Spend my life with you (Instant Classic) - Barbershop Quartet

[@RalphPriessman]

As a former member of the Vocal Majority, Sonny, this is some of the "sweetest" blend I've ever heard. Great work!!

[@sgtsonny]

Awesome chorus! Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@dswaguru]

I remember singing this at a wedding. A very good piece to harmonize on. ♥️♥️♥️

[@WilliamAiken]

Wow this is amazing! The mixing on this is truly great! I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Thank god you DONT over edit the sound quality. You’ve simply mastered the mixing! You’re the only KZbinr who doesn’t edit it to sound unrealistic. Thank you my friend :)

[@sgtsonny]

I find the mixing part to be one of the hardest parts of the entire operation! So getting a compliment on that aspect, does make me really happy :D. Thanks so much for the kind words, William!

[@dorisbrandon5317]

Gorgeous!!!!!!❤ Bravo!!!!! Applause!!! Standing ovation!!!! Ok I'm done.😁

[@sgtsonny]

Haha thanks so much, Doris! :D

[@river1403]

Rhett is an awesome bass voice and you're a wonderful lead singer Sonny. *starts a wave*

[@sgtsonny]

He sure is! Thanks for the kind words! *continues the wave, but fears it's already dying*

[@houstonvanhoy2198]

The blend of the two voices is wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable. Rhett has a nice baritone voice. He is not a bass by any means. Jerome Hines is a bass: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3XXi6ekpLWLi5o

This is honestly so relaxing

[@sgtsonny]

I'm glad you feel that way about my recordings :).

[@MartAvenue]

Jason Statham & Bill Skarsgård right there!

[@timmysantana3263]

I have this song on my KZbin playlist with other barbershop songs, but when this one plays I just can't let it finish and move to the next one. I always find myself repeating this one when it comes on.

[@sgtsonny]

Hahaha I'm so glad to read you enjoy it so much! Thanks so much, Timmy!

[@timmysantana3263]

+Sonny Vande Putte It just kinda sucks because I can't have closure to my playlist! Great work and I love it!

[@sgtsonny]

Hahahaha I totally get that :D. I have those songs as well :D. Awesome :)

[@virtualbeck]

Nice job guys! Lots of feeling and ringing.

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much, Mike! It was great to meet you in Nashville! Next up is this guy :). Not sure if I'll ever make it to California :D. Maybe next year in Orlando for internationals? I'd have to qualify first though. Will you be competing in Orlando with High Gravity?

[@RhettRobertsMusic]

See you in Orlando :)

[@ianpenny6383]

Unfortunately due to coronavirus my choir concerts have been canceled, so I’m going to get a gang of guys and I’m thinking of singing this, just for the fun of it!

[@sgtsonny]

Sure thing, man! Have fun with it :).

[@happymimi16]

Sonny! Sonny! please! where's the tag??? Send the TAG!...I LOVE your tags

[@sgtsonny]

The tag is both on the end of this song ;) and on my channel between my other videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWW3moWIa92Brck. Thanks so much for the support, Joan :)

[@joanhalstead371]

I can't seem to locate the sheet music for the tag...this song is SOOO beautiful, I want my quartet and chorus to learn the tag! and I have searched EVERY place that has your name on it!!

[@sgtsonny]

You can just find the tag right here on barbershoptags.com: www.barbershoptags.com/tag-2004-Spend-My-Life-with-You-(Instant-Classic-Version) Have fun with it!

[@shaneb1504]

Ok you are straight up amazing! Any tips for someone starting out singing?

[@sgtsonny]

I know it'll probably sound like lame tip, but from a technique point of view the best tip I can give you is: RELAX!! 100% of my students just get in the way of their own potential by trying to hard. I'm not saying don't put in a massive amount of hours (practising, researching, recording, evaluating,...) but when you're actually singing, just trust you body and let the sound happen instead of forcing anything out. From a performer's point of view: again stop making it too hard on yourself. When you're in your room you can think about technique, breathing, support, relaxation, larynx placement,... But you need to let go of all of that once you hit the stage. Just be very present in the moment and in the delivery of your song. Trust that your body will remember all the technique for which you've worked so hard and tell the story from the heart! Move your audience!

[@shaneb1504]

Thank you for the tip! I'll try it out because I'm always a bit stressed out when I can't hit a note 😄

[@sgtsonny]

It's either out of your range of your working against yourself. I could try my whole life, I'll never hit a A1 EVER! It's just not in my register. I can hit a C5 in my chest voice though, but ONLY if I'm completely warmed up, properly aligned and relaxed to hit it! If I start thinking 'here it comes, I better hit it this time! I'm gonna give it everything I got', I'm probably already tensing up just thinking about hitting it. Then the muscle tension will make it so much harder for me to actually hit it the way I can. A GREAT book on exactly this issue is 'The inner game of music'. I can highly recommend it!

[@shaneb1504]

Sonny Vande Putte and I have one last question. How do I stop my high notes / head voice from sounding airy and weak? Also how do you not have more subscribers? This channel is full of quality content that deserves recognition!

[@sgtsonny]

Too much air on your head voice can have a couple of causes. It might be because you're taking in too much air before you start singing. The body can't hold that much air, so it escapes while you're singing. It could be that you vocal fold don't properly close even when you're singing in your chest voice, but maybe you only really notice it when you're singing in head voice. I'm afraid I can't really give you a full proof answer on that one without actually working with you. Thanks so much for the kind words again, man! I really appreciate it :)

[@joshuaingobo1559]

It's a reuploaded video.

[@sgtsonny]

That's right. The previous one had an audio error. I fixed it and uploaded the video again. That way we can all enjoy the music in both ears of the headphones :).

[@treesarecool12345678]

Sonny Vande Putte thank god. I was missing that sweet bari balance :P

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks for pointing out that the audio was panned all the way to the right. I use that to sync up video and audio and I forgot to restore it. It was bound to happen sooner or later :D. I'm glad you enjoy this version better :)

[@tomciresi9929]

Everything is perfect except at 3:26 where Sonny(lead) sings the baritone solo.
