Royals, by Lorde.
Almost halfway. Through the year. 2021.
Seemed like a good moment to look up proper microphone positions and try one out. Seemed kinda decent before I decided to layer on more vocals, after wisely singing something resembling a harmony on a couple choruses on the main track? [nervous laughter]
I attempted this song a few times on other nights earlier this year, and I’m not sure what stopped me, but the best performance tonight was in rehearsal, natch, and the second best was in the first take that I had to stop because my hard drive was full again, and reader, it’s full because “a song a day” adds up real quick when there’s a .mov from the video recording and then a .m4v from Garage Band and then a .mp4 coming out of iMovie to upload.
There’s probably a better way? Maybe not?
