Do you ad lib?

skcin · #1 10-08-2004, 03:09 PM

When you're listening & singing along to album versions of tunes, do you ad lib stuff you've heard live?

Here are a couple of examples that I realized I do the other day:

GDW: I tend to yell "pick it up" in between the "go home"s now, ever since I heard it on a boot (one of the AHI benefits perhaps?)

Eof17: I usually do the "no the sea it does not change, it does not change, it doesn't" part. Also "slow SAD graceful flow..."

Gypsy: I always sing "little BIT of fear"

NGBA: I hold the "come down & see MMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE again" for a longer time.

The only song that I can think of that I do this to is TOo Far from Texas...

I think it was the AHI where STevie sang it "He might never...no I know better..."

SO I always sing it "I know better..." I love that....

I sing "Close your eyes...Sara" at the end of Sara. I don't know if that's a lyric or not but I don't think so. It sounds like something she's singing though and I think it's pretty because Sara kind of sounds like a lullabye and of course I think most of us know who Sara supposed is/was so a lullabye is fitting.

I always do, with almost every song...add harmonies that are in other parts of the song, or other versions, put in words that are in other versions...gaw, do i ever sing them regular

I'm always tryna figure out some harmony, or somthing, so it's really fun for me. I do sing a few just straighforward (gypsy comes to mind) but not too many...

[/B]Know What----I ALWAYS sing a version of Rhiannon that was on the Live Fleetwood Mac CD as is the same with Landslide...I wish both songs we just a little slower... On Rhiannon, it's a higher and longer note on Sara and Landslide=same thing. I prefer the live version because the whole band is slower-----maybe the drugs ... and she starts Rhiannan by saying" this is a song about a Welch Witch" not-this is a song about some fictional person I read about in a cheesy novel-I read in an airport....[B]

maybe it was just a dream~~~eclipse~~

There are tons of them... but this one needs mentioning because I think I am the only person in the world who does it..

"Just like the white winged dove, sings a song, sounds like she's singin to ya"

...a la Red Rocks. I really like it.

I always here the "I wanna be with you everywhere" from the Tango dvd when I play the song.

I sing Christine's "new" lyrics from SYLM The Dance "Don't want to talk about it, don't want to think about it....oh...don't want to think about it anymore..." into any version of SYLM I play. It sounds cool because it's like I am singing it by myself and Lindsey is playing guitar just for me!

At the very, very end of Dreams, I always go ahahahahahahahah (I don't know how to spell that) but it's from Red Rocks Dreams.

OMG - what a GREAT thread!!!!!!

I have been known to, and gldstwmn can attest to this, sing what I consider to be perfect and, to put it kindly, "inventive" harmony very loudly in most FM songs

For instance - I repeat line after they are sung, I start them before they are sung, I make up a new harmony structure -

For example, CM sings "say you love me" and then I chant after "love me love me love me"

I willingly confess most of it is strange to the casual and usually horrified observer - but it works in my world

I find that I just keep on singin......Dreams unwind-loves a state of mind....Don't you know....that dreams unwind and love is hard to find..mmmmmm dreams unwind,loves a state of mind...way after she is done and has gone on to something else... I am still in the dream phase

Maybe I think she should say it a fe more times and lieave out the "I know..."
we all know she knows....so why say it....
Just keep on saying~~~~Dreams unwind, loves a state of mind~~~
Did I mention, I love that line-ha
