Open Mic Week 12 - In the arms of the angel cover acapella
Here it is my first entry into the open mic contest!
I am doing and acapella cover of Sarah McLachlan's In the arms of the Angel, I hope you all enjoy :D
Lyrics:
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
To feel not good enough
And it's hard, at the end of the day
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Oh, and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
May you find some comfort here
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
Escape one last time
It's easier to believe
Oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
May you find some comfort here
May you find some comfort here

Much kudos and respect for your first entry being acapella. Nice singing voice, very soft, sweet and subtly relaxing with the balance of a smooth vibrato. This song is beautiful with such deep lyrics. Great choice for a cover. Best of luck to your entry. Upvoted
Thanks so much, I really appreciate the comment.
I have been super nervous about this entry, as I know my voice is still weak and pitchy from being sick for so long.
But just had to enter already, I'm only singing acapella because I can't edit videos and add backing music just don't know how lol.
Also with my hearing impairment I really need a voice to help me follow or I can get lost with the tune, I hope as I continue to get better my voice will return to its full range and control.
Anyway thanks so much for your kind words, and good luck for your entry as well :)
Thank you so much, and you're most welcome.
Just a suggestion for accompaniment, you can always make things easy on yourself and have an inexpensive portable speaker and a set of audio splitters to have both the speaker plugged into the splitter, and your headphones plugged in so you have the sound going into your ears, as well as the music coming out the speakers and the splitter being plugged into your laptop or source of music.
That will save you time and I do it often in my live performance videos since I currently can't edit videos right now either.
I hope your voice fully recovers and you will only get better with time, training, and due diligence. :)
Thanks so much for your comments, feedback is always appreciated!
I will look into your suggestion, the only issue I think there might be is if I have it running this way, wouldn't it also have the original singer's voice coming through with the music?
I'd love a way to easily sync an instrumental backing with an original that only I can hear, but so far I haven't had any luck yet.
My voice is getting better but it's taking so long over 6 months now, I hope to one day regain my former 4 octave range - but that may be some time in the distant future at this rate.
I'm just happy to even have what range and control I do have back, my voice was gone completely for over a week and then when it did return it would break and sound horrible.
So I'm stoked with having it at all :D
Very well done. Thanks for sharing!

No worries thanks for the support :D
Beautiful.
Thanks :)
Nice competition for everyone else to compete with, and excellent song choice!
Yeah I have been loving watching this comp, but I've been sick for months and lost my voice.
I'm only just getting it back now and it's still not where it should be, but good enough to give it a go - and I think everyone should at least have a go, even just for the fun of it!
Thanks :D
That's how I feel, at least have some fun and give it a go.
Upvote and followed. Great song. Kudos and keep on singing and sharing.
Thanks so much I really appreciate it, I was so nervous putting this out there - so really thank you :D
You remind me of my special friend who is so freekin' talented and humble. She recently did her first open mic sharing her poetry. She read a favorite poem of hers and then wrote a poem just before open mic. She wanted to share something raw, spontaneous to get out of her comfort zone. The crowd love her first poem but her down and dirty quick 15 minute poem the crowd went nuts over. SHE INSPIRES ME in so many ways like you do. Amazing things await you and me too!
