GUITARS101 Christmas tune-singers needed - Guitars101

**VHF** · 11-24-2004, 01:50 PM

The toastmaster has completed the vocal guide track for the christmas tune....so we are ready for launch.

Everyone on this board that can sing...please sign up by the following method:

PM me with your e-mail address that can receive a 3.3M file.

Sing along with the tune and please use headphones so the guide track does not bleed over into your mic if possible.

E-mail me your vocal only track as unprocessed as possible panned center.

Please sing the entire song along with Van Man. You can sing to pitch, harmonize...whatever.

Let me know if you have any questions....thanks for your support. This will be a Guitars101 first and should turn out very nice as we have a lot of folks that can actually sing around here.

I'm up for it. Send it to wahwahwatson@btinternet.com and let me know which lines!

**Mondy** · 11-25-2004, 12:20 AM

VHFan : PM will be coming your way... Count me in !!!

wahwah : In the original thread, VHFan said to sing the whole track along with Toastmaster, and send the whole vocal, unedited, raw, track to him.

He'll then select which parts he thinks fit for solo spots or group spots.

So it'll be a surprise when it comes out...

And for everyone that needs the lyrics they are also posted in the other thread.

I just PM'd you my vocal.

El_jalepeno · 11-25-2004, 06:20 AM

Cool. Can I have until this weekend to get it to you? I can't do any singing when the family is running about!

**sweeps** · 11-25-2004, 06:32 AM

I named it Sweeps_DTKIC_wChorus and its in my site music folder.

I came across this on the net and didnt know if it would help in producing all the tracks.
Lyrics With Performers
(Paul Young)
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
(Boy George)
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time

(George Michael)
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard
(Simon LeBon)
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
(Sting) And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is
(Bono joins in)
The bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that are ringing
Are clanging chimes of doom
(Bono only) Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you.

(Everyone)
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time.
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

(Paul Young)
Here's to you
raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them
underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Chorus (Everyone)
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

DannyBoy · 11-25-2004, 10:01 AM

**Mondy** · 11-25-2004, 11:02 AM

That was fun singing along with The Toastmaster !!!

Well, I've encoded at 320 kbs, so it's currently 8.3 Mb. Can your inbox take that ?

**Mondy** · 11-25-2004, 12:04 PM

The wife is gonna have a go as well. She sings b-eeee-auuu-tiful harmonies. So assuming she figured out how to use it properly, it didn't clip, and she's actually happy with the result (which is gonna be the most important factor) then there might just be another singer making her Guitars101 debut on the site !!!

**Mondy** · 11-25-2004, 12:10 PM

Well, she just rang me back to say that she's REALLY happy with it !!!

So, she's gonna give it another listen to see if she's confident enough for it to go into public circulation, and you may just have another vocal !

Apparently, she's harmonised pretty much all the way through, and she says she comes in a bit too early on the Feed The Worlds...

**VHF** · 11-25-2004, 06:17 PM

Sounds great Mondo.....get the wife involved so she will realize you do more than just surf smut sites all day on the computer.

**Vyse** · 11-25-2004, 10:24 PM

PM coming your way VH Fan... do i have to send me singing the whole track, or just the bit i want to sing? eather way im not bothered.
