Tragic demise of my dream !
I always thought that i could become a good singer....
I too received the opportunity of singing in AD ( Acoustic Dusk @ IITB ) ..this takes place once a year....My friend cum wingie cum drummer ( Akhil ) helped me out by having me sing for their band...
I had to sing fade to black by Metallica (* FTB *) . During my first practice on this song i did it pretty well but had problems in matching scales with the rhythm guitartist (chinnu) mainly in the last few lines . To tell u some facts.... my hands shivered a lot while holding the mike and my legs too shivered and was feeling a bit more cold than usual ..... and i guess that does happen . At tht point i had a very weird feeling coz of 2 reasons mainly..viz...singing without mic and with mic is hell lot of different and if my hands are shivering in front of a team of four,wat will i do in front of 1000 ppl during AD..... !!phew!!
After tht akhil oferred me to sing Dance of death by Iron maiden (* DOD *).....this was way tougher than fade to black....Managing scales ,pitch was no longer easy for any part of the song....I tried a lot for 2 days.... this was the only song on my playlist in winamp for 2 days continuously....and i did it somewhat well....but again the difference made by mic made it uneasy for me ....I screwed it badly during our practice and felt very bad....i do not know wat went wrong but i screwed up the scale and pitch and lyrics completely.....as in it cant get any worse :( Thouroughly discouraged.and now it is just one day left for AD
Akhil wants me to sing or try for sweet child of mine...Difficult than FTB but quite simpler as compared to DOD....and i can almost sing it i guess ....
Tragic part -->
But m a bit sick since 4-5 days and now i have a throat infection over it :((
The throat infection has become so very acute ( 1 day remaining for AD ) that i can hardly talk....Now how m i supposed to sing ??
WAT NEXT ? ( i have no clue of wat is gonna happen tomorrow )
Signing OFF.
