he's a rock singer. of course he's going to strain.
He never strained on Bomb. As I said maybe it was intentional but I don't like it.
Well answer this, what makes any song more difficult to sing than others?
And why does "difficulty" matter to you?
Complicated melody lines seems more difficult than just hitting high notes. I imagine OOTS more difficult to sing than someone just hitting a High c all day long because they have to mannuveur around a series of notes on the scale whilst the latter is just one note. I can make high pitched noizes. He hit high notes in Bomb, ATYCLB, AB, Zooropa, etc etc etc. He did it in October. He's always been hitting high notes since year dot. I don't care about keys. In this months word magazine Hazel Davies mentioned that there's more to singing then just hitting a high note at great volume. She said he can't sing because he never phrases properly. Please tell me a about him phrasing else I'm more inclined to agree with her comments.
The reason why difficulty it matters because I don't know how this album is better than Bomb or ATYCLB vocally. Plus I'm into progress in all areas and a sense that he's willing to come back and prove himself after he's blunder 3 years ago.
How many people have to tell you it's not the same riff? It's been pointed out to you by several posters.
there were plenty of people who said they could hear a riff from The Fly. Gvox, Alittle, meself and not to mention the person who started the thread in the first place.
Apologize is a melodic song because of its vocal line. As is Viva La Vida, Rule The World, don't Look Back In Anger, I guess That's Why They Call It The Blue's, Penny Lane and If You Come Back.
Compare these songs to Satisfaction, NYD and I Guess That's Why You Look Good On The Dancefloor which are more about riffs oand single note vocal lines.
Catchy Hooks is different It has to be a catchy hook you can sing along to in the vocal line because most people tkae more notice of the vocals more than anything else. It has to instantanious. There's no point saying we only include hooks in the beats or guitar because if people don't get it on one or two listens they will never be hooked. If you're out fishing and your bait is taking longer to tempt fish then you haven't got yourself a good hook. It's the same as song. I find the appeal of htese songs wear quite thin after a few listens unlike a great melody. Although they have an appeal to them, I don't go for catchy songs it they lack a great melody line. Catchy songs include: So What, Can't Get You Out Of My Head, Believe, Toxic, Girls and
...you decide.
