THE GLOBAL WINGS THREAD
-
after searching the charts, I don't find anything I want to record... I've got three songs in mind now... Unchained Melody Whattaya Want From Me Blue Moon Of Kentucky (Paul version or Elvis version, still undecided)
-
one more... inspired in one post of Audi about Elvis doing the song live
-
this is one guy (ok, one vocal coach) explaining Paul's technique of Fake struggle in the highs. He doesn't mention McCartney but it's just the same (even when Paul talks between the songs in concerts, sometimes). very simple, just 1 minute (from 1.30 on)
-

I like this somewhat. The guitar is quite effective, but it's out of your vocal-range, bro. Why don't don't re-record it in the same key but sing it an octave lower?

I guess you mean Rags to Riches, cause you have quoted another post. Out of my vocal range? why? I don't get it. I don't believe much in "vocal ranges" anyway... I don't think I would like it then, it will happen just the same that when I did it with my song You've Got Yourself... one octave lower felt dead to me. Same old story for me, it could have been higher, it could have been lower, but in the end I just have to choose a key to do it. This time Elvis did it in E, so I thought me doing it in A would go with the feeling Elvis did it and with the differences of the way he sang and my way.

Wow...blown away "Lindiana" was covered and so well, I like that song very much -- thanks for sharing yours and Gary's lovely very pleasing version, Bjorn (Oliver, I know I still got a song of yours and Audi's to hear on another thread & I'll get to it) Uh Oh, I meant "I still have" a song of yours and audi's to hear, so sorry)
Thanks!!

Digging in the wault I found this track, and it something I think most people here hasn't heard we did this almost 5 years ago...and those links has been dead or removed..so thought I'd repost it! Very nice early Global Wings track, a version of an unreleased McCartney song! LINDIANA - Bjorn & Gary http://rapidshare.com/files/430207276/Lindiana_-_Bjorn_and_Gary_-_Global_Wings.mp3 (It is a fast download link, you don't need an account to download this song!) Enjoy!
I'm with Susy...THAT was a stellar performance, Bjorn....very moving, and so suited to your voice and style, and wow, such a beautiful tune !(never heard it before)...reminded me of when I first heard your version of PRETTY LITTLE HEAD...simply stunning!
Thanks Claudia!

I get the vocal range thing, I think you'd get a powerful version singing lower. The guitar and piano and VERY high vocal isn't quite as effect-full, when you sing a lot of falsetto, I think you get less power compared to with your full voice in a lower register, just my thoughts! This ain't gonna be an Idol competition anyhow... I think you should try and listen to some powerful singers that REALLY do low register great... This man does it REALLY low, but the voice is old and weak for being him, but the message really gets to the listener, and even more effect-fully with his low register!

Glad to see some more movement on this thread!!
I'm gonna cause it, I think.... I was checking now the US and UK single charts to search something to sing... I've seen a lot of rap tunes... I've looked at the UK charts of this week....
Should I be embarrassed to admit that "Duck Sauce" ain't too shabby? ops:
Weirdest band name ever?!?!

Bjorn I think you're just confused, I never sing falsetto. Though I know it's easy to mistake falsetto for natural voice, It has happened lots of times to me about others, sometimes I'm not even sure yet sometimes when Paul sings live. (Or others, I'm not sure of some parts of your video of Maybe I'm Amazed for instance...) I don't agree with the power thing at all... singing fuller in lower register is just unbalanced, damaging ("not contributing to your voice" a vocal teacher will say, some even say, "no-one can sing like that"). And powerless... (even medicians say it about talking, "if you want to raise your loudness without damaging your voice you must raise your pitch before") you feel a lack of freedom in your singing. When you're balanced you can do whatever you want to do, you feel free and you enjoy it. Singing in that "powerful" way is no fun, unless you really want to be Hurt. I'm not in focusing on the pain. I'm not gonna sing like Johnny Cash sings in that song, no fun and I wouldn't be able to sing the melody I wanted to sing. His feeling is great though.
I think you should try and listen to some powerful singers that REALLY do low register great...
who? my opinion... for instance Elvis here, well, virtually always
Freddie here.. or always or being more modern, Josh Groban or Thom Yorke no way Johnny Cash, from a technical point of view... (it's not I know his stuff but I don't picture him with many vocal freedom at all...) Well, one of the greatest things in music is that everybody is free to do it the way he wants it. Like Joe Cocker, Pavarotti, Johnny Cash, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder... this is not American Idol (Adam doesn't belong in AI anyway) but I prefer this to this -

Out of your range = too high for ya'. E is a good key for Elvis, but I suggest C or D for you. Now get to work. You have a man's voice -- use it apppropriately..

Hey Audi, that's the most common misperception in singing. Usually women try to sound very "femaly" and men do it very "manly", that's the common technical mistake in singing. Just go to any karaoke... Paul balances it very well. Sometimes he gets "too manly" and that's when he starts to have problems in concerts... Who's "too manly"? Paul Rodgers with Queen... When recording some Brian's rockers Freddie Mercury said to Brian May: "Brian I can't sing like Paul Rodgers", and eventually Paul Rodgers got to sing those songs...
