Thanks Feter .... &mdash 01/12/08 - 12:19:55 AM
... I actually tried to sing this one in a "deeper" voice ... and the guitar is ALL HEIGHTENED ... a Fabulous addition to Kenta's original tune. I was hooked by the original .. but when I heard the next version .. I KNEW I was gonna have my "tinker" all over it ..... [ Reply to This ]
nice nice stuff everyone! &mdash 01/12/08 - 12:33:36 AM
Kenta's got a nice tune here, and Heightened gives this a great David Gilmour (Division Bell) sounding influence (I love that lazy Pink Floyd guitar style), and Alannah, sheesh, your singing and your "speaking out of both sides of your mouth" style lyrics always keep my interest piqued.
We gotta get this girl a new computer though before she heaves her old PC out the window. :-)
ttfn,

I always love your comments ... but didn't you mean to say ... "speaking out of all four corners of my mouth" .... there has got to be at least FOUR voices in this one .... oh how I love playing with the "voices" ..... [ Reply to This ]
I love you and you're beautiful! &mdash 01/12/08 - 12:39:44 AM
I luv you too ..... &mdash 01/12/08 - 12:57:18 AM
... your baby picture is WAY cuter than mine ..... I thought you would appreciate the somewhat sultry and darker vocals I threw on this one ..... it's so you ..... but you of all people know what genre and style and sound of music attracts me .... [ Reply to This ]

That's what my clock says and I still can't sleep...so I decided to surf Macjams... and there you are. Nice to see you posting some new songs again, Alannah. This one is more haunting than ethereal, more melancholic than romantic, more sorrowful than it is uplifting... the music and your matching voice do create an atmosphere of solemn sadness, which is just my mood at this time in the morning... quite a nice listen from one of my fav macjammers. [ Reply to This ]
My time at reply is still only 12:43 ..... &mdash 01/12/08 - 02:37:13 AM
... so I'm pretty sure that since it's beer friday .. there is still plenty more melancholy to go around ... funny that I should see your comment here cause just less than ONE minute ago I was thinking about you .... oooh eeeh oooh ... LEON .... my friend ... just keep the music coming .. no matter how weird ! [ Reply to This ]
so nice &mdash 01/12/08 - 06:56:02 AM
thanks .... &mdash 01/12/08 - 02:10:14 PM
... when I first heard this tune I just couldn't get it out of my head .... cause I luvved it too - I was humming it in the car ... at work ... etc. I originally tried a different take on it ... but it was too disturbing .. (even for me) ... [ Reply to This ]
right then alannah &mdash 01/12/08 - 09:57:07 AM
wow your voice addition to this is stunning...love ALL your voices...such great interplay. i love kenta and heightened's work alot and this is just another incredible level. such wonderful lyrics and paints such a hauntingly beautiful picture. told you i would find this!! and so glad i did..."was it me".....ah....2 hats off here! [ Reply to This ]
when did you tell me .... &mdash 01/12/08 - 02:13:09 PM
... you would find this? How much beer did I drink? Was it me? Actually ... the lyrics in this song stem from a series of events which took place recently .... and it actually involved a few people .... and it is also reflective of people not trusting you enough to tell you things .. or being kept in the dark. [ Reply to This ]
Ah yes... &mdash 01/12/08 - 10:30:22 AM
... I gotta tell you... this is another vocal gem of yours, wrapped in a luscious bed of music. Consider yourself commented upon and faved.
I hope you're feeling better now... ;)
Kudos all.

.. so glad to see you back around these parts .... I miss our morning chats .... but I suppose in the long run working full time is probably better for me than sitting around in my pajamas chatting on the computer .... working full time is gonna help me buy my shiny new super-computer.

New Alannah &mdash 01/12/08 - 12:20:43 PM
Love it.....
touches of the shadows
the mist
I love it
the music bed is very cool.
Great stuff. [ Reply to This ]
yes .. the shadows ... the mist .... &mdash 01/12/08 - 02:21:12 PM
... I've always been a sucker for the style of music that has that swirling mistlike quality ... the better to tinker around with multiple vocal tracks and keep the swirl effect going ... I think I am hearing a theme here with the stuff I have been doing for the past year .... the "haunting" thing that sometimes gets stuck inside my head. [ Reply to This ]
This is &mdash 01/12/08 - 05:28:34 PM
so relaxing and dreamy with that languid backing and your voice, which I heard and loved for the first time on the Christmas song carrying it nicely forward. An unusual song 'pattern' that works beautifully, Love it, regards M [ Reply to This ]
pattern ???? &mdash 01/12/08 - 06:52:14 PM
... song pattern??? I don't think I have many of those tunes which are actually sung in a pattern ... or traditional verse verse chorus verse verse thing either ... heh heh .... I prefer to play around with no structure whatsoever .. no direction ... just kinda adlib it out there ... its fun .... thanks for the commentos. [ Reply to This ]
Well at least when you return, &mdash 01/12/08 - 11:23:54 PM
you return with a bang..this is nice....berlin in the thirties and hollywood in the 50's..I like it, great combo of styles and heartbreak. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Outta .... &mdash 01/12/08 - 11:52:51 PM
... yeah I guess I was gone for a while .... too much crap going on in the real world ... or should I call it the other world .... but it's a brand new year .. and soon I'm gonna have me a brand new computer ... and then it's some brand new music ! yay ! [ Reply to This ]
authority &mdash 01/13/08 - 10:08:19 PM
Well I think we can agree that you have a very authoritive voice that demands attention. I think if you sang out in the grocery store people would stop and throw money and lottery tickets in your direction.
Then there's the little voices swimming around in the back of the head. always questioning. nicely laid out.
[ Reply to This ]
hahaha &mdash 01/14/08 - 07:57:37 PM
Money and lottery tickets eh ...at the grocery store ..the place where all those tomatoes are so readily available .. hahaha YOU are too good to me ! [ Reply to This ]
Love that chorus, spacey sound in &mdash 01/17/08 - 10:57:22 PM
the background in the background. Being in Nashville about a year, made me grow to appreciate the female singing there, especially ad the bluebird cafe. You would fit in very well there. I'll be you would love that place, I think you would find tons of kindred spirits there. The all love music so much and poor out their souls. Love the getting down to brass tacks type of lyrics, makes for a lot of great substance especially the that soulful Alannah singing,
Thanks for sharing!!! [ Reply to This ]
Oddly enough ..... &mdash 01/19/08 - 12:14:07 AM
... I still feel I have not captured that "pouring out my soul" sound when trying to record ..... the technical end of it is kinda hindering my artistic end of things ..... cause when I pour .. I tend to get a little louder .. and when I get louder ... I peak ... and then I'm in the red ... and I'm still not sure how to set gain or compression blah blah blah to truly "pour out my soul" ... one day tho .... this too shall happen !!!! I just need to find me a "sound engineer" hahahaha [ Reply to This ]
Yeah, &mdash 01/18/08 - 10:19:16 AM
You're beautiful.
I gotta make SOMETHING else for you to sing over.
Good work [ Reply to This ]
Valley Pastor ..... &mdash 01/19/08 - 12:10:51 AM
... I would LUV and Honour the Opportunity to Sing over another one of your tunes .... ever since Blue Eyes ... I thought we could definitely come up with something again .... and as you know by now ... I am a sucker for the jazzy ... croony .... stuff .... (even though my nature is belt out a good ole fashioned rock song) p.s. you get to do the mixing .. heh heh!!! [ Reply to This ]
Alannah from Canada... from Canada... &mdash 01/27/08 - 07:10:35 AM
The words you put to Kenta's composition fit perfectly, and I love the reverb. Heightened's music makes it all dreamy, and all the voice parts give it the feel of all those thoughts overflowing and overlapping one another. Great collab! [ Reply to This ]
I can't even ... &mdash 02/03/08 - 03:17:23 AM
.. comment on the music part ... cause I just luvved it so much .... so much in fact that I felt inspired to sing all over it ..... Kenta and Heightened certainly laid down a fabulous bed for one to slumber in .... [ Reply to This ]
get down, alannah &mdash 02/06/08 - 08:47:01 AM
i couldn't even identify that vocal at first as male or female - what must it be like to go so low??? i like the concept here - and the lovely music wholly supports your swirling powerful vocals. i hear ya on the soul pouring out being difficult to do when one has to worry about the pesky technical part of things. but this worked a treat for me - very creative, and falls upon the ear in a pleasing manner.
pleased!

If you can believe this .... &mdash 02/06/08 - 07:18:22 PM
.. that is actually my voice ... I didn't change the tempo or play with any pitch control at all .. hahahaha oh my is this what MENOPAUSE brings !!!!! Must be the lack of estrogen ! [ Reply to This ]
........ &mdash 02/06/08 - 08:01:20 PM
you know, i wondered later how that might sound.
what i actually intended to transmit was that
the vocal was not attached to an entity per se,
identifying the gender or personality wasn't necessary to process the purity.
hey now! what if that WAS your Soul pouring out i heard????????
i hear they like to fuzz up the gender issue anyway, those Souls.
hey nah nah nah,
anne

hahaha &mdash 02/09/08 - 12:25:41 AM
... never worry how anything "might sound:" .... I just take it .. that it gives me a greater "range" in the long run! [ Reply to This ]
Great! &mdash 02/15/08 - 03:16:04 PM
What a great musical piece. The bed is perfectly laid for those deep vocals. I like it.

All ..... &mdash 02/16/08 - 02:14:50 AM
.. the credit goes to Skean and Heightened for laying down such an inspirational bed to begin with .... I am often only inspired to sing on what moves me ..... and that deepness (I think I alluded to it earlier as a sign of menopause or something) ... hahahaha [ Reply to This ]

What a great song... Great FX's on it.... And a great melody.... Thanks for sharing... [ Reply to This ]
Yes .... &mdash 02/16/08 - 02:17:03 AM
... we spoke about this a little earlier .. but the FX are the best part for me .... (despite some calling me the Reverb Queen) ... I remain heavy handed on that little reverb button ! Will NEVER give it up ! Thanks for stopping by ... listening and commenting .... music is such fun .. no ? [ Reply to This ]
tell me &mdash 02/28/08 - 04:54:15 AM
Wonderful expressive vocals, beautiful guitar-playing and a great arrangement. I enjoyed it a lot, thanks :-) [ Reply to This ]
Thanks .... &mdash 02/29/08 - 11:09:15 PM
.. for the kind words dirigent ... the music, of course, is all Skean and Heightened ... I just couldn't keep my greasy little voice off of it ... heh heh [ Reply to This ]
Yes! &mdash 03/08/08 - 01:15:16 AM
I'm getting a 60's hookah-type vibe here, listening to this tune. Very psychedelic, moody, and introspective.
Nice one! Thanks so much for sharing! [ Reply to This ]
Thanks for the listen Stacy .... &mdash 03/08/08 - 01:47:24 AM
... but as usual .. for those of you who know me .... I listen to other's music ..and then when I like the instrumental I am listening to and feel inpired .. I download the tune and just start to sing all over it ..... can't seem to help myself [ Reply to This ]
Wow &mdash 04/05/08 - 08:12:42 AM
Alannah.
Those Guitar Chords something else. Your voice is brilIant as usual
I hear so much of my own similar sounds in so much music I listen too
its amazing this is indeed good enough to eat. And no exception.
Well done guys excellent Job
Peace Dee xx

Yes ... the guitar got to me too ... &mdash 04/17/08 - 04:13:12 PM
.. when I first heard Kenta's original version I immediately emailed him requesting to sing on it ... he then told me that there was another version out there ... one with Heightened added guitar .. well when I heard that version .. and that guitar .. there was NO doubt left in my mind that I just LUVVED it and wanted to sing on it!

Love this one too. &mdash 04/26/08 - 12:37:49 AM
