Like a Sad Song (John Denver)

I try not to struggle getting the perfect recording - or at least I wont be so bothered going forward.  Nailing a first or second or third take I suspect just comes with seasoning where you get used to the routine of playing, rehearsing, recording.  Meanwhile, spending hours trying to nail all the random hiccups that can happen is just not efficient!  Recording just takes practice because it can be nerve racking.

Challenges
 - I don't know why but I just wanted to sing every line on a single breath, so there are just a few places where you can breath
 - your spit builds up and because you're using every break to breath, you just gotta deal with it
 - pretty high
 - Light accompaniment so screw ups are exposed

Nice. This is a wholesome subscription. I am enjoying the music and songs you choose to do. Interesting entire post of self-criticism. Chill, it’s good and mistakes are beautiful.
Arigatou! I actually updated the recording because there were too many flat notes, and the recording was just unbalanced voice v. guitar. But at least this one I can turn the page feeling that it was a good exercise.
