One day I hope to be as happy as Sandra Oh is here.

@faithmouse 11 жыл бұрын

Happy to see that he was able to reconcile himself to a song which he detested for so long, probably because he hated himself for trying to write a hit, and he did.

@godgunsandgoldens 2 ай бұрын

He hated the way they recorded the song hastily as a last track on an Album. He loves it in a slowed down acoustic version.

I really like how he dropped his voice an octave since he started. In the early 80s he was trying to sing too high. I like this version a lot better. He's gone from a guy I couldn't stand to one of my favorite acts live. He's awesome.

@jamespuleo3269 4 жыл бұрын

Hi, Mark~~ So, here's the thing.... When he sings the verses, choruses and bridges, he is *not* an octave lower than in the original studio version. He is singing in the same range as before. What he did drop, (not an octave but) completely, was that octave-*higher* opening "oooh" vocal, where he imitated a soul/R&B singer's mode, and it came off a bit forced.... It's just normal, natural and expected that vocal chords relax, loosen and gain a sonority with age that they didn't have when you're early-20's and are "tense, nervous, and can't relax."
