You Are

You are....RIGHT! This is a re-post from my previous post...updated with VISUAL AIDS :D Haha...Here goes the re-post...

It's been awfully long since I did a recording man. I love doing recordings. Allows me to express myself through one of the best mediums - MUSIC! :D

So yup, Lebbillie wrote a song not too long ago...like 4 months ago. She did a lil' recording using skype I think...when she was still in Oz. Yang Cheng played the guitar, she sang & they recorded it. That's a really sweet way to do a recording man. LOLS!

Anyway, we went over to Aaron Leong's place to record!

 Aaron in his "recording studio"

Why his place? He has a cool mike. The $200 mike that you always see those artists in recording studios use...Yeah. Good stuff. The recording quality's good.

But of course the programme you use to edit is as important. Haha. He uses some freeware...Forgot the name. LOLS.

Anyway, had a lotsa fun doing the recording. Like laughing at each other's mistakes...and laughing at Lebbillie's sing-alone-syndrome. HAHAHA!

Picture taken from outside the cordoned off area...HAHA!

Clearance to take photo granted. HAHA!

When she's singing, everyone else has to vacate the room. LOLS. Haha! Firstly, she's shy. Secondly, she'll burst out laughing if others are around. Haha.

Oh, and she has a really, ear-strainingly soft voice. Haha. Soft but sweet voice. Haha. We tried separately. She sing. Then I sing, layered on top. We then tried singing together, with my loud, audible voice doing the parts in the background. The moment my part came & when I sang the first note, she burst out laughing. LOLS!! HAHAHA!

All in all, after all the retakes and laughter, we came up with something not bad. :)

The intro is a lead guitar intro of the verse notes and I included a lil' guitar solo in the song! Whee heww! Haha. Should do this more often man. Hearing my own sleek solos and all...HAHAHA!

 Me in action! :D

 Still in action...haha.

Anyway, here's the lyrics of her song...

You Are
Father in Heaven
Hallowed be Your name
Let Your presence
Dwell among us today because

Today we're gonna lift Your name
Today we're gonna lift You higher
Today we're gonna lift Your name
Today we're gonna lift You higher
Higher than ever

Jesus, You're all I ever want
You're the only one I want
To sing a love song to
Jesus, I lift my hands and sing
You're wonderful, so beautiful
You're worthy of all praise

You're all I seek
Here I am, kneeling at Your feet
Jesus, my life belongs to You
I wanna live for You
You're the ruler of all the nations

Yup, it's a pretty simple worship song. Put a full band in and we could make it a good one :D haha.

Had fun man. Thanks Lebbillie for giving me the privilege to be your guitarist & co-arranger and thanks Aaron Leong for your place! :D

After that we went for dinner :D Lebbillie treated my meal! haha! Thanks man! LOLS. But it was because of this recording that I missed dinner at home and got a lil' rebuke from my mum. Haha. But, yeah, still thanks for the treat! :D Haha.

Over the dinner table, we chatted juicy topics and took beautiful photos...Haha!

The utmost expression of beauty...HAHA! Beat that. LOLS!

We were chatting randomly and didn't know how we got to the topic of the original beauty of a person w/o wearing specs...HAHA!
Upon request, I removed my specs and they said I look SCARY! I was like...WTH?? Scary?! The only comment I get when I remove my specs is "WHOA, HANDSOME!" HAHA!
They totally shattered that. HAHA! Aaron Leong even went to the extent to say he couldn't look me in the eye without me wearing my specs...Whenever I look at him he'll go "OWWW!" -__-" Lebbillie said I looked like Angry Birds. HAHAHA! Whatever.

Anyway, here's the last 2 pictures...

 Take I

Take II

Yup, had a great day! :D And Lebbillie wants to do another recording...She's not satisfied. Haha! Me too actually.
