Glad you enjoyed it. You're very welcome. I was amazed at how well they knew the music and what great performers they are.

Wow! Marina9. That's so powerful and beautiful it kind of gave me goosebumps. I am becoming more and more a fan of Pink Floyd. I kind of missed many groups as I went through various stages in my life. This is a great place to find amazing music.

Had to hear the lyrics so I just picked one. I think the piano piece might be even better in a way.

Thanks. :thup:
 
feels like a song to your real self ... ;) in this gloomy time we live in some how the birth of new ear can be felt in the air ... feels for me like lightens of the soul that is not scared to lost this material world based on predatory selfish paradigm, but contrary ... even with this overall sadness, it is getting ready for a change ... :cool2:

"Time marches on never ending,
time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
and then goes passing us by,
And I, I, I can dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
and you, you , you who make worlds collide
I knew you'd come knocking one day,
unannounced like a thief in the night.

Where do we go from here,
time ain't nothing but time,
I now have no fear of my fears
And no more tears to cry,
tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
If we don't hear the line,
when today places its call, and morning, morning, morning
Won't ever be the same,
now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again (5x)

Chorus
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end up at you,
and now I know paradise.

Billie Marten - You Make My Dreams (Hall & Oates Cover) |

Thanks Baz, this was pleasant simple acoustic arrangement of a popular 80's pop song. Not trying to be overly critical, but the singer, who otherwise appears to be a competent singer, has decided to use this strange vocal affectation that seems so prevalent with modern female singers these days, and frankly, it drives me up the wall! I'm not sure there is a name for it, but it consists of a combination of a breathy whisper and the weird twisting of normal vowels into an "OY" sound.

When I listen to her sing the first line - "What I WANT you've GOT, it might be HARD to handle" - becomes "What I WOINT you've GOIT, it might be HOID to handle". Maybe this style was unique and original the first time it was done, but now it seems to be everywhere and strikes me a lazy and derivative. And it's a shame really, because she does have a truly beautiful voice, and could easily have forged her own style without using this contrived tonal device.

I recently downloaded an album by Jasmine Thompson, which I quite like, but is riddled with this particular singing style, and it gets old rather quickly.

I did a quick Google search, and apparently I'm not the only one who's noticed this phenomenon...

Apologies for the rant, and maybe I'm just being cranky this morning. It's just frustrating to see a talented young singer wasting her lovely voice just to be trendy.

I agree totally, and I also like Jasmine Thompson too..

thought you might like/hate this how to sing hip tutorial, it explains how they do it, such a shame, like you said that they have pander to, I assume, the record companies.

BTW Billie Marten was only 14 I believe, when she did that cover, her newer stuff is pretty cool (apart from the above mentioned hip singing) check out her Heavy Weather track :)
