If you're going to sing a torch song, then do it right....

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I listened to a lot of Norah Jones in Iraq (Enya too, helped me sleep), and I still love her voice. Feist is off and on, but she has some great stuff. I have a live version of "Honey Honey" that's amazing.

I tend to go for more of a smoky voice in my girl vox: Elizabeth Fraser, Skye Edwards, that girl from Portishead (Beth something) etc. Although Sarah Brightman is amazingly talented (La Luna is a favorite).

We used Norah's latest as a comparison for mixing the one I'm working on. First I'd ever listened to anything more than what you hear on the radio. I was wowed. It was like, "Crap! We have to compete with THAT?" =|

here's a hint. compression(link for the curious) is to even out the levels a little, not make the whole song louder. ;)

I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

What are the odds that 1/2 of us are on this site?

Okay, I confess to having all of Enya's albums.....Great Voice !!

Allison Goldfrapp, Imogen Heap, and Beth Orton are three of my favorite female singers of all time. =)

And whoever this is, she has some serious pipes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJmt3Npbou0 :O
