Since my Arthur Christmas post has been making the rounds and gotten a bit of attention this month I thought I might as well inform all of you lovely Steve simps . . .Arthur Christmas movie fans that we actually have a Discord! (I'm one of the mods @PeterTheElf'sInternPersy don't be shy and say hi!!! And the creator of the server Lex is very friendly too!!) The discord is very dedicated to simping over Steve . . .expressing our love and fan creations for this festive holiday film!
Today we have a modern musical theater classic: “On My Own” from the musical Les Miserables (music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, based on the 1862 novel of the same name by Victor Hugo)
Life is apparently tiring when you’re catching up on two week’s worth of housework from when your parents were in the hospital, but I managed to figure out this week’s Nadia Sings.
(My dad thanks you all for your thoughts and prayers, he’s now been home for a week after receiving his lifesaving laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. He’s feeling almost completely normal, and is doing light work around the house.)
This song is one of my favorites, especially having grown up idolizing my fellow Filipino, Lea Salonga.

🇵🇭
I dare say I like it even more than “I Dreamed a Dream”.
And for those who know, before you say, “Wait a minute, it sounds weird,” I am not singing it in original key, because (and not to sound like such a soprano, I’m just really being honest here) the original key is too low for me.
Like, you-cannot-hear-the-low-notes low.
I tell you, it was such a strange experience hearing the introduction that high.
Once again, using my trusty recording studio (*cough*mydiningroom*cough*), and my favorite recording app, BandLab (not an advertisement, you guys know the drill 🤣), I put this together, and, as usual, while I put a little reverb effect on the backing track I used, as well as on my vocal track, this is otherwise as unadulterated a track as the one I posted last week, just my voice, with no pitch correction, recorded into my iPhone.
I hope you enjoy!!

POSTED THIS EARLIER venting about spammers who accost people who post about music here:
but that doesn't quite illustrate it well enough
SO HOW'S ABOUT A VIDEO MONTAGE (sorta, if you can call a video of a screen recording a montage)
song is mine btw, more info underneath this Spotify link to it (tho you can find it & all my other stuff anywhere you can find muics):
this ain't even the half of it. avoid ctkvi/"the creative studio"/ongawdclub/canmking/whatever other sockpuppets they may have. most of these blogs will have the same sorts of posts:
and they get people by spamming likes and reblogs of anyone who mentions music, music videos, Spotify, graphics, etc.
AND I'M SURE THIS POST WILL ATTRACT MORE OF THESE "PEOPLE" (read: algorithms poorly pretending to be sentient beings) TOO
but, you know what? that's fine. that'll just make it easier for me to block them. and they'll be proving my point! bonus!!!!
anyway here's another song of mine, the latest single i put out (another one coming soon). they can spam? i can shamelessly self-promote.

Today we have a musical theater classic: “My Favorite Things” from the musical The Sound of Music (music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II)
Initially, I was going to do a completely different song this week, but that… didn’t pan out, and I was considering not posting a song this week at all, because I couldn’t think of what to sing, and because I wasn’t sure if I’d have time to record once I realized the first song wasn’t going to work.
(Life is challenging and hectic when your parents are in the hospital [dad got life-saving gallbladder surgery, mom is there to keep him company], and it’s literally your birthday…)
Anyway…
This song comes to you courtesy of the beautiful, and ever-inspirational @valmare, actually.
She mentioned Rodgers & Hammerstein in her lovely and wonderful reblog of last week’s song, and that unconsciously got tucked away in my head.
Then, today, while I was sitting at the dining table, before I was about to write a post saying that Nadia Sings was going to take a week off, I realized I was humming something.
And that something was this song.
So once again using the dining room as my recording studio, I recorded and mastered this song in BandLab (again, not an advertisement, I just love that app—it’s like ProTools on your phone) in about three hours, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.
Again, while I put a little reverb effect on the backing track I used, as well as on my vocal track, this is otherwise as unadulterated a track as the one I posted last week, just my voice, with no pitch correction, recorded into my iPhone.
Note: it is part of my training to have a British/transatlantic accent when I sing particular things, this musical included.
I hope you enjoy!!
