After a long school, band, and sickness-induced hiatus, I finally recorded some vocals today. By my count 5 songs worth. Just doing 'Crimes' tired my voice out; the new key is much higher than we used to play it. We did a short set at Gerts (the campus bar) last night in our first biweekly spot hosting an open mic, and we played almost all old songs. Have to try and fold in the new ones eventually, I guess.
I've been going through the lyrics in preparation for singing them, changing little things. I'm surprised at my complacency (or maybe laziness) though, as the majority of the lyrics still stand as I originally wrote them. Not only that, I've discovered that some of my songs read better as someone else singing them to me, which is odd.
Just so I don't forget this, I think, for our live performances, we should Barfly different than from the recorded version. I feel that the song is lacking without a return to the original "dah-dah--dah-dah-dah" rhythm.
