?

Should be a fun Christmas gift no? I am thinking to finish that song, then maybe do more-than-words.

Should be interesting!

Any suggestions and comments? Which songs can you recommend that would be nice (I like harmony)? Does an external microphone helps with recording quality (I use the build-in one and it sounds bit funky, I record with audacity)?

Cheers! ^^

I had initially read this as "signing for GF," and I was like "is that like mail-order brides?"

Come the wee hours of the morning, I get serious case of Strange Brain.

this is just some heart to heart advice. Singing to someone- unless you are HELLA good, is totally awkward.. For both parties.
Plus if you plan to do something like that, dont sing a song someone else wrote.
Write a poem instead then its your own words. My bf and I always make each other rage comics/poems/raps - parody songs. Its much cooler to use your creativity than someone else. ( love the idea of making a gift though., my bf made a whole bouquet of flowers and the vase they came in.. That far beats anything from a flower shop)

Don't listen to anyone who unironically uses the phrase 'hella'. They are automatically too stoned to give sound advice.

any decent girl will go absolutely insane for a dude who does that

I dunno man, I want to sing to her, so I will. I won't think about "Oh should I sing? Is it a good idea? Is it awkward?" too much because it'll be "playing games" which I hate. We're not playing games, we haven't been playing games since the start and I think I'll go ahead to do whatever I feel like doing. The reason I'm with her is because we are never awkward no matter what we do, and that comfort is good.

Did you listen to the link I posted?

roflmao, this struck me as really funny for some reason.

Singing is nice though. Takes a lot of confidence to do. Every girl I know would love it. Good luck, Evan.

For what it's worth, here is my opinion. I didn't listen to you singing, but even if it was terribad, I would give it to my girlfriend. She's actually nuts over people singing and always asking me to sing for her even though she knows I'm terrible. What counts is the effort I guess. Anyways It can't be worse than my gift, I'm knitting her a scarf myself.. so yeah.....

um. to put it bluntly. no. don't sing for her. you aren't going to sweep her off her feet with that voice. just buy her something sentimental. i listened to it too.

I say, go for it, BUT -- here are some suggestions:

1. Pick a song that fits your vocal range. Your voice strains a little at the high parts. I don't know what songs to suggest though, lol. I personally love the song "My Girl" by the Temptations, and that sounds like something you might like...?
2. Do you have a better mic? The quality isn't that great :/
3. Sing over the phone. Live. The more personal, the better.

I think it's really cute for you to do this, be it your own song or a song that's already out there. I personally love it when the boyfriend sings for me.

I remember a girl I know saying someone did that to her and she thought it was cheesy and cute. If you were to do it, DO NOT give her a recording, and try to write your own good music. I think if you wanna add some inside humor to it, it would make it nice. Since you're prob short on time, I personally like to do I'm Yours, or Hey Ya as Mat Weddle covered it..

Alright, listened to the song, This is gonna be my honest advice. First, you need to pick a better key to sing in, because this is too high for you. Trust, I have to deal with the same crap, transposing songs down for my manly voice. And just as advice, you should try to hit the notes you sing from the start instead of rising up to them, cause it's producing a kind of 'weu' sound (really noticed it leading up to the chorus), and actually reminded me of Jimmy from South Park at some points, but don't worry cause that's an easy fix. Plus it will be easier to fix if you lower the key so the notes are easier to hit. Although I may be wrong cause the audio was kind of distorted. DEF LIVE!

EDIT: OH SHIT HERE WE GO! Get her the new iphone, then..............PLAY IT LIVE OVER THE iPHONE!!! ROFL
