Description Apokafunk was kind enough to allow me to have my "tinker" on one of his tunes (A Quiet Moment - http://www.macjams.com/song/44565). Recently I was listening to some music with some friends and they were fascinated by those flute-like high notes that Mariah Carey is able to achieve. So, I wondered whether or not I could pull those off myself - I attempted to throw a couple of them into this tune here .... not sure if I pulled it off or not.
Lyrics I don’t wanna
Talk about it
How you made me feel
That time
When you caught me off guard
Oooh I think I love you
But I don’t wanna say
That out loud
Ooooh
It’s my best kept secret
Cause nobody knows
Nobody knows
Maybe now you do
That I love you
That I love you
Shhhhhhhh
It’s a secret
It’s a secret between you and me
Shhhhhhh
Mmmmmm oooooh
I love you
Shhhhhhh
Shhhhhhh
Don’t tell anybody
Mmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm
Oooooh I love you
Yes I – yes I do
Yes I do
Oooooh
Maybe one day
I’ll say this to you too
I’ll tell you
That I love you
That I love you
Yes I do
I love you
Oooooh
Yes I - Yes I do
Love – Love you

Alannah said 155 days ago
Thanks Mowguy ....
.. I think I actually choked up on a few of those high notes .... but if I can hide my visiting mother snoring in the background when I record ... I can hide anything ! hahaha

Skean said 156 days ago
Sweet
I love this what more can I say... Cheers


Take care

Thanks Skean ...
This was fun to do .. with all those vocal tracks and the "experimentation" I had going on!

magnatone said 156 days ago
Best Kept Secret
oh yeah - you did!

Alannah said 155 days ago
Thanks Magnatone ...
I keep trying to "do" good to hear when I "did".

lengold said 156 days ago
Excellent soundbed
I really like the lyrical ideas - and I think this is the best I've heard your voice. Very enjoyable.
Cheers
Len



Alannah said 155 days ago
Thanks Len ....
.. I try to add some lyrical differences to each song I do ... so as to keep on experimenting and not sound too much like the same thing time and time again.

michael2 said 156 days ago
really cool
i like what you did with this while having a tinker. your voice sounds great. i'm actually really into the way you sing over everyone elses stuff (even though you have voiced your doubts about it). very nice alannah.

Alannah said 155 days ago
Careful ....
.. careful my friend ... or I shall be having a tinker on another one of yours .. heh heh ... maybe one day with all this gear I keep buying I actually will try to write a backing track of my own ... but I am a long way off that still .... just grateful to have all these great Macjammers who allow me to "tinker" on their music.

guygrooves said 156 days ago
Wow..
you have quite the range. I am enthralled with the way you write your lyrics. It is unique and beautiful. Then there is your skills as a singer. You keep getting better and better. thanks for a great son Allanah.

Alannah said 155 days ago
Better and Better ....
... or is it drunker and drunker .. heh heh ... who can't be happy with a compliment of "better and better" .. thanks GuyG.

MarkHolbrook said 156 days ago
Allanuh...
Wow... I can picture you in some smokey jazz bar... Wow... What a killer vocal!

I don't think there is much you can't do!

Alannah said 155 days ago
Thanks Mark ....
.. I DO like smokey jazz bars .... as for there being "much I can't do" ... well the experimentation has just begun ... heh heh ... wait for my Tuvan Throat Singing ! hahahaha

The Best Kept Secret
Wow Alannah

Seriousely you sound gorgous on this one too and the music sounds delicious too. Great collab. Well done also mixed just right too.

Peace Dee xx

I forgot again!
Your song writing skills are awsome too.

Alannah said 155 days ago
Thanks Dee ....
you are such a loyal listener and supporter of so many Mjers ... and the secrets shall be unveiled with each posting ... as the "experimentation" continues ....

Macaudion said 156 days ago
Now, this wouldn't by chance be a sequel to, "Forbidden", would it...
... go head on then, Mizz Lady...

Simply, beautiful and, on all accounts.

Sometimes ya just can't resist the urge to do a little "butt shinning" when ders dat much ray and warmth in the light of star power...

Can't wait to hear the sequel to "this"...

Yours, truly...

ps speaking of "this", doncha just hate it when the heart drops such huge crumbs "this" close to it's locale...

Alannah said 155 days ago
"this" ....
... is there more than one "this"? What is the first "this" the second "this" and any other "thisses"? hahahaha macaudion .... and a sequel .. you want a sequel ? How would it go?

kassia said 156 days ago
Secret
Now listen to that range! Gorgeous, as always. Your tinkers are genius. I love the improv feel you give to the songs...heartfelt and REAL. Just you and the music in the moment. Love it.

Alannah said 155 days ago
Thanks Kassia ....
... pretty much everything I record is basically improv as I tend to listen to the tune just once or twice and then just start singing ... and the lyrics often spill out as I am recording and I have to go back later and write down what I actually sang ... hahaha sort of like one big jam session for me !

dirigent said 156 days ago
The Best Kept Secret
Fantastic and lovely track. Most charming, great voice, superb!!!

Alannah said 155 days ago
Thanks Dirigent ....
... you used a lot of great adjectives there ! (they are adjectives aren't they ... been a long time since I went to high school English) ... but they were great anyway whatever they were !

apocafunk said 155 days ago
wonderful take on this track
i've gotta say, you worked wonders on this track. when i did the music, i had no idea it could sound this beautiful. thank you so much, for sharing your gift in collaboration. very enjoyable

Alannah said 155 days ago
Well Apok ....
... for those who have had an "Alannah-tinker" before know .... first it takes a great inspirational piece of music - which captivates me upon first listen and I just KNOW I wanna Tinker on it ! I look forward to any future tinkerings to be had on your stuff!

davisamerica said 154 days ago
right then...
Patrick and I were lucky enough to have an early "sneeky peek" and both of us fell in love with with this beauty. This final master is just a big step up from a wonderful place indeed. You two have produced a "to kill for " track ..imho! : -]

Alannah said 154 days ago
Thanks Davis ....
... All the "toes" and I thank you for your always generous compliments !

timothy devine said 154 days ago

Alannah said 152 days ago
High Flute Vox ....
... first step .... Tuvan Throat Singing ... Next Step .. hahahaha Thanks for the listen and comment Tim ... always great to see you 'round these parts !

Vic Holman said 153 days ago
well if ya ask me...
I think you pulled off those high notes very well.... without having to stand on a ladder yet.

I should also mention, that you have a great way of picking out a melody on the songs you choose as well.

Alannah said 152 days ago
yes ....
.. you know Vic .. this is one of the things I find so interesting about Macjams ... is when more than one person creates their own version of the same song ... how the melody creation can be so different ..... I did a M2 tune once ... and so did Mysti .. and so did M2 himself .. and Biba_Nova .. and then Biba_Nova got all three versions and somehow managed to mix them into ONE tune .. and as different as the three melodies were .... in the MIX they all sounded so GREAT together ..... ah such fun ... if anyone is interested in this MIX UP of three totally different collabs .. it is here: http://www.macjams.com/song/36783 (actually there are TWO Versions of this tune - this one is the Leonard Cohen Version - which I prefer) .. the other one is here: http://www.macjams.com/song/36786 (a slightly faster tempo)
