🎶 The Official TTF Music Thread! 🎶
Collage by The James Gang. Always brings out feelings when I listen to it.

Blue for the blue I feel when I'm feelin down on the ground
Feelin' down
That could be most any day
Green for the eyes, take look around
When the sun goes down and the sun goes down
In the strangest way
Red for the light, got to stop this thing
Find a song to sing that is everything
That I meant to say
Meant to say

Three for the mice that are blind like the world
Never see the good that is done, just the bad
It's too late to see
Two of us make it easier to read the signs
Memorize the lines
Will you play with me?
One for the road, I'll be on my way
Come another day, when the things we say
Find a way to be
Way to be

Autumn calls for a change of year, bringing winter near us
Green to brown and the sky's a sign
Wintertime is a razor blade that the devil made
It's the price we pay for the summertime
Spring days come, it's hard to know
Where the rain comes from, where the children go
It's a nursery rhyme
Nursery rhyme

Wow, very cool! Is that you on vocals?

Yes... in all our other new songs I do all the vocals, even the backing ones. My daughter used to sing back up for some of my songs, but our voices have since changed in texture (she's taken a more indie sound, while I stuck with rock), and she's also busy with her own music so I had to do all the vocals on my own now...

I must say, you have quite a voice.

I can definitely second that! There are plenty of people in the specifically German version of popular music called "Schlager", some with big record sales (or whatever corresponds to that ancient analog term nowadays) who would quickly need to book sessions with voice coaches to reach that level - assuming they are able to ...

WOAH~! Really?! Thank you so much!!

BTW, our songs (my band's) were being played RELIGIOUSLY in Ukraine before the war. I have no idea why.

At 66, I've seen and heard much ...

... including this, relatively recently (Squint-eyed being at fault, as so often - a bit of an insider joke ...) S-eS also provided me (and I actually found others by myself!) several "reaction" videos by voice coaches and other YouTube luminaries.
If this recording is from 2015 - as is believable - then she's 9 (n i n e !) at the time. At about the 20th hearing (including those "reaction" videos) I got the slight feeling that she shouldn't be straining her voice quite so much in future recordings. But without the slightest doubt, nothing in music has blown my mind even remotely like this performance for decades:

Hey -- I didn't exactly "put a spell on you"! 😅

As to "future recordings", here she is, last October, age 15:

And an appropriate song for this past Valentine's Day, now age 16:

Angie still seems to have her voice.
