Ebb Tide

[@williamhu9567]

I saw Tim Waurick sing this too and you guys are both amazing

[@mintsonata3003]

My brain read the title as “E double flat” since I forgot ebb is a real word. But coincidentally, the key signature is D (Ebb) major

[@j.acksons]

I didnt even realize that, thanks bro!

[@alexanderbaskin1111]

Well, the sheet music anyway… 😂

[@GpD79]

1:22 "I can tell, I can feel, _you_ _are_ *_love,_* _you_ _are_ *_real..."_* Whoa, that line gripped my heart. It felt so authentic, so real, like an outburst of realization of his love... raw emotion. I've never heard this song before, but you present it exquisitely. Great job!

[@magnuschristopher3979]

i have never genuinely cried while listening to a piece. this brought me to tears while singing along with the bass part. truly an amazing performance.

[@obinnanwakwue5735]

I just love how the song is called Ebb Tide and it's in D major

[@Yardslave]

Freddies original arrangement was in C.

[@Blueturtle1]

@@Yardslaveyeah surprisingly not everyone can hit a low c

[@teamundgro2986]

well Ebb is a D because its a double flat

[@michaellampson7085]

idk why everyone seems like they suddenly have a degree in music and have the grounds to offer criticism, even as a voice major myself that was a stellar tune. Great work homie edit: I was here very early and saw weird backhanded comments but i don't anymore. Apologies! but great cover

[@Ace-in8qr]

That's such a weird statement, why do you now need a degree in something to criticize music? Out of all the things you could say that for, music is about as low on the argument to authority list as you can get, and this is coming from a guy who majors in music. We don't really have legs to stand on with that kind of hilarious elitism, our degrees don't even do anything for us in our own industry lmao

[@michaellampson7085]

@@Ace-in8qr you don't need a degree. but if i didn't play piano and someone posted a video of them playing piano, i probably wouldn't tell them how to play piano. not trying to be elitist, just logical. but it seems like since i posted this a lot of the weirdly critical comments have been filtered out by support

[@Ace-in8qr]

@@michaellampson7085 I was wondering about that, I scrolled through and couldn't find anything other than "too many effects". I see a lot of stuff like I posted so I assumed. My apologies.

[@qualekk]

I mean, I got a bachelor's and a master's in music. I think it sounds absolutely lovely. However, you don't need a degree to criticize. If you don't know how to cook spaghetti, you can still say whether or not it tastes good.

[@Total.DestroyerrYT]

It’s funny how two different people can sing the same song and make them both sound the same

[@loweffortproductions1985]

KZbin legit said to me tonight: "Yo fam you need to be serenaded before bed." This arrangement works great as a lullaby, but I can also imagine this in a Square Enix game

[@dylaneatsbeans1786]

i was able to time both your and tim waurick's versions to play a the same time and it was beautiful such a beautiful version you've done aswell

[@baxterferguson2532]

mate, i did the same thing just now, tbh i feel this guy got tim wauricks audio, tuned it up slightly and then filmed himself not singing it.i say this because its far to similar for a seperate singer, also the faces he pulled while singing was odd. i mean credit to him if its real but im not bying it, ya know what i mean

[@GpD79]

​@@baxterferguson2532 ​ Were you looking for the differences? Some of them show that this rendition is distinct from Tim Waurick's. At 2:28, he begins the final "love" phrase, and while the top voice sustains the word "love", at 2:34, the lower three voices clearly take a breath and restate the words "your love" again, to deliver the penultimate and ultimate chords of the piece. Meanwhile, in the version by @TimWaurickMusic, he only sings the word "love" once, and does not restate it. It's one continuous word. This clearly makes the version by​ @shawnboomermusic definitively distinct from @TimWaurickMusic.

[@GpD79]

@dylaneatsbeans1786 That was a brilliant idea! I thoroughly enjoyed that experience. THANK YOU!

[@SoraiaCardoso-t5g]

Beautiful!

[@pinklacelady]

Wow! that was fun.

[@Tathbubs]

Got bored and played this version at the same time as Tim Waurick's. Very nice.

[@jnadal]

Great rendition of the piece; I love the harmonies of this song, and you're nailing them! The one thing I just don't understand about this song/arrangement is the dissonance on "peace" in the phrase "I'm at peace in the web of your love". The chord at that point suggests anything BUT peace, as the Bari and Bass notes are in conflict.

[@xmomocha]

so beautiful!! happy to be your 500th sub :)

Can there be tides with no moon?

Great transposition! One note though, the voices sound like they’re a semitone lower than transcribed (i.e., in D flat major)

I looked into this and yep! First note is an A flat, mayyyybe a few cents sharp.

[@OW0974]

How do you sync the pauses and rubato across the four recordings?

[@shawnboomermusic]

I normally have a click track or myself playing an instrument of the part in my ear to help me out. It takes awhile due to recording the song twice, but I’m still learning with everything song.

[@OW0974]

@@shawnboomermusic I see, good luck in your future recordings

[@damienhall5678]

So much better than OK.

[@mymo_in_Bb]

Absolutely stunningly beautiful! One question - how do you manage to stay so perfectly on time with your multitracking, through all those tempo changes and fermatas? Whenever I'm multitracking, I need to stick to a metronome, which clearly wouldn't work here, and yet all of your entrances and note changes are perfectly synchronised between the voices!

[@oldguydoesstuff120]

I have tried starting with a video "conductor" track to try to keep the parts together. That has helped, but I suspect you need to get a firm sense of how you want the rubato to work, and then be able to stick to that - much like you would need if performing live with a group. (A good audio engineer doesn't hurt, either.)

[@mymo_in_Bb]

@@oldguydoesstuff120 I've been pondering that! I wasn't able to figure out for myself whether that would actually work. One potential issue I imagine there might be is that the conductor isn't able to react to the musicians? I'm used to playing mainly with groups without a conductor, where the musicians instead react to one another, which is obviously not possible when multitracking, and without visual cues. I'll try the conductor trick, thanks!
