You don't have to sing high If you've got something to say If you've got something to share You've got a story to tell If your pitch ain't quite right I know you might be afraid But you got through it OK Don't be afraid, love You've got a story to tell |
CREDITS: Music and Lyrics by Lead and HarmonyVocals and whistling, Guitars, Fender Rhodes Electric Piano, Keyboards, Bass, Clarinet, Drums (including sandpaper and sticks) - Mark Greenawalt BEHIND THE MUSIC: I wrote this song while sitting at my piano, but I didn't record it right away. I was waiting for the time to be right I guess. I had planned to hire someone on Fiverr to do the whistling (since I never learned to whistle). But I did hope to one day be able to whistle this tune myself so I started practicing. Lo and behold, I didn't get great yet, but I was at least able to do the whistle track myself. Also new for me is playing the clarinet. Luckily, it's a bit similar to playing saxophone and flute so I was able to at least play this little piece in the middle of this song. The final element that came together was buying back my Fender Rhodes that I sold over 2 decades ago. I had intended the song to be a piano song, but when I played it on my Rhodes, it was almost like I knew why the time wasn't right to record it before now. While doing the studio recording of each instrument, I set up my iPhone on a tripod to do a video of each take. So this video shows the performance of the final takes in the studio.
