Three Questions About You

MMVS
1. How often to you practice singing?

2. Do you play any instruments?

3. How many ideas can you come up with to complete these lyrics?

"I never want to thank you for the..."

  1. OK sooo im going to be HONEST!
    1. my practicing this week was a complete fail!!! i mostly worked on my monologue for STAGE. I worked a little on Memories but deff not as much as i should have.
    2.NONE!!! I really want to learn how to play guitar!!!
    3. I can think of a billion ideas to end these lyrics!:)
    FACT: I am really bad about posting my practice times on here. I MEAN REALLY BAD! i need to work on that! LOL

  2. 1. I practice singing every day, sometimes for several hours a day, while teaching. If I have a performance after a day/night of teaching, I am ON! I also practice in the car every day. I never listen to the radio, I keep songs with me that I'm working on or that my students are working on.

    2. I play guitar, a little piano and a little bass. I am not nearly good enough at ANY of them. I've been focused on mastering singing my whole life and have not yet applied myself enough on my other instruments.

    3. I am looking for a creative way to finish the lyric listed above so I'll let you guys help me with that!

    FUN FACT: I was practicing "Hot N Cold" by Katy Perry today, trying to do quick "catch breaths" between lines in the chorus. I gave myself the hiccups! While driving on the highway. I felt kinda stupid.

  5. 1. I usually practice breathing exercises in the morning, about 15 minutes or so. In the evening I try to do 15-30 minutes vocal exercises and whatever piece I am supposed to be practicing. I also sing loudly in the car and in the shower, which I'm sure annoys the crap out of my downstairs neighbor. Probably not as much as my banjo playing annoys her, though.

    2. Over the years I have played piano, guitar, bells, banjo and a little marimba. I was in a handbell choir for a while. I also rock the kazoo, and have attempted to play the penny whistle and bass. It is my secret dream to learn how to play the fiddle. And the pedal steel.

    3. Yeah, I'm no good with lyrics. I only steal them from other people, sorry!

  6. 1. Before this month I would do something to help my voice everyday. A bunch of health issues got in the way and now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things for upcoming shows.

    2. Guitar is the only instrument that I can say that I play without laughing.

    3. We can go all over the place with this one...

    "I never want to thank you for the way you for the way you make me feel.
    Lets be real.
    If I was born with the outer skin of an orange
    then you were sent here to make me peel"

  9. 1. the goal is twice a day. the reason why it isn't. i'm still working on it

    2. guitar, drums, bass, mandolin, ukelele, piano

    3. "I'll never thank you for the end of it all, it seems so distant now, like a cannonball.

  10. 1. I sing every single day, and honestly forget to practice the exercises every day but I try to remember.
    2. I play piano and I'm working on the guitar.
    3. I never want to thank you for making me second best. I refuse to be that way,and you are the reason for this pain in my chest.

    fun fact: I suck at posting on this. I'm sorry Mel.

  11. Haha great lyric ideas everyone, thanks. I like the "fun facts" too.

    @Richard, @Duranzilla, how about

    or for spilling your friend's soda and then laughing in my face."

  16. 1) while I sing about 30 min to upwards of 8 hours a day, the term 'practice' only applies to about 10% of that time

    2) guitar, mandolin, danforth bones

    3) ...meatballs

  17. 1. Well, I sing a lot, throughout much of the day, how of that is true practice? Ehh, not a whole lot. I really practice a few times a week.

  19. 1. Practice 6 days a week, twice with my main band, once with practice band, and three days by myself for a few hours.
    2. I dont play another instrument seriously.
    3. I never want to thank you for the way you make me feel, never want to show you that the pain I felt was real, but at the same time, our love was no lie, all I ask is that you try and never deny, that the two of us felt right

    Nothing could ever come between me and you,
    but the silent whisper,
    those who feel that everything we did was untrue,
    in the end I was a drifter

    I never want to thank you for the way you make me feel, my heart will never again be healed, i still remember what you put me through, you grew, you grew apart from me, and i, I just couldnt see

    Nothing could ever come between me and you,
    but the silent whisper,
    those who feel that everything we did was untrue,
    in the end I was a drifter

    I know I can never have you
    if i could, would i even want to
    you hurt me but youre beautiful
    beautiful and cruel

    My favorite dreams are the ones of you and i
    i wonder why

    Nothing could ever come between me and you,
    but the silent whisper,
    those who feel that everything we did was untrue,
    in the end I was a drifter
    Nothing could ever come between me and you
    except the truth
