A deep river flows of weathered sins and weathered souls
A kiss a hooded kiss in the seeds of desire
So grief heavenly grief my love you're bringing to me
But you've got shipwreckers eyes and all a cutting stingray smile
I heard the wind has blown a blessed lie and lovers pains
Over streets and wires underneath alien streams
So sweet heavenly sweet my love you're bringing to me
But you've got shipwreckers eyes and all a cutting stingray smile
A river flows
Of weathered souls
But I can see shipwreckers eyes
And all that cutting stingray smile
A kiss a hooded kiss for the one I love
I crossed a lonely road a beggar with sullen clouds in my head
And these lines in my face for every tear you're away
So sweet heavenly sweet my love you're bringing to me
But you got shipwreckers eyes and all a cutting stingray smile
A river flows
Of weathered souls
But I can see shipwreckers eyes
And all that cutting stingray smile
A kiss a hooded kiss for the one I love
Sweet heavenly sweet bringing my love you're bringing to me
But you've got shipwreckers eyes and all
A cutting stingray smile

There seems to be quite a glut right now of weak male vocalists. My wife refers to them using a vulgar term for a part of the female anatomy, and recommends that I don't listen to them for fear of of the de-masculinization of her husband. I have to agree with her, the whiny emotional man is starting to get old. A cursory look at your song ratings shows that you have good taste in music. Not surprisingly, given that you are a RP listener. And I'm sure you and your wife are lovely people, and I have no desire to start something. But if I may... Although I haven't necessarily noticed the de-masculinization of male vocals that you speak of, let's just say for argument's sake that you and your wife have correctly spotted a trend. Well done. But jone_ston's comment, the one that inspired my (admittedly, and uncharacteristically snarky) retort was not that male singers nowadays are whiny and emotional, but that they should sing louder and project. (He?) may well endorse your characterization of his original comment, but no matter; that only means that he shares you and your wife's opinion. I just think it's a weak claim. There is a long history of male vocal performance that could be placed into a "high and/or whiny" category, much of which I love, much I hate, and everything in between. Neil Young comes to mind. I don't like everything he's done, but in general, he comes close to deity in my musical cosmos. People always complain about his high and whiny voice. I can see why they say it, but I happen to love how he sings. It's honest and real, and moves me. I could list dozens of others that I love. And others, also high and whiny, that I can't stand, or ones that I can take or leave. I don't see this as a recent development, but that's OK. We can agree to disagree on that point. My reply to jone_ston was a reaction to what struck me as a rather narrow vision for a very wide format radio service. I'm sure there are hordes of high, whiny, non-projecting singers who Bill and Rebecca are keeping outside the gates. And others who are let in. I won't like all of the ones that get in, but in general, I trust the gatekeeper. That's why I'm here. |

| jone_ston | Posted: Jan 22, 2008 - 17:53 Blech. Another in the seemingly endless stream of people who sing so quietly that you can hear every lip smack and splash of spit in their mouth. Plus, the sibilants overwhelm then whole thing. Enough with the low-volume singing/recording, people! It's called projection! |

I know distance means nothing in cyberspace, but 6000 miles?! Thanks for keeping it in rotation, Bill. It's one of my first added uploads. |

Okay, okay... I kinda like this. Even more interesting considering it's a guy singing. |

| Essbee (Big Bend Region, Texas) | Posted: Jan 04, 2006 - 08:39 Great, MORE stuff that sounds like a woman but it's really a guy. What the? Plus you can hear all the spit in her, I mean his, mouth. Yuck. |

Very cool, original sound IMHO. The album sure is expensive though! buy it used or new through amazon sellers for a lot less. |

Now that's some alliteration I can definitely dig! |
