week 4 rehersals

This week we chose another two songs 'heart shaped box' by nirvana and 'ordinary people' by john legend, we all got split into 2 groups i got into the group 'heart shaped box', heart shaped box is a rock song and all of the singers have never sang rock before, but we made it our own, we harmonised it, added our own tone to our voice to suit the song. The band worked with us and made the instruments suited to us, because we made some changes in the song they had to follow us, example in the beggining we start accapella with harmonies and then the band come in, when a solo singer is singing the verse the band play softly so it sounds good with the solo singer and does'nt sound to loud for the singer, then come in heavily in the chorus, the way we all worked together really worked well because it sounds so good and we made it our own witch is even better.
All of this week each group rehearsed their 2 songs, so for me i rehearsed with my groups 'i feel good' and with my other group 'heart shaped box' for other groups they rehearsed 'read all about it' and 'ordinary people', for these 4 songs all the groups are different there is different people in every group, so for 'i feel good' there is certain people then for 'heart shaped box' there is different people from the last group'. I realised that the singers have to be really strong in 'heart shaped box' this song is a very heavy, dark song so we need to give as much energy in the chorus really mean it, kind of shout the words out. The solo singers can do their own thing and be a little quiter then the chorus but still have a dark, heavy tone to their voice because this song has that vibe and style. I think we all digested the song really quickly and worked well on it, did not complain just got on with it, at first the singers were like how are we going to sing this kind of song? but we stayed positive and made it work for all of us, and i think it feels really good, and sounds really good.

This week we also worked on our color songs, but i was'nt in on the wednesday when they worked on my color so my group actually changed the whole song and made it a duet between immanuel and joe.
