1367- Una campana no es campana hasta que suene. Una canción no es canción hasta que se cante. Un amor no es amor hasta que se regale.

Nadia Sings no. 3

Link to last week’s song

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!!

(Headphones recommended to hear the reverb)

This is to highlight lyricists who pretty much solely did lyrics, not composer-lyricists! If there's another lyricist you love who isn't listed here, please leave that in the tags!

“Sondheim would acknowledge that Oscar [Hammerstein], like his own father, was not good with children until they reached a rational age, “and the trouble with that is, by the time you are at a rational age, a number of wounds have been inflicted and scars have formed.””

- Something Wonderful by Todd S Purdum

Sondheim stabbing me with words of truth once again
