Songs From The Spiral #3

          Sorry for the delay on the audio this week. It simply was not ready on Tuesday, but I think I can bring it out now. :-)

          This week's offering is different than the previous two (#1 & #2) as this one is NOT an a capella. This is actually my first attempt at a) figuring out a rhythm part, and b) working with multi-track recording and mic volume controls. This is a whole new ballpark for me that I never would have thought myself to be in even one year ago. I never even thought to use the mic on my huge monitor for the purposes of recording my singing until something came over me to try back around the 14th or 15th of November this year (2011)! I've been seeing more potential in these far from ideal means, and I am going to do my best to strive toward that. It is necessary for me to do this for not only my future but for my soul, and it is said that necessity is the mother of invention. Let's believe that, shall we?

Songs From The Spiral #2

And here it is...


The second installment of the weekly feature, Songs From The Spiral...

          This week's a capella offering is of one of my most favorite Christmas songs ever. Now, before you start groaning, hear me out. It's not of a hymn or a carol, and it's not a novelty song, either (although I am considering posting one tomorrow -- Can't a girl have a little fun now and then? Sheesh! *grin*). But it is a truly lovely song that's a classic in my eyes, and maybe, deep down, you love it, too.

          Christmas song or not, the melody and the music alone are beautiful and I hope that I do it justice. I'm unsure that I can really compare to the original singer, though, so I did it my own way. :-) This song is one of the very few Christmas songs that I feel confident 'releasing' in this manner and I really wanted to do it as I love it so. I hope you like the result! Please click the following link to listen.

Songs From The Spiral #1

*takes a deep breath*

          Okay... Here it is. The first audio of me singing songs in a capella.

          In the past (2009, I believe), I had posted a few YouTube videos of my vocals, but, although I was proud of them at the time, I find that they really are horribly oversung and definietly do not reflect my best. I am better than that. (Yes, they are still up, for better or for worse. I'm not visable in them, by the way...) I have hesitated to post anything else since. Well... That has changed.

          I don't know what posting these audios will bring, but I can only expect the best. At the very least, my voice will be heard by someone. I have a gift and I ought to share it, right?

          The song you are about to hear is one of my most favorite songs to sing. Ever. There is only one other person that has ever heard me sing it (until now, tht is), and I think I can do better than what they heard. And I believe this audio is. :-) Click the below link to hear it...
