  3. I feel like recording something... That means I have a decision to make on what song to play/sing.
  4. It sounds good. Warren's actually written some fantastic songs, even though a lot of people say her stuff is way too cheesy. Sure it is, but it's nice.

    She writes a lot for Meat Loaf since the Neighbourhood album - Not A Dry Eye In The House, Cry Over Me, If This Is The Last Kiss for example. Also she's written a couple of songs for Aerosmith and I think also one called How Do I Live, a great pop tune.

    I'm a much bigger fan of Jim Steinman though. He's incredible - Diane Warren tries to match him but she, like many other writers, just can't. Who else could write a song called In The Land Of The Pigs The Butcher Is King and have people thinking it's really about pigs and butchers.

    The singer in that video, Russell Watson, is amazing. I'd say look him up. He's a self trained singer/tenor, sings a lot of opera. He's made me discover opera, I usually have problems with the real tenors, the sound "too opera" for me. But Russel is amazing. I've ordered this double DVD with him, should arrive this week. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Russell-Watson-2002-Voice-Live/dp/B000IOF684/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1307551447&sr=8-7
  6. Ah yeah, I have seen some of his stuff before. Actually, one of my favourite songs and I'd like to record it one day, properly, is something from 1972 called More Than You Deserve. Any of the songs from around that time I'd like to try and do - because they're big operatic-style songs, and long too.
  7. I think I'll just record whatever song comes out of my mouth...

  8. La la la la la. Just scatting I do now, when I can't think of a better line I just sing da da la la da. It works for me and I can go back to it later.

    My favourite example of just not having any idea of lyrics is a song from I think 1997 or 1998 called Beautiful Girl, here.
  9. Can't Help Falling In Love came out of my mouth this time.
  10. I thought the UB40 version of Can't Help Falling In Love was always pretty nice.

    Deleting a bit of old crap off my iPod that I don't really listen to.
  11. I really failed on this one... Especially in the end where I took the song a little bit to high. If you want to hear I'll put it up anyway?

    Compressing it to 192kbit/s also took away a lot of my darker tone.

    Yeah pop it up but I may not get to hear it tonight as I'm heading to bed soon. But I'll definitely download it when you put it up.
