don't know why...

...I sounded so bad yesterday. Maybe I was eating too many nacho chips with salsa con queso.

I said I was going to take a few days' break from recording, but then I realized I'm running out of time - I'm with my parents for most of August, then I move into my new room, and then the school year starts again - to get enough decent material (decent meaning better than the stuff on the first volume (unofficially called "Legacy")) for a second volume of actually good stuff (tentatively called "Strange Secret Hobby") to submit to Arjen-of-Ayreon-Fame. But AoAF is going through some personal issues right now (he just got divorced not too long ago) plus he's moving house and I don't know if it's really a good idea to send stuff right now anyway.


Anyway, I digress. I know I blabber too much.


I know it's the middle of July, but in an attempt to beat the heat, I've been listening to Christmas music. So here we are.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - "An Angel Came Down"

The high note in the improvised middle part is about as I as I can reasonably go (it's a high G#). I'm not sure I could do that note with words though.



(I hope I didn't tick off any of my new neighbours doing that.)



Edit: New version - Right here.

Nah, it's just that I'm royally pissed off at people who tell me I need lessons. It's the worst thing someone can tell me. I'm so sick of it.

I KNOW I DO. I can't do it now, but I love to sing and I'm going to continue to sing until I do and beyond, no matter how crappy people think it is. Even when I do get lessons I'm going to focus on breath technique, not range and style because I want that to be completely under MY control. Anyway. I just finished mixing it.
Here it is.

I didn't say, that I deem your singing crappy, and I surely didn't mean to offend you.

I admit, that I wanted to show off my musical analyzing abilities.

On the other hand, I remember you once mentioning, that you don't need people telling you, how great you are, since you know that already.

So the only way of showing interest that I could think of at the moment of posting was an analysis - which is what I do most of the time anyway: I analyze whatever I encounter.

I definitely don't deem your singing crappy. :-)

It's not the 'crappiness' that bothers me, it's people telling me I need lessons. Just that part.


It's not that I don't want people telling me how great I am, but one has to do so with some perspective in mind. It's when people say I'm great, just because they can, that I get upset.
