    "Blackbird" OPB The Beatles.
    Music Written by Sir Paul McCartney & John Lennon
    This version of Blackbird was produced/ arranged/sung (singed?) by yours truly, please be kind on the upper harmony parts, I do my very best.
    Audio Mix by The masterful Ed Boyer.
    Thanks again for watching, keep looking for the light, & stay tuned...
    BY THE WAY - I know I'm going to get a lot of comments about how I should open my mouth when I sing. YEAH YEAH YEAH, I get it. But my wife and I filmed this in my living room at night when my son was asleep so I was literally whispering this whole song (hence the very closed mouth). He kept waking up and yelling "DADDY, IS THAT BLACKBIRD!?" And I kept saying, "YES, NOW GO TO SLEEP OR THE TOILET MONSTERS WILL EAT YOU".
    Toilet monsters are scary and they'll get you if you don't flush. Just saying.

My brain is conjuring up images of water the longer I think about the dynamics, like they are slowly dipping in and out of a deep, cool, calm pool in a distant cave; and languorously spreading echoing ripples.

      Edit: he recently dropped a B0, which makes Geoffs updated range B0-A5, 1 tone from being 5 octaves.
      But he said he can sing an A5 without really challenging himself, so theoretically Geoff might be able so squeeze out a B5 on a good day and this will make his range B0-B5 (on a really good day), which is 5 octaves

    Geoff, I came this video while quarantining in my home office for COVID-19. I’ve been binge watching CZcams videos to keep myself occupied. I might not be able to smell or taste right now, but I can still hear. Anyway, I was looking for covers of Blackbird when I came upon your version. I think I now have a new favorite. It’s just magical. It also led me to discover VoicePlay. Before a few days ago, I had never seen anything by VoicePlay and now I’ve been binge watching every video. I think I woke up this morning with the base line to the Grinch in my head. I’m starting to think that maybe music is the best medicine. I know that what I’ve heard has made me forget about how lousy I feel, at least for a while. I just wanted to say thanks.

    I had never heard of this guy, but I am classic rock fan. My 13 yr. old grandson was over this past weekend and was playing Geoff's videos and singing along with a bass voice. He blew me away. I had no idea that he could sing like that. He just started band this year and is playing keyboard and trumpet and excelling on both. I asked if anyone knows that he can sing like that and he said only 3 or 4 people know. I hope he shares it with his band teacher. He is very shy, and I am encouraging him to share it with others. What a gift. Geoff, thanks for sharing your gift on youtube. Apparently, my grandson watched your tutorials and was telling about how to sing the low notes. I am amazed that if a 13 yr. old can sing like that now, how much better will he be in a few years. Thanks again Geoff!!

      Да, невероятно красивый голос и ещё в таком широком диапазоне. До этого ничего подобного я не слышал. В смысле до Джеффа. Очень хорошо разбираются звуки, что очень не характерно для баса. Когда пел Штоколов трудно было разобрать текст. Хорошо разбирался текст у Михаила Рыбы ("Последний дюйм", "Мойдодыр"). Тут вообще трудно подкопаться.

It was the Farewell I never got a chance to give them. So, I know & I understand the pain you were feeling - because I was feeling it as well. 💔

    That was really surprising. Bright, unusual chord choices. There was more than one moment when one of your choices pulled me out of the song for a sec and demanded to be appreciated. This is going to get a lot of re-listens before I feel like I've heard it properly.

      @caitlinwebb8854 Před 3 lety +1

      I completely agree with you on that! The harmonic clashes are also really well complimented by the the way the keyboard sounds like a piano with the damper pedal down.
      The overall arrangement has a really soft, warm sound even with all the clashes and chromatics, like being wrapped in a blanket (of course, that has a lot to do with the quality of the voice singing the parts, the sympathetic resonance from some of those low notes is amazing).
