Great lyrics Kenny

I think it needs a little higher voice to match the words though ..

Im not saying your singing isn't any good mate but its just a little deep thats all ..

I have been known to be wrong though

Thanks Trev, only way to get my voice higher is maybe go up on the roof{lol}

Yes...I know theres another way.. no thank you

OK, took out some of the fx, and let MT's tune thru more as well, any offerrings of help will be appreciated...this singing stuff is all new to me, so other than my voice what can I do to improve this? I figured since I went this far, I might as well learn from my mistakes.

Thanks for any suggestions

thats sounds alot better IMO Kenny

I don't know much about singing but I like that better

Good job Kenny. You have a nice deep resonant voice, it carries well above the music and you seem to have good control and you aren't trying to force it into a higher register.
The biggest thing about vocals is to be comfortable and to have control (probably one of the most difficult things to learn) and that comes with practice (just like the guitar).
Control at low volumes is more difficult than at high volumes, one reason some entertainers can only sing at wide open.
Keep it coming, its getting better every time.

Thanks Trev and you too knight46....

hope Modalthinking likes it enough, and I hope he doesn't feel like I was trying to steal his thread...just totally liked this tune and needed to try it.

Thanks Modalthinking, working some crazy hours lately, but I'll give the whole tune a shot this weekend....your tune has bit me and just won't let go..I'm not complaining though. Wish me luck or at least more singing skills..LOL...Who knows maybe a "real" singer will help us complete this.

Where'd you go Pamelody?...to get your mic cued up?{I hope}
Thanks for the comments

Had to have another listen with these wonderful words of yours in mind X4! Sorry I can't add a beautiful voice to help you guys out, I'm an aging ballerina, not a singer.
X4 you are good with words and this melody is sure

catchy!

Hi there,

Ive just noticed this thread.. and even though i know youve got your lyrics down.. just thought i'd have a go at the lyrics for fun having listend to the tune. Hope i dont offend anyone by posting them..

Alone in the dark

You never told me why,
You never did explain,
I thought that we were good,
I thought you felt the same,
I gave you all my heart,
You didn't do likewise,
You smashed it all apart
you spoiled our love with lies.

Alone in the dark,
Trying not to feel,
Trying not to cry,
Trying just to heal,
Living breath by breath,
Coping day by day,
Wishing that this pain,
Would slowly go away.

I'd do it all again,
Each and every thing,
Can we start again today,
and see what tomorrow brings,
Can we put aside the past,
and get back to me and you,
i could learn to get along,
do you think that you could to?

Alone in the dark,
Trying not to feel,
Trying not to cry,
Trying just to heal,
Living breath by breath,
Coping day by day,
Wishing that this pain,
Would slowly go away.

Nicely done Paul Jeffs...got any vocal skills on ya? I'm almost complete with my take on this, but I sure can't sing. You doing any recording yet with your pc?

pamelody · #29 July 14th, 2007

Hi Paul Jeffs, these are strong lyrics - there sure is some talent on this forum!

Paul Jeffs · #30 July 14th, 2007
