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.

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.
