Sing It Live: BEHIND THE SOUND [Dreams - Van Halen]

It’s never an ideal situation having a short time to prepare learning how to play a song to record for a ‪@singitliveworld‬ video, especially when it’s a song by ‪@VanHalen‬!
I show you what was involved for me in the lead up to the recording, and a sneak peek at us in the room while we have a crack at recording the song.

This is one of the best VAN HAGAR tunes in the VAN HAGAR catalog. SING IT LIVE did a stellar job covering it!

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

yes ☝️ and yes 📈🔭🐥

[@4stringz.]

Please don't stop this series. I really love these productions vlogs on the SingIt Live uploads!

[@Shaunholton]

It was a pleasure! As you always are 👊

[@Jenjenilou]

I just love that you run a senior's choir Crafty. Good lad x

[@andrewfudge2341]

I just love these Behind the Sounds. Hearing the raw drums in the room is always interesting, and the reminder that Shaun had to sing that rediculously high vocal at least five times in a row! Crazy good. As for Cam, is there nothing this man cannot do? Great to see him featured. :)

[@Shaunholton]

Thankfully I only did it well on the fifth one 😅

[@mehairbowl01]

Even the practice runs sound decent on your phone Crafty. Amazing inside look - ty!

[@theElderberryFarmer]

It is a real pleasure to watch talented musicians working together to produce a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Thanks once again, Crafty, for putting this peek behind the scenes together. Take care and God Bless.

[@chaschampion777]

Though I'm sure the pressure is immense, I actually hope that Darren continues with his strategy of giving little notice because, well, it works! As I commented on the Sing It Live channel, you make it look easy. God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏

[@craigbeamer9611]

Very watchable..whole crew. Love what you do on the guitar crafty.

[@rosspierce6614]

Crafty you always have a great time , no matter what song your playing. you just rock.

[@philnicol8072]

It's great hearing the raw live sound output in the jam room. Before the raw live output goes into the mixing process and digital processing to form the final master. The singer does actually have the high vocal range of Sammy Hagar. When hearing him sing it purely raw and live before any mixing and processing starts. Dreams is such a positive uplifting song (being in a major key helps!) Great hearing the rehearsal of it . Plus hearing the raw and true live sound. 🎶 🎵. 👍

[@ToddChaddingtonEsq]

bro even kinda look like sammy hagar great work boys keep it up

[@rikardo1070]

FABULOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joek7742]

Lack of preparation or not you're always game on. The final product of this song was outstanding!. You all did a fantastic job

[@dboy6400]

Incredible job. And a stellar tribute to Eddie.

[@randomfud]

Love these BTS and insights Crafty!

[@littlestantons]

Thanks Crafty for another insightful SIL behind the sounds/scenes video.. I am watching this the day after the release.. The turnaround on this song blows my mind in that you all came together less than 5 days ago to practice and record this and then both you and Darren have less than 72hrs to finalise your respective mixes and videos prior to uploading and release.. when of course you both have nothing else to do 😅. For some reason I always imagined that Darren had a drawer full of song recordings going back at least 3-4 weeks and he spent the intervening time fine tuning them prior to release as I am sure I have seen something on Insta a few weeks ago from Michael at a recording which I am pretty sure hasn’t yet dropped. As a fan I am constantly blown away by everyone in SIL’s professionalism and commitment to the process as well as the quality of the output. Keep up the great work.. one day you might even convince Darren to get your Seniors Choir to sing back-up vocals 😊❤

[@rikrushton6826]

Great "fly on the wall" experience Crafty thank you - Indeed Muz and Damo are so 'understated' in equal measure to how humble Cam Shaun and Dazz are - Amazing collaboration as always 🎶🎸🎤👏👌

[@devoguy100]

I really enjoy these Crafty, keep 'em coming!

[@JamesJohnson-xw9jn]

Always have to allow a bit more time when a new Singit Live video drops into my notifications and see that Crafty is in it as I know I will also get one for Behind The Sound!. Really love these and the format is brilliant with the "Official" footage combined with the "Raw" giving you a real idea of how it all comes together in the end (eventually in some cases!), so well done mate and can't wait for the next one

[@shanraw1]

Another in this great series, keep them coming please

[@MattyFitt73]

Damo's off to have a quick lay down after that! We nearly had a repeat of the great chewing-gum incident, Crafty be careful... Great video as always. Mario is losing the plot. Too much pressure to keep up that perfect body for his screaming fans! Would love to see a video about your senior choir. Keep these coming.

[@markpatterson2038]

Who’s gonna break it to Mario, it’s Hot For Teacher next week? 😂 Excellent as always guys. Thankyou.

[@carolrebers6998]

Great " behind the scenes" video and all the " ins and outs" to performing in a rock band!

[@bedicou2003]

Brilliant. Love these 'behind the scenes'. Please keep up the good work

[@johnathanwetherill456]

That solo was awesome . Great job every one nailed it . Even you Crafty

[@KevinORourke25]

I love this channel!

[@Sonny_AA]

Love the behind the scenes videos! Interesting how much the keyboards were in front of the mix compared to hearing it live here.

[@tonyfabricius863]

Hey Crafty,Another great video breakdown as usual to show us (the novices) what goes on to bring out the vid the Sing It Live band does,With yr headphones or what ever the things that are in yr ears,does that allow you to hear just what yr playing ? Keep the vids coming,love yr work

[@jimearl1499]

I watched the video the day it came out, it sounded fantastic! Watching your Behind the Sound video generates some questions: Listening to Shaun's vocals via your "behind the scenes" camera, he sounds flat on most of the high notes, yet on the final production, he sounds perfect. Why is that? Do you guys do a lot of post-production? If so, I'd love to see some behind-the-scenes camera on that as well. Keep it up! Love your videos!

[@karltaylorguitar]

❤

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

🚬😎 frickn cool man

[@anthonywhitney634]

Good on Mario, as a drummer I appreciate how rock solid he is. Crafty, your video illustrated how heavily engineered the drum sound is. Is that usual?

[@MisterGames]

Thx Crafty. Question of curiosity... Just before you come in with your part, do you hold your breath?

[@chisel83]

Cam’s my bro crush

[@manley1979]

Will there be a behind the scenes upload for the “why can’t this be love” VH vid?

[@jeremydene24]

Crafty, are you guys always running a "click" in your IE Monitors?

[@ecostatic5739]

That was both informative and an introduction to the people involved; thank you! If you don't mind a suggestion, please jump about and wave your guitar around less... draws attention away from the lead performers, Cam and Shawn in this case😁
