Thursday, September 27, 2007 @ 7:43 AM: Some random thoughts about songs
Had a bashing Wednesday and just set up a blog @ http://keepstillthere.blogspot.com. Do check out the blog for some lame postings (in the future, at least when my lame editors come in)... Haha... But anyway shall blog a little before I go back to sleep again... The weather's so cool now... how little it rains these days...
Anyway yesterday was telling cf about having control in a song... though it eventually boils down to one's steady voice... but I think in a certain sense, it's gotta to do with u having the confidence and knowing the inside-out of the song before u can express the feelings and the dynamics within a song.
Some songs that we've been singing for so long like bei feng chui guo de xia tian or shan hu hai sounds pretty unpalatable to me, with the sad fact that the more we sang, the better we sound in our solo parts or the better we can reach the higher keys but the chorus might sound pretty the same we sang it the first time. But still, we can't get the dynamics rite... Yet on the other hand, for some songs like di yi tian and xi jie, I could control the song instantly without fretting over the keys I have to sing are right or wrong even it is the first or second time I'm singing (though some areas in breathing techniques are wrong, but hey it's the first try -> forgiveable)...
In a way, knowing a song is like knowing a person. For some people whom I thought were quite close or had been close for at least quite a period of time, I dunno the dynamics of them well... Pretty much stagnation. For some, I could say we clicked instantly. And to say how many buddies or good friends whom I really know inside out, perhaps I can only count all using my fingers... but still I believe I can eventually master those parts of the songs tat I'm particularly weak at, just like how I believe that friendships can only get better...
thank you for bringing me memories...
