i mean, you do get a similar effect on mics when you project your voice while that far away from the microphone. Gives the feeling of distance between you and the vocalist, similar to a choir who arent using any amplification. Smart choice on his part.

@@IcarusNadir his voice here is good, it’s just very pitchy.

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

He doesn't hit every note and doesn't go as high as the studio recording. The vocals in Lune are ridiculously hard. Long belts, upper register singing, it's all about power and control to hold those top-of-your-range notes. You can do that in a studio, but live you're either asking to be burnt out half way through or hurting your vocal chords. Almost no vocalist captures their studio recording live. At least we know he's not auto tuned! He hit some great notes here, too, I'm not trying to take away from his performance, just demonstrate live stuff is hard.

They closed with this and I made sure I found out what it was called... And then played it to literal death. I cried honestly for days and days while listening to nothing but Lune. I'm a few years down the line and still healing but so absolutely grateful this incredibly emotive song is there for anyone and everyone to experience in all its stunning glory. I couldn't fault it even if I wanted to, just stunning.
