This Is What Happens When I'm Frustrated

Sometimes while rehearsing — particularly while working on a track that’s vocally difficult — I get angry. And that’s when weird things start to happen:

David Gray’s “Lately” Sung in Intentionally Horrible Scott Stapp Voice (mp3)

If you’re not familiar with the song I’m singing:

David Gray’s “Lately”

(On a side note, watch the David Gray video at about 2:10. His voice cracks BADLY on an F where he would be singing “twist”. That’s not even a particularly high note for a male vocalist, but it’s heartening to see a seasoned pro do that. It reminds of watching professional tennis players and every now and then, one of them just totally whiffs it. It would make me feel better on the court. So maybe this can make me feel better on stage.)
