Re: Nur Ein! IX - Final round

Yes, I sang it that way on purpose.
That is my singing style.
I believe one might consider it a " grace note " in the jazzy/bluesy world.
Also, I have never heard of that other artist you mentioned, so any similarity was totally a coincidence.

Re: Nur Ein VIII- Round Three

At Ray- "Jockey Full of Bourbon" is a fabulous song, and any comparison to Tom Waits is a welcome compliment, So Thanks! I can see how the phrasing and structure are comparable, but the genre (jazzy-speak-easy/tango-ish) itself is pretty formulaic. It seems to me that any actual similariti...

In regard to Merisan's speculative use of cacophony: To me, ones mans impression of a harmonic symphony could be to another mans ear, a loud and unpleasant mess. :wink: Given my own taste and disposition, I did feel like we managed to make a noisy and discordant racket.

Jan K said: Merisan: "You did work the title in, but it feels like a bit of an afterthought." I disagree. I make reference to colors, shades and hues throughout the entire song. I am alluding that while youth and memories fade, that my love will not. I thought it was pretty spelled out, bu...
