Lost a close friend today, he loved this song.

[Johan L]

I’ve never even dared trying to sing this before today. But it was the right thing to do. We listened to it a lot. I’m going to miss him. 43 years old is just not fair.
I’m not a singer obviously, but I’ve been trying to learn the basics of it for about a year. Well anyway..

Johan, so sorry for the loss of your friend. Sometimes life just doesn’t seem to make sense. This was a wonderful tribute and very well done. I’m sure your friend would be proud. Keep singing, it’s sounding very good.

[Canada Moose]

Singing takes a lot of guts, especially singing with real emotion.
well done, Johan, beautiful tribute to your friend

Fantastic tribute Johan.

My condolences for your loss. And my congratulations and applause for you baring your soul about it.a

[Johan L]

Thank you for the condolences. It’s ruff.
Seems I’m going into a creative hyperdrive as a defense mechanism this time. I’ve basically been playing guitar and creating stuff non stop since well, is it 48h?

It’s time to sleep now.
I include a taste of my most recent foolishness. I’m backing my own vocals. Improvising without using any pitch correction or autotune. Maybe I’ll take a step back and build on this later.

Hey Johan, wow your singing is soo good!
I am amazed. This is a beautiful song and I like your rhythm playing, too. Great rec quality.
You did this for your dear friend.
I feel so sorry for your loss. Expressing yourself with singing and playing helps. Music is a healer.

PS: you should have submitted this song on “Showcase your playing”..I just discovered your sub by coincidence.

Here I’m doing the worst thing I can possibly imagine and have mixed this in a way so my voice really comes through. Nothing to hide behind.. 😱

Sounding good mate, song imho was a bit slow tempo wise but your singing is very good, let it rip kiddo, let it rip.

..Billy..

[Johan L]

Slow tempo needs ambience.

Trying many different things right now regarding my voice.
Can’t judge by myself as usual.
But this one is tricky to play and sing simultaneously.
