Hello Friends and Singers,
I wish you a healthy, happy(ier,) & musically productive 2022!Â
1. to give comfort to those who had lost someone this year. (A close friend of mine died last week - thus, the song.)Â
2. To find ways to sustain the mood when singing in a simple style, with a short, but well-known song.
Â
Quite a few people watched the song on Vimeo (and Facebook). But in looking at the stats, I could see that many viewers only stayed for just over half of the 2:18 song. (I've transferred the song to Youtube now.)
Â
What to change?
- I saved the "special" moment for the last phrase. But I think in future, I would sing with a few more ornaments in the second verse to keep the energy building. And maybe, I would change the background as well to heighten the feeling.
Â
- My second emphasis was on keeping a lot of energy in my eyes, since I am so close to the camera. I'd be very interested to know your thoughts. Perhaps you would do something very different? So, here it is.Â
