There are a couple of reasons why I chose to do this cover:<\/p>\n<p>First, the usual <em>&#8220;it&#8217;s been a while&#8221;<\/em> reason: after a whole year of using my computer solely with OSX <em>(all work, no play &#8211; makes Jack a dull boy),<\/em> I decided to install Windows XP again and try recording. If you would look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nargalzius.com\/blog\/archives\/2008\/05\/27\/hallelujah\">song before this,<\/a> it was done in May 27 2008&#8230; it&#8217;s now May 26 2009 as of this posting&#8230; how time flies!<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, I usually sing this during DWTL lullaby nights when I was still active (EONs ago). I guess dayzers who are familiar with me sort of identify me with this song.<\/p>\n<p>Last and MOST IMPORTANTLY; I was invited to record for a DWTL fund-raising CD a couple of weeks ago, and this was one of the songs I was requested to do. However, to be perfectly honest, given the time constraints of my sessions and of course my &#8220;confidence&#8221; problem when it comes recording, I couldn&#8217;t say I did the song justice. <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_959_1('footnote_plugin_reference_959_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_959_1('footnote_plugin_reference_959_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_959_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">1 <\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_959_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">And the others songs I was involved with for that matter hahaha, but this song has a special place in my heart so it&#8217;s a bigger deal for me.<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_959_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_959_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>This rendition is still far from being perfect, <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_959_1('footnote_plugin_reference_959_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_959_1('footnote_plugin_reference_959_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_959_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">2 <\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_959_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Since I was too lazy to spend too much time with the song; In fact it took much less time to record this than that other &#8220;failed&#8221; one &#8211; <em>iba talaga pag hindi napepressure\/kinakabahan<\/em><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_959_1_2').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_959_1_2', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });<\/script> but it&#8217;s something I don&#8217;t mind people listening to. In fact, I think I was too bothered with that last one I did &#8211; that I felt compelled to do this just so I would feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Only tech note here is that I was mixing\/mastering &#8220;blindly&#8221; (or should it be &#8220;deafly&#8221;?). My mixer was acting up (probably from it being off for more than a year), and the tone on the headphone out (which is what I use to monitor) was considerably &#8220;colored.&#8221; So I ended up mastering with my regular (extremely colored) speakers instead of my reference earphones.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, I guess I recorded this almost the same way as I did with Hallelujah; one pass rhythm guitar panned left and right, then another for a fill guitar. Then I did a vocal pass&#8230; and another one for backup vocals.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, I notice that the guitar is out of tune at the end, but I was too lazy to fix it hahahahaha.<\/p><div class=\"speaker-mute footnotes_reference_container\"> <div class=\"footnote_container_prepare\"><p><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_label pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_959_1();\">Notes<\/span><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button\" style=\"display: none;\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_959_1();\">[<a id=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_959_1\">+<\/a>]<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div id=\"footnote_references_container_959_1\" style=\"\"><table class=\"footnotes_table footnote-reference-container\"><caption class=\"accessibility\">Notes<\/caption> <tbody> \r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_959_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_959_1_1');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_959_1_1\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8673;<\/span>1<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\">And the others songs I was involved with for that matter hahaha, but this song has a special place in my heart so it&#8217;s a bigger deal for me.<\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_959_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_959_1_2');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_959_1_2\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8673;<\/span>2<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\">Since I was too lazy to spend too much time with the song; In fact it took much less time to record this than that other &#8220;failed&#8221; one &#8211; <em>iba talaga pag hindi napepressure\/kinakabahan<\/em><\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function footnote_expand_reference_container_959_1() { jQuery('#footnote_references_container_959_1').show(); jQuery('#footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_959_1').text('\u2212'); } function footnote_collapse_reference_container_959_1() { jQuery('#footnote_references_container_959_1').hide(); jQuery('#footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_959_1').text('+'); } function footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_959_1() { if (jQuery('#footnote_references_container_959_1').is(':hidden')) { footnote_expand_reference_container_959_1(); } else { footnote_collapse_reference_container_959_1(); } } function footnote_moveToReference_959_1(p_str_TargetID) { footnote_expand_reference_container_959_1(); var l_obj_Target = jQuery('#' + p_str_TargetID); if (l_obj_Target.length) { jQuery( 'html, body' ).delay( 0 ); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: l_obj_Target.offset().top - window.innerHeight * 0.2 }, 380); } } function footnote_moveToAnchor_959_1(p_str_TargetID) { footnote_expand_reference_container_959_1(); var l_obj_Target = jQuery('#' + p_str_TargetID); if (l_obj_Target.length) { jQuery( 'html, body' ).delay( 0 ); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: l_obj_Target.offset().top - window.innerHeight * 0.2 }, 380); } }<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New song.
