Eking Out The High Notes

It’s like eeEEeeek!

The storm is one of my recent songs. It has some really high notes that are held out. It took many takes to get them right, but I managed.

The Storm
by Timothy Price

[Verse 1]
Riding on the edge of night
Rainbow storms play on left
Sun shines on the right

[Chorus]
Light bounces off gray clouds
Shadows cling to the ground
Dead trees stare at useless rain
Much too late to ease the pain

[Verse 2]
Standing against the wind
Vultures circle overhead
Wishing my demise

[Bridge]
Angels ride
On lightning bolts
The gods argue
Their thunder rolls
Primary colors
Come undone
Trying to calm
The violence
Of the sun

[Outro]
Light bounces off gray clouds
Shadows cling to the ground
Dead trees stare at useless rain
Much too late to ease the pain

The Bird Ate My Homework

Last night

Tyranosøren Wrecks eating Laurie’s homework!

Belafonte watching the Super Bowl halftime show on Apple Music.

I don’t watch football, so I did not see the game or the halftime show yesterday afternoon. However, I read various complaints about the halftime show this morning on various platforms. Most of the complaints were that people couldn’t understand the lyrics, others about how Kendrick Lamar danced, moved around, and bent down while he rapped.

When I got home, Laurie said I needed to watch and listen to the halftime show on Apple Music through her fancy Apple headphones that have dimensional sound. I can’t speak to what it was like watching the halftime show live, but watching it on Apple Music, the show was spectacular and the sound was phenomenal through Lurie’s Apple headphones. I’m not fond of rap, but that was a great show and I liked the music.

As far as Kendrick Lamar’s moving around and bending down while he raps, moving and bending help to open up the vocal folds, making the rapper’s voice more effective. I don’t know if rappers know that instinctively or have been trained by vocal coaches to bend and move while rapping, but I suspect a combination of both.
