Inspired by the "Whatcha sound like" thread ...

I'm sure some of you out there have a bit of musical talent. So let's hear it!

I sat down in the studio and recorded an old hymn just for jollies and will gladly share it with the group. I don't normally do hymns, so be kind. Vocals and guitar work is all me.

It's 8 megs, so prepare for the download time. *coff* If you're on dial-up, well, pretend it's awesome and then go get in the 21st century.

Whoa, that *is* awesome! You're still blasting out of the speakers right now, as a matter of fact. Makes typing just so much more fun. :p


As for me, I can't sing for shit.

You really don't want to know how I sing :)

hahahaha you don't want to hear me sing...

(:eek: they rearranged the smilies again!)

Oooooohhhh I am so going to load a video of ole drunken me singing to the white stripes when I get home!

Awesomeness!

Well my Dial up is slower than your dial up so there.
nah nah ne nah nah.

Trust you to notice.:p
hey, i missed the fluffle! :D (they got rid of :D and kept the :upyours: this time round... still not right!! :headbang: )


edit: i think that's the first time i've ever used that upyours smilie... ooh...

Dang! Keep this thread active for 5-6 more hours so I can get home and listen/record. This is fun!

I sing terribly. Really bad. Not good at all. The only recordings I've made were so that they had something to torture Guantanamo Bay inmates with. They were destroyed after even Dick Cheney thought that was just too cruel.

I'm tempted to, but i'm likely to wake people up and/or shock them to death with the sheer awfulness of it all.

Alright, here are some of what I consider to be my more second rate songs...I'll bring the other CD in later on. I'm covering Violeta Parra mostly in these songs...Maldición de Malinche is from the Amparo Ochoa version.

La Pericona Se Ha Muerto (http://media.putfile.com/La-Pericona-Se-Ha-Muerto)

Téneme en tu Corazón (http://media.putfile.com/Teneme-en-tu-Corazon)

Corazón Maldito (http://media.putfile.com/Corazon-Maldito)

Maldición de Malinche (http://media.putfile.com/Maldicion-de-Malinche)

Keruvalia- that was awesome that's like one of my favorite hymns and I get all pissy when someone screws it up, and you didn't, so :D, I like your version, it's mellow.





Since I still have Cinderella in my head... I will record me singing a song from that.

I woke up this morning with allergies and stuff, so I can't breathe properly, plus I probably don't sing all too well anymore since I don't practice daily, I had been practicing weekly but had to give that up for other obligations and so haven't really sang at all in like a month (not counting singing along to the radio in the car, which isn't technically singing in the sense that it's way offkey)

does anyone remember where people where going to record this stuff? My windows Sound Recorder will only record 60 seconds, which isn't long enough. (or does anyone know how to remedy that?)

use your imagination. I sing like Jim Morrison if he wasnt on anything.

"C'mon now and touch me babe,
cant you see that I am not afraid...."

NICE! Wanna duet? :)

The best thing anyone ever said about my singing was my brother's comment that "at least you have soul..."

The worst was simply "Give me the mike." at karaoke. (And that was a normally very polite Japanese woman.)

However my renditions of various Sex Pistols and Ramones songs has a special value all of it's own. (And may FSM have mercy on all your souls by preventing me from ever finding a place that has the Dead Kennedys on the menu... :))

Bah! The download froze at 96%! Damn you, cruel fate!

Oh, wait, It came on while I was typing that. See kids, petulantly complaining does work.

Oh, and it's pretty awesome. Good work.

Keruvalia- that was awesome that's like one of my favorite hymns and I get all pissy when someone screws it up, and you didn't, so :D, I like your version, it's mellow.

Merci! I liked doing that one. It has a feel to it that I enjoy. I didn't actually intend it to sound like I was that tired, but it seems to work with that song somehow.

Here's me doing an old Dylan tune that I like.

I can't sing anymore. Sadly, when I was young and spermless, I sang in a choir. And I was damn good 2nd treble, too; we toured The US and Canada for a bit, did some stuff in France, Germany, Ireland...

Then my balls dropped. Now I can only manage about an octave range running from usually from an E two below middle C (although at the moment I just tested a quite C two below and it sounded fine, and I'm even lower in the mornings) to around an octave above that. Although, again, my voice varies so much that sometimes I can just about take it to middle C without cracking. Then there's the falsetto business, but I don't like that.

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention. My singing voice disappeared along with my lack of body hair.

Wow. I'm just... in awe. Do you sing professionally? You mentioned a CD?

Wow.
Na, I'm a rank amateur...I recorded two CDs as Christmas presents to my parents. I'll bring the other CD (I'm censoring songs from you in which I make pronunciation errors, or I just don't like) in order to share some more with you all....feel free to pass it on, burn CDs, do what you wish with this music.

And...thanks:)

NICE! Wanna duet? :)
There are oh so many things I want to do with music...finding the time is the problem:(

Told you you should have gone Castrati.
Heh. Yeah, but I like my balls. And the fact that I'm not fat. Or annoying. Or a freak (well, maybe the last one in a different way)...

There are oh so many things I want to do with music...finding the time is the problem:(

Well if you'd like, some friends of mine and I are getting together to do a Johnny Cash tribute album (working title: Everyman's Cash) and we're trying to make sure everyone doing the album are industry outsiders.

You got a great voice. Would love to record it next to mine. Don't even need to be in the studio together. I can email you raw tracks and you can record your bits on your own equipment. :)

The simple fact that I'm posting this serves to illustrate how much I like all of you! I would NOT do this for anyone else! :p

since you were so brave, I suppose I should be too, I couldn't find accompniment for myself, and I am not brave enough to pull out my acoustic, so you are going to get me accapella, but, only if I can get any of it to upload....

I am going to try again soon.

See! That's one reason I love this Fourm so much. True, people raise holy hell with each other over the fine points of political discourse, but then turn right around and display totally awesome kindness to an old man whose voice most closely resembles a dying cow in a windstorm! I love it! :D

funny you should say that, since I have heard a dying cow in an F3 tornado and it sounded nothing like your singing. :cool: (true story, although he was somewhat muffled since I was in a storm shelter)

Singing is definitely in my family line :eek:

I sing like a pig that gets slaughtered.

But I'm punk so that's ok

what's the good of highspeed internet if it's going to take me 25 minutes to upload a 2 minute song?!

I'm frustrated.

Well, you sound like a professional, that's for sure. And I'd actually *love* to save the songs - I just don't know how to save something from putfile :(. Anybody know how that works?Right click on the playing thingy in Putfile, pick Eigenschaften/Properties, copy the address, paste the address in your browser and click enter. You should get a download running. (It worked for me, so if you don't manage, I can still come by sometime and just bring them to you :p)

what's the good of highspeed internet if it's going to take me 25 minutes to upload a 2 minute song?!

I'm frustrated.Make sure you save it as an MP3 so it's not a massive .wav file. That would take forever to upload.

On the tabs, it says "Media" and in the scroll box find the file that is a wav or mp3. Save it and you're done. :)

so there it is, don't know if anyone really wants to spend the time to download it though. :mad:

Go stand in front of a 200 strong audience and start doing something totally unexpected and random, like jumping into a cold, muddy pond in full uniform or rolling around in wet grass. THAT'S embarassing (and fun too :D)

I'm sorry that that hasn't gotten better yet :(
it's slowly getting better, last night hubby did really well at rehearsal, and tonight is opening night, I am sure that when we get through the first show without fatality or major injury the hives will go away. ( I hope) If not, we only have 3 shows this time so I should be doing better by Monday.

so there it is, don't know if anyone really wants to spend the time to download it though. :mad:

Groovy! I'll convert it to MP3 for ya.

I sound a little bit like an asthmatic bear that has just dropped a large heavy block on its paw while elderly coal miners look on guffawing in the background... and not in a good way, either. :p

Kern, quite nice.

Sin, I've been stalking around for these songs again. I lost my old copies

Eut, it wasn't as bad as you said it would be

smunkee, very nice

and I wont be submitting...sorry all

http://media.putfile.com/closerwalk It didn't take any time at all, started playing right away (with the usual pufile hiccups during the first run, but the second time was perfect). I love it. :) You have a really strong voice. Man, I really wish I could sing. This thread is depressing. But also great. Depressing but great. :)

Oh, and Laerod & Shotagon, thanks for the downloading tips, I'll try that!

(you ever have one of those days?)You were probably looking for the LAME encoder. Here it is (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?lame_enc). :)

*bows*
My pleasure ;)
Yeah right. You probably gave me the wrong directions so that I'll fail miserably, just so you can come by, all knight in shining armour, and magnanimously drop the MP3 files into my lap. :p j/k

I have to talk to Smunkee about it?! :( I don't even like her, she is mean.
See? That's why I said I'll stay out of it.

*takes a biiiiiig step backwards and watches* :p

yipee!!!

okay, now that my computer will do what I want it to.........any requests?

I'm in a singin mood. :D

Inspired by the "Whatcha sound like" thread ...

I'm sure some of you out there have a bit of musical talent. So let's hear it!

I sat down in the studio and recorded an old hymn just for jollies and will gladly share it with the group. I don't normally do hymns, so be kind. Vocals and guitar work is all me.

It's 8 megs, so prepare for the download time. *coff* If you're on dial-up, well, pretend it's awesome and then go get in the 21st century.

Hosted by rapidshare...some people can't access it...sorry:(

Please keep in mind that some of these recording are from 2000, and all are first-run-as-is recordings. So when I go a bit out of key...or make mistakes that non-Spanish speakers won't notice but nonetheless haunt me...FORGIVE ME!!! My voice is particularly timid and soft (and both too high or too low compared to how I now sing...what the hell?) in the 2000 recordings. This has reminded me that it's high time I re-recorded these songs, along with the ones I've learned since. I can honestly say my voice has gotten a lot stronger and more confident. But at some point I'll put my mp3s where my mouth is.

On top of that, I only have a very general sense of what I'm saying since I've never seen the written lyrics. Any speakers of Portuguese who can forgive my terrible pronunciation and think they can figure out the lyrics, could you please write them out for me so I can fix my errors?

You don't know La vie en rose (http://www.paroles.net/chansons/23694.htm) by none other than the iconic Edith Piaf? :eek:

Anyway, the lyrics mean:

Eyes that make me lower mine
A laughter that loses itself on his lips (lit. mouth)
Here is the unaltered portrait
Of the man to whom I belong

When he takes me in his arms,
He talks to me in a low voice,
I see life in pink (i.e. "rose coloured glasses" or whatever the English idiom is)
He tells me words of love,
Words of everyday,
And that does something to me
He has entered my heart
A piece of happiness
To which I know the cause
It is he for me,
Me for him in life
He told me that, promised it
For life.
And as soon as I see him,
I feel in me
My heart that beats.

Fass, I both shat and giggled.

I'd love to hear you sing the classic. :)

It may be closer, but due to the language barrier most Åländningar don't bother unless they are somekind of Finnophile. I think they are both 6+ hours away via ferry. Either way, its across the Baltic.

The majority also buy into the idea that the islands are demilitarised in and out of war. Anyhow, general concensus is better the Finns than the Russians, which leads to under 1/3 of Åländningar think that independence is the way to go these days.

If it wasn't for the runny nose, congestion, and headache I'd be getting trashed right now, but I can't stray too far away from my horseradish, as its spring and everyone here is finally beginning to party hardy. Its just that I don't necessarily want to get wasted to watch a music video. ;)

Oooh, never and clever rhyme.

Well, wouldn't you know it, I liked your songs so much I actually did. In fact, I'm listening to it right now. :)

Hey, you just got one step closer to musical fame in Europe! :cool:

Yay! I have to admit, that after posting 18 songs ( http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10716148&postcount=120) I thought they had been either ignored or overlooked, and I was feeling as though all that effort had been wasted.

Aww, you're actually on heavy rotation in my CD player! And I'm not even lying. :)

Actually, I did check today...not too many times:p

But whaddever...some people have, and are enjoying it, and that's all I can hope for!

Early Prodigy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqpcXX9es9w&search=prodigy) might also be a nice tip.
*shakes fist*
I splurged on buying The Prodigy: Experience (http://attrition.org/errata/www/vf1/experience.jpg) today. I thought, "Hey, that's like a 14 year-old CD, not to mention its cheaper than the food I bought for dinner." I'm wishing I hadn't, as their taste is an all too addictive audial smörgåsbord, like gooey coco balls with sprinkles on top, only laced with LSD. There must exist somesort of underlying correlation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJNi0sl5BjU&search=In%20Extremo) that transcends modern genres (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x1xIwcXWAI&search=Gotan%20Project).

The last time I tried to sing, someone tried to choke me. I'm told it was an involuntary reflex action which resulted from an instinctive urge to stop something that was dying in agony and was off-key as well.

I used to be a decent soprano in a choir, but then this puberty thing happened. Because the best musical teaching I had was as a soprano (“Vinny now is not the time”, not those Sopranos) it was hard for me to sing in a choir after that because I’d want to sing parts I no longer could. I have to force my voice a bit deeper just to keep from accidentally reaching where I can’t really get anymore. My voice is just too deep to be a soprano without an operation I have absolutely no intention on getting.

I was in the process of starting up a hard rock/metal garage band with some friends in high school, as the lead singer, but I really didn’t see much future in it and I thought it would interfere too much with school (looking back I should have gone for it). Now I mostly just sing the national anthem at hockey games and Remembrance Day ceremonies (unless I’m at home alone with the stereo on).

I never really had much interest in the whole Karaoke thing though. It has the same feel about it as masterbating in public.

You've tried that then...karaoke?
