    Yes you can do it! Obviously! I really appreciate the lyrics too, especially in the final version which includes more of them. I sought to help my children have a similarly joyful childhood, and now being older than you I can tell you the acceleration of time only increases as you age. And as an experienced A Capella singer, I have two questions: (1) how many voices does it require to sing this piece? And (2) do you sell or make available sheet music?

    No idea how the algorithm hasn’t found you yet. The recording setup, the content, and the editing are superb. It takes us amateur musicians who haven’t learned recording yet through the entire process, with multiple hidden tips and tricks if you listen and watch closely. Keep up the work on this channel, you’re most definitely not going to regret. It’s only a matter of time. Nobody else is making content as well rounded as this in this space, and I’m serious.

  • @JoeMauri
    @JoeMauri วันที่ผ่านมา

    I really like the final result, but... nowadays it seems the trend is to strip back instruments and 'sound texture' in songs. A track like this isn’t radio-friendly because it’s too 'rich.' On the contrary, choruses often tend to have a well-defined rhythm section, a few bass notes (usually lowered by an octave), and a refrain that doesn't strain the singer’s vocal cords. I’m not saying I like this approach; actually, I prefer your piece, but as I said, it wouldn’t be radio-friendly. Peace.

    • @songsbyspencer
      @songsbyspencer 22 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      You're right. I'm in the process of working on a super poppy song for a client, and in doing so I realize how important simplicity is. If you strip back most pop songs, it's literally 1 chord progression with only 3-4 chords, and only a couple strong musical elements. As a musician, having the discipline to NOT overplay is incredibly difficult!
