Members Mark L Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 I recorded this a while ago. I'm happy with the backing track, but I've never been happy with my 'radio voice' vocal. I don't tend to return to songs once I've recorded them, so I was wondering if any of you fine fellows (or ladies) would like to have a crack at adding your vocal(s) to the backing track. Might end up being the definitive version! Your fee? My eternal gratitude Here's my version: https://soundcloud.com/songwriter101/everybody And here's the instrumental take: https://soundcloud.com/songwriter101...y-instrumental Both are downloadable Just in case you can't make out my limey twang, here are the words: Everybody lives a certain time. Everybody tows a certain line Don't come near me. Don't talk to me. Everybody needs a certain sign Oh, come as you think you are Oh, go as you know you are Everybody looks a certain way. Everybody dying every day Don't look at me. Don't point at me. Everybody crazy anyway Everybody needs a certain high. Everybody lives a foolish lie Don't surround me. Please astound me. Everybody living just to die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Nice tune Mark! I'm not sure I'd be able to do the vocals justice or do any better on them than you did... the range is going to be an issue for some people too - it's pretty high.

Members Anderton Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 Well since you sang on Neo-, the least I can do is return the favor Not sure I can hit the high notes, but hey, that's why God invented Melodyne...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was bit high for me, too. My falsetto was cracking under the strain. Maybe I should have stuck with realetto realetto.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philboking Posted June 7, 2017 Members Share Posted June 7, 2017 I like it. It has a certain vibe that calls to mind a Alan Parsons kind of feeling. I might give this a shot if I can squeeze out some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gismo recording Posted June 9, 2017 Members Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'd like to suggest two vocalists, a male for the low parts. You sound fine on those. Then a female to sing the high parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nice keetee Posted June 12, 2017 Members Share Posted June 12, 2017 I like the tune, are you looking to replace your vocal, or harmonies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mark L Posted June 12, 2017 Author Members Share Posted June 12, 2017 I like the tune, are you looking to replace your vocal, or harmonies? Thanks! The vocal needs replacing. But if anyone wants to add harmonies, that's fine by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nice keetee Posted June 12, 2017 Members Share Posted June 12, 2017 Not so organic, but have you ever considered a TC Helicon type effect for vocals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a TC Helicon unit, actually. But I hardly used it, so I gave it to someone who sang in a band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
