And going away

[garran]

I sang my song Aeroplane (I'm Sorry) into a microphone, and although I never sing as well into microphones as I do just randomly (and also my microphone sucks) it came out mostly non-terrible*, so here it is on the web. This is a friends-locked post on livejournal (my first!), but (obviously) freely accessible on wifl, because I'm shy, and I feel rather more exposed in one place than the other.

(*Though I may come to reconsider this assessment if I dare to listen to it a few more times. Since the point of this sort of recording is mostly to showcase the tune, it will probably stay up anyway.)

My feeling is that this will eventually be accompanied by a soft but mildly intricate guitar. Discerning fans (that is, Rachel) may notice that I've experimented with a lyric change; I always thought that the meta-singing fit in a little awkwardly in this one.

I like the rhythm of this a lot but I can't tell whether or not I take issue with "aeroplane" being four syllables.

It is kind of just on the outward edge of reasonable, isn't it? But it's always been pretty central to my conception of the song, so clearly I think it works.

I am an ae-ro-po-lane!

I concur on the rhythm. "Ae-ro-po-lane" amuses me to no end, however. A wonderfully unique lyrical twist. Hurrah.

You even put in ID3 tags (or might they be called OG3 when they're in an .ogg? ^_^ ) this time. ^_^

Hmm. If my life was not already overly full then I'd learn to play soft but mildly intricate guitar. *>

That would be cool. (Obviously, too, if anyone else reading this is an interested musician...)

Yay; in the passing time, I'd forgotten how much I liked this one. ^_^ So awesome. When did you sing it to me before? It wasn't on the phone, was it?

I think I like the lyric change; I'd never noticed that being awkward, but now that you mention it, it does seem to work better this way. Nice job.

Oh, and I like your voice a lot, too. Actually...I can tell it's been getting better, too. That's really cool. :)

I wiiiish I knew more music theory! I think I'm going to take classes for it.

Secretly, yes.

And somehow still had not apologized to you
I never should have thought 'fore I apologized to you

Two technicality critiques:
1. In the second and third 'you's, you seem hesitant.
2. You seem, overall, hesitant. If this is a lav computer microphone you can't be much louder without overrunning it. I think you should be louder. =)

I approve of the 4 syllable rendition of Ae-ro-po-lane.

You seem, overall, hesitant.

Yeah; I sing (or speak) a lot more nervously when I am being recorded. I become very, literally, self-conscious, aware that all my noises are preserved exactly as I make them, and what if they aren't right? It's something I'm going to need to become more used to, obviously, if I ever want to do anything really interesting with these songs.

One wonders

[http://users.livejournal.com/_quinn/]

what a giant gray square might hide. I'm also thinking that it sounds like a small track from a much larger album. Possibly about Tsubasa, going to America.

[garran.livejournal.com]

...I'm really beginning to think that I need to write a weblog entry about that grey square. I keep noticing things...

And this is a song about me, or... At least inhabited by me. I'm comfortable without giving it away. (Who would Tsubasa be singing to, I wonder?)
