You asked for it... DreamBliss sings!

[DreamBliss]

You can blame this on Nungali, as a direct result of some posts they made at another thread.
 
I had this up on my YouTube channel some time ago, but took it down. As I say in the description of the video, my voice was untrained at the time of this recording.
 
Since then I received a little training from two sources, Fiona K. and Silvia Nakkach, her book, "Free Your Voice." Still not the kind of training that most of the people you see on TV or hear on the radio have. No autotune or editing here!
 
This thread will provide a sort of before and after, with this video being before:

"The Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha" will be the after, and I hope to have it recorded by the end of the week.

Nice choice of writers - Ben E King.

 

I didn't feel any soul in there though,; heart, sure.

 

Ben E wrote many really great songs that were recorded by other and he did a very good job with his own versions of many of them.

 

But yes, you did much better than I could have ever done.

Well, the cat was smiling before you started and looked like it wanted to scratch your eyes out at the end.

 

BTW, is that scar on your face from the last time you did that?

[Nungali]

No ... that was a stage accident, I got a bit carried away and ended up swallowing the microphone, staggered across the stage, and fell onto a group of those  'horn signing ' head bangers ...  

 

 

 

 

 

 

.... a nasty experience !

Then you ended up in the mosh pit... Right?

 

BTW, I would never subject a cat to the pain of my singing...

Ohhh .... nice to know a cat gets better treatment than we did !

Thats right.  Now, if any wants to hire me for their pets astral travel therapy, I charge like a New Age therapist (and any one that cant afford that - just hasnt been spiritual enough ). 

[Nungali]

In my defence ....   how come cats can get a away with it, but I cop curry for it  ! ? 

 

They are all over youtube !

I appear to be experiencing resistance to doing this. So I may not doing it after all. I know everyone here was really looking forward to my stirring rendition of, The Impossible Dream." I am sorry to have disappointed you.

 

Perhaps I will still do it someday, we shall see...

You've got more courage than me, friend. I was singing along with you by the end of Stand By Me. Good on ya!

[Nungali]

Okay ....   

 

I cant sing very good but ... I will have a fumbling attempt at playing 'Lateralus'  by Tool on my guitar;

Hi Dreambliss,

 

Your decision not to post the 'after' video was almost certainly sound.

 

But why are you doing this? What was the original reason for posting a video of you singing?

You know I can't remember right now. Blame it on Nungali...

[Nungali]

yeah right .....    again with that . 

 

 

Even I know why you did it ;

 

To embrace your desire 

to feel the rhythm, 

to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

 

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

 

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.

red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been

 

 

(I  love singing that song  ! )
