Singing

Do you sing? Not for others just the spontaneous eruption maybe because you feel great or just like a song a lot. I do when I’m in a great mood. In the best moods I make up songs. I can find other people singing very comforting, my dad singing nonsense enraged me as a teenager and now I love it. I sometimes sing to comfort myself. We get shamed out of it don’t we, cram it into this concept of performance and entertainment and being good

I was close to an anxiety attack the other day and started singing / shouting the proclaimers in defiance and it calmed me down

Funny i was thinking about what it is to be a singer,
I watched a cover version of bittersweet symphony on yt, by a teenager, singing her heart out, covering a standard, and thought: she is a singer.
Whereas when the verve guy does it it's like he's too cool to sing, the video is him walking down the road like he's not singing, in fact he's some guy who wants to front a band cos he has a big ego, and having to sing is just a means to an end to be minimised as much as possible

You'll probably tell me he was a chorister, I won't punish you with the actual yt links don't worry

Singing would be near the top of talents I'd like to have. It just seems a very pure and joyful thing. I'd never talk, I'd only sing. No woman would be able to resist me.

Its not a talent mate it’s an impulse and a pure form of expression that predates humans and language and poetry

When you get back to London I will 'sing' for you and make you change your mind. I can't make the different notes and stuff

I’d love that but it’s not about me that’s the point luka. Forget about what good is. I want you to go into your bathroom now and sing the proclaimers 500 miles dadadada as loud as you can and then come back and tell me how you feel

I'll feel like a cunt and I'll be massively self conscious of my 60 or so neighbours hearing it

Haha they’ll think you’re trying to do your own version of the Italian thing. Ok just do it normal shower song level

When I sing its cos I'm doing a thing like wrong way down a one way street. A throaty rousing self written Chorus designed to empower me and motivate me

An interesting distinction. Some of the worst singing to listen to is the fake accent up and down the scale warbling and some of the most enjoyable is the grunted and half arsed

How they all want to drag me down and destroy me but I'm too powerful and I will win in the end. I make up a couple of lines or so on that theme and 'sing' them
