closer to the heart RUSH (1977)

I have autism and singing is one of my special interests. I'd rather be hunting classic postage stamps to keep but don't have the money all the time to fuel such an addiction. I'm too quick with stamps figuring out whether to keep them and then tossing the canceled ones into water or use stamp lift for the delicate ones, while those with gum get stored immediately. It's all good clean fun for the Aspie when they can stay busy with healthy albeit heavily repetitive activities. These two hobbies are not mechanical and get it done, imho.

I just did the spirit of radio and found it so difficult to not sound bad or confused for stretches. Rush is turning out too complex for me. I need melody that a voice or memory can easily handle. I do try to use different octaves, so sounds don't cancel each other. My two main skills seem to be range and staying in tune. I was in school band decades ago for trumpet and baritone horn, self taught vocals a couple years ago. I was always in tune somehow. Must be the mysterious perfect pitch. I will try that song. Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to listen to it over and over and try to make it sound good.

@@TokyoShemp dude that spirit of radio chorus is no joke it aint easy but different strings i think is pretty interesting little lower in pitch than most of his vocals kinda like entre nous

@@damagedband4819 I liked Different Strings a lot, although somehow not at first until the pattern of notes kicked in. I am a bit embarrassed by being so screechy in this one above and then spirit of radio. I thought of simply deleting this, but now there are comments here. Yes, I had to retreat from trying to mimic Geddy's voice. He's great at falsetto and original with it. To me, it feels like a kazoo. I can be in tune, but it doesn't sound good. If I retreat to baritone, then the autistic music savant idea takes shape. Or the idea that we band members were better than we thought as kids or even older people with bands, you guys were better and closer to greatness and people like Rush than you may have thought of yourselves.

it's called falsetto and fake like in the original. it's called an impersonation. low volume is always recommended. sorry for any bad sounds.
