Thread Name: Lyr Add: Ickle Dorrit's song 'Sparehand'
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Ickle Dorrit's song 'Sparehand'
Naemanson - I've sung harmonies with Ickle Dorritt on her song at her request. I also felt that there are solo lines in there, so I sung harmonies on the last four or six lines in each verse, leaving Ickle the first two or four lines on her own. Given more time to work it all out, it might've been different.

I certainly like the idea of a three part unaccompanied harmony version with the voices coming in and out at appropriate times and the timing and volume carefully arranged to the words. Perhaps there could be times when the harmony would alter with the mood of the song? All that would sound really special. I'm much more of an intuitive singer/player myself, but I would certainly love to hear such a version. If you do get it sounding how you want it, it would be nice if you could get a recording back to Ickle (I'm sure you'd do that anyway) as she would be chuffed to bits.
