Its one thing to have the voice, Its another thing entirely to be able to create that out of a few chords. His voice is 1/4 of his talent. But yes I love it also ^^
@russell77906 жыл бұрын
He used falsetto. You can totally do it too. Ever pretend to talk in a high pitched girly voice? That’s falsetto. Now just match his notes and sing along when he does it too

Dyed in the wool you've been cornered by a natural desire You want to hop along with this giddy throng through life But how will you learn to steer If you're grinding all your gears? You've been talking for hours You say "time will wash every tower to the sea" And now you've got this worry in your heart. Well, I guess it's only life It's only natural We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole The things they taught you They're lining up to haunt you They've got your back against the wall. I call you on the telephone Won't you pick up the receiver? I've been down the very road you're walking now It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome It takes a while but we can figure this thing out And turn it back around You used to be such a lion Before you got into all this crying on my lap Back when you thought I'd never get this far. But did you really think I'd shut an open door? The future's calling and I'm going to answer The wheels in motion I never drank your potion And I know it breaks your heart. Open up your parachute Something's got to stop the free-fall. I've been down the very road you're walking on It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome Takes a while but we can figure this thing out and turn it back around.

I hope James Mercer enjoys this recording as much as I do, at the least. It is fun watching singers focusing on their words and then actually killing it. Life is short. I am simple. I hope you all make it through to the end. We all do, but the longer it takes, the better 😉 And turn it back arououound
