I wish I had a voice but it's too late now

Col

Col ... you do very well with the voice you have ... very nicely done ...
Even though for the most part the harmony is subtle, I don't think I would have used it on the entire song ... but that's MY choice ...

This 'music exchange' is great, not just for the fact that we hear each others talent, but it also provides me with ideas of tunes to attempt - even if only for my own enjoyment - that I might not have thought of myself ...

Thanks Tony

I must learn to keep my hand away from the harmony button or Uncle Donny will be slapping my hand again. I've sung the lower harmony part most of singing career so I suppose I feel lost without it (Ahhh).

Thanks a lot for the comments, I'm off to find something else interesting to record.

As we usually say to the audience, if you have any requests please keep them to yourselves.

Regards

Col

Now for the real thing:

Fabulous upload there of kd Lang's version.
I particularly like the use of 9th chords on the guitar for most of the arrangement..gives it an almost heavenly aura!

You keep coming up with some great YouTube versions of lots of fabulous examples of the best.
Do you keep them on a special file in your PC ?
I would love to have a list!
cheers
Eddie

Agreed, Eddie. That haunting intro and ending is a beaut. Kind of a mystical Arabic feel. kd's a local gal from around these parts in Alberta, just a small village out on the wilds of the prairie about 80 miles south-east of here. One of the great voices.

I was raised on the Sask Prairies....Where are you at?

Actually the last two comments somehow brought to mind that the original natives of the continent (mostly known as "red indians") were into the same kind of sounds we hear in this song from kd Lang...agree?

With apologies to Saswick for hijacking his great thread..
Having just read up about kd Lang because of this thread, I am now beginning to doubt my sexuality!
I remember years ago being in love with (figuratively!)Cybill shepherd and Ellen Degeneres and now kd Lang...
get my drift?
Didn't mean to offend anyone, so apologies in advance

Hi rphillipchuk, I'm in the great city of Edmonton.

Eddie, I'm not hearing any "red indian" or First Nations People influence in kd's track. In this part of North America, most of our local First Nations are of Plains Cree heritage and most of their traditional music is of a sort of high-pitched chanting or 'wailing' for want of a better word, accompanied by several drummers. I'm no expert on this. Maybe rphillipchuk has more insight.

Sorry, we've gotten away from arrangers a bit here.
