13:56 So how...how are my consonants coming across? That is correct. Alright, and then another one I was doing here, this is less consonanting, and more just kind of accuracy. T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
14:22 bada da da da da da da da da da da da da da de da da da da da daaa
14:27 Alright, and then we have—oh, this is fun—singing long phrases smoothly.
14:37 La... La...
14:49 And I think that one is getting better there. So like...
15:10 Uh-huhh-huhh-huhh-huhh-huhh-hhuh-huhh-huhh...
15:13 Yeah, yeah All right demands yes
15:34 La, la-la, la-la-la... La, la-la-la-la-la. It's interesting. I feel like I'm slowing down when I get louder. La, la-la-la-la-la. Yeah, that's definitely a good, good one to work on.
15:52 And let me see if I can find something here. I was going to...actually, this was not originally on my list of things to work on today, but I think it'd be interesting to look at just because it's something that is not in...
16:30 Oh cowboy went out riding, one dark windy day.
16:38 Ghost Riders In the Sky — Johnny Cash
17:46 base range yeah i'm kind of trying to channel my inner Johnny Cash there i am probably missing that by a little but it's It's
18:04 It's interesting how you can kind of shape the sound.
18:07 beyond just the note. And I'm curious if I were like trying to hold the kind of more bassist sound if I could.
19:05 I-P-I-O, I-P-I-A, no it's, it's hard. I-P-I-A, I-P-I-A, that one, that's almost it! I-P-I-A!
19:20 Alright.
19:31 Now I can feel that. Yippee-aye-yo, yippee-aye, hey, hey. hungry in the sky
19:50 Oh...yeah. Well, a lot of the stuff that I record, what I actually do is
20:15 Do one voice in the breathy sound, and one voice in the more bassy sound, an octave down in unison. And I really love how that sounds.
20:24 Now, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this song is definitely once
20:51 He wants that! Their face is gone, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked in sweat. He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught them yet. Have you got to ride forever, on the range up in the sky. A...
21:33 so how how how is it from Anind yeah hippiei o How was it? Okay, well good stuff. And I was keeping that well held back in order to focus on the lyrics. I'd definitely go a lot further than that with the piano part.
22:53 Especially with the organ pedals when you start getting that lovely...
23:02 Yeah, so let's see what else we've got here. Yeah, I always liked the Dick Dale version of it. Um, which.
23:30 It seems like everyone in Southern California knew that cat.
23:34 you yeah i knew people at the studio he recorded at near
23:44 end of his life he kind of got into an unfortunate economic situation which and I knew people at the pond shop where he was pawning his guitars. He had...I don't know exactly, I think he got sick and hospital bills drove...
24:05 Amazing! And obviously a friend to all.
24:11 Yeah, Disneyland for a while had some of his stuff.
24:15 In the line and on the ride for Space Mountain before they replaced it with kind of a more modern sound but they had his version of ghost writers in the sky which is my first introduction to the song
24:27 was when you waited on in the line for space...
24:30 I went, Oh... And I only got to see him once, which I'm kind of sad about. He really had mastered that reverb tank surf rock sound. And... Yeah, I don't know if he had that many radio hits. In Southern California, you kn...
25:54 Oops Mercy Street Looking down on empty street
26:09 what oh i'm d flat not d sharp huh
26:14 Mercy Street — Peter Gabrial
28:03 that far? OK. Yes, let's take the boat out. Wait until darkness. All right, so let's start with the first verse, then, and see how we can do.
29:09 Looking down on empty streets all she can see
29:15 So, dude... On the drums... Let's see, whether it makes more sense...
29:23 Go up or down from there looking looking down on empty streets all she can see Are the dreams made solid or the dreams made real and that that
29:36 Well it's definitely that's below my range. Yeah I think part of it was I was a bit scattered at the beginning and I started the wrong key and then dropped.
29:54 Looking down on empty streets. All she can see, are the dreams made solid. Are the dreams made real. All of the buildings, all of the cars Were once just a dream in somebody's head. She pictures the broken glass. Picture...
30:21 bro yes you got it yes this by the way yeah the the song doesn't always completely make sense but this is Peter Gabriel off the same Name album is Sledgehammer
30:48 Mercy Street — Peter Gabrial
31:41 ... You are correct, yes. Dreaming of my...
31:52 Mercy's dream...
31:58 Sorry. Got lost in my thoughts there...
32:06 Dreaming of Mercy's dream.. Trying to figure out how to make that flow better. Dreaming of Mercy's Dream!
32:18 SONG PLAYS are dreams?
32:54 Mercy Street — Peter Gabrial
34:43 that sign. First word is swear.
34:55 Swear they moved that fine
34:58 🎶 Yeah 🎶
35:16 Swear they moved, moved Swear they moved to that side
35:23 How's that
35:44 Swear they've moved that sign
35:47 Thank you very much. l
35:52 Just where they moved that sign Dreaming of mercy In your daddy's arms Mercy, Mercy looking for mercy Mercy, Mercy looking for mercy Riding the water Riding the waves on the sea
36:35 Yeah, it's a hard one Yeah, well I'm not giving up on it but but
36:55 I will, I will take your advice under advisement. I definitely think that you're right about the murmur, you know that that thing and in general I think I also probably
37:08 I just need to sing harder on it, like, you know, put more into the vocals. Part of what's, what's difficult is that it's also in what I consider to be a moderately tricky key that's a Db minor, So, so that, but, you kno...
38:20 Us and Them — Pink Floyd
40:41 OK, and we'll stop there, cuz there's a long synthesizers all over. How's it sounding? OK. Are you out of curiosity are you familiar with the song? Us and them it's in an early Pink Floyd not you
41:22 Not super early, you know. We are in the waters period.
41:25 but not like the wall era either. So, yeah. Yeah, early 70s. And.
41:37 um do you think you're not getting the words with me not enunciating enough me not singing
41:42 Okay alright. away
41:58 Us and Them — Pink Floyd
43:28 You know, this is still first verse. I think the...
43:44 A high point of this song is after the synthesizer solo, with the down and out... It can't be helped, but there's a lot of it about.
43:52 Well, so... so when they do it in concert... the second verse was...
44:09 is where they give the weight in the Haven't You Heard It's a Battle of Words the Post-Bearer Cried and they start, you know, they get the Plinkphoid Girls behind them and they start
44:17 really punching it up the first verse it's kind of still going up the hill and then the second verse and the beginning of the third verse are kind of the top of the hill. And obviously we could do it differently but but ...
44:43 First, it has this very- sitting here, smoking my joint- very chilled out feeling, and then it starts building up to this anti-war song. But, it's kind of stylistically, this whole album has a very chilled out feeling, w...
45:02 So—but, yeah, yeah, it did not run—no definitely not. All right.
45:26 Us and Them — Pink Floyd
46:34 All right, let me try...
47:05 Always.
47:41 Alright, so let's try that again, the second verse there.
47:50 Us and Them — Pink Floyd
48:40 the the post the post bearer tried A UK phrase there I I think they're talking about who we would call the postman but I'm not certain Yeah yeah you're right You're right. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yep, that totally finn...
49:16 More sense.
49:41 Yeah. yeah yeah let me let Let me try that.
50:24 Ever to her It's a battle of words A post paragraph Listen son Said the man with the gun There's room for you inside Yeah Yeah definitely
50:47 possible. Yea, barrier crime. Yea, yea definitely. Yeah definitely.
51:18 Us and Them — Pink Floyd
52:27 and all the rest... Yes, another very British phrase. And everything aside from that is all synthesizer solos, so... So, the... yeah, that's another fun little... a bit of tricky... a lot of these ones where the words do...
53:02 It's a lot trickier when your mind is not filling in the gaps.
53:05 I would probably have time for one more. I'm just looking through here to see if there's anything. That one I think I'm going to wait until my wrist is a little better on. Slowly. I mean, this has been an ongoing thing. ...
56:45 No, no, it's a great song. The reason you will be cringing is that
56:49 I'm if
56:54 Uh, no, I'm more worried about the enunciation and, uh,
56:58 The, the, kind of tonal slaughtering of the verses, I think the chorus will be okay. But, but, anyway.
57:07 Well... They say Mother Earth is breathing with each wave that finds the shore Her soul rises in the evening for to open dry lights door Her eyes are the stars in heaven watching her Sephora on the wild And her heart it ...
57:45 So, how did we… Yeah…
58:07 Um, with each wave that finds the shore
58:11 this yeah her soul rise aaahhh
58:29 The shore, the shore With each wave that finds the shore
58:35 Is that better? yeah yeah no I Alright, alright I'll try that.
1:00:17 Mother Earth is breathing. With each wave that finds the shore, the, the... Heh, that's weird With each wave that finds the shore.
1:00:32 So
1:00:36 Ahh We're deep
1:00:41 The following is a result of the
1:00:44 They say mother Earth is breathing With each wave that finds the char Her soul
1:00:53 🎵
1:01:17 With each wave defines the shore
1:01:21 like that whose soul
1:01:24 Rises in the evening, fort open dry light storm Rises are the stars in Heaven, watching a rustle on the wild And our heart it is in Island, gap within the Emerald Isle We are 40 against a rosary Someone else's, but you a...
1:02:01 And maybe pull back in some word. Sorry God love you okay you
1:02:37 Ireland — Garth Brooks
1:03:26 Yeah, I really like how the chorus sounds, personally. Yeah. so that's probably a good place to stop for today and we'll pick this back up I don't know whether you want to just do Friday again next week um all right very...
1:04:10 Mm, let me get back to you, um, on that, and probably if I'm awake during the time that Laurel is there
1:04:17 and probably do that otherwise we'll adjust according but thanks and take care all right talk to you later bye
