Elysian Night (The Falsetto Song)

Although i’ll probably continue to putz a bit with it, for all intents and purposes here it is.

However, you MUST understand: it is NOT for my voice. Like, REALLY not for my voice. I cannot pull off falsetto to save my life. A few years ago it became all the rage for male singer songwriters to throw all sorts of falsetto tidbits into their songs. Amongst the many ways i scrape by is by playing piano and i have a book full of songs i cover. However, if the song is one of these “use some falsetto” songs, i cannot do it, or must do some utterly reworked version (where you say, sing really low and totally change the song around). This is because i canNOT sing falsetto.

You must picture an actual competent singer singing it. I’m not being overly modest, i know i’m a competent singer under normal circumstances… never gonna win any awards for my voice, but definitely competent. So i’m not playing false modesty when i tell you, really, i can’t do falsetto. Picture this track being sung by someone with a great falsetto voice. You must.

Lastly, i want to just post the song that this new one is replacing. Maybe i’m crazy. maybe i’m making a mistake. I don’t know. Who knows why i make the decisions i do? If you think i’m utterly wrong to replace the old one with the new one i’d be curious to hear that.
