I now have my first “cover” song in the music section! It’s an arrangement by GP which I believe he based on Guy Sebastian’s interpretation of the song.
I was literally suckered into recording this – as I don’t know why he actually needed it recorded. But since it was a “genre” that I’ve never really tried recording, it’s all good.
At first he sent the piece and the MIDI of the voices… which I thought I was just going to use as a basis for the main vocal line. Once I was done with that, I sent it to him and the next message I got was:
“Ok, now for the rest of the voices.”
Sneaky little bastard hahahaha!
The original recording had 4 measures more at the intro – which I cut out since it tended to take too long before the verse started.
Another trivia for this is that since I’m a tenor, I can only go so low – so I needed some help on the really low notes. Notes such as those found in the time markers 0:11, 0:34, 0:57, etc. were sung with an aid of a synth (or sometimes a synth only).
No need to post lyrics for this since it’s a pretty well-known song (you can always google it)
