My band, The Rose Lights is filling my mind a lot lately, mainly because I am really excited about it and we just got a Facebook/Myspace thing which these days is what makes your band legit. Dinner Bell is our first recorded song, and I've been getting some good feedback which is exciting, but also scary because I feel that we need to record fast to keep up the momentum we have.
It has led me to a weird speaking voice vs. singing voice identity disparity. Most people seem to not think that my singing voice sounds like my talking voice and then give me all kinds of funny looks, which I feel ambivalent about. I am normally flattered that people think I have a good voice, but I am also weirded out by the fact that people would say I don't sound like I would sing the way I do, or I don't sing like I'm myself, because the fact is that that is the way I do sing, and I've known nothing different. Also, people like Jack White, Bright Eyes, and Beyonce, you can tell their talking and singing voice is the same. Oh well. I am generally happy with the positive response and I'm excited that people like my voice because I will be less nervous about it. Maybe it's a chance to break away from my day-to-day persona.
In other news, my life is being pretty boring. Day-to-day it is interesting, but eventfully, there's not much besides the band or maybe I'm just not in the mood to divulge. Take a listen to the band, though.
