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...)
