hey Chris Liepe here after my recent Sam Carter vocal analysis many of you requested a Damiano
David vocal analysis the song Valentine I don't know anything about this band I've never heard
this singer at all but I'm curious as to why it was recommended multiple times having just gone
through the new architect's song Let's see what we got wasted in love misunderstood baby it's harder
to breathe when you gone so I hold in my hands pictures of you dream of the day you were aen for
[Music] two I love this Vibe so far this speaks to my roots as to why I love music love
[Music] it I can't feel you in my blood all these L just one t I'm so scared to be you Val wow who
does he sound like hold these love I'm so CH up I can't feel you in my blood all these L just
one
scared I can really relate to this vocalist and his body language and how he's bringing his hands
sort of around the mic and almost delivering the words and then taking them back to savor
what he's saying and in terms of his sound I guess I can't place a a direct similarity but
I hear aspects of Gerard Way's pent up quiver and energy it'll be interesting to see where he
goes but there's definitely something pent up that that's going to be coming out I'm I'm almost sure
of it I'd be very disappointed if there wasn't a massive d dnamic change in his [Music] voice
valeno
Valentine do you hear him almost in even though it's in a lower range almost cry that
vowel Valentine of course I'm exaggerating it a little bit but this is the kind of stuff that
makes your voice really interesting you don't just say Valentine and leave the resonance and
placement static you move it around word by word vowel by vowel he's already doing that
well even see his mouth I realize this is a
music video but T narrow it at the end it's so compelling so rich in texture

love czy and blue black hearts for popets I'm facing the room and I call myself in tattoos
of ours and dream all the day we Embrace and love his eye contact he's talking to me his
Valentine embracing the
love
oh this love I'm so choked up I can't feel you in my blood all
these L sh swers I'm so scared to be you Valentine is so much with you okay scar
to you Valentine my decline is so much better with you Valentine my deine I'm
Valen oh it's vocal compression is absolutely beautiful listen to the
way he's sang Valentine and then we'll go back and talk about the entrance into this
section this is not [Applause] valentine no it's far more interesting than that he
is leaning into his voice and heating it up with vocal compression I've talked about this
a lot in other videos lift something heavy and embrace the holding back of
air and the extra pressure that ensues based on that lifting something heavy
Valentine
Valentine there's something else I did there too which he's also doing listen to Valentine One More
[Music] Time
Valen combining it with that resonant placement
shift that I talked about earlier and then he releases out of the note
Valentine the Sigh at the end creates
this multifaceted exploration of that one-word [Applause] [Music]
phrase and then that entrance right there that timed breath [Music] listen in the
background vocals are helping with this this entrance delivery but how he Valentine
there's a little bit of Fry at the very beginning of that [Music] [Applause] note
Valen
[Applause] Valentine Valentine my clim is so much better with Val time my clim I'm always
[Music] [Applause]
running another sigh there great singers exit with size connection vulnerability
and not locking yourself into a tense state of trying to maintain a particular note there's
so many benefits in learning to embrace size in and out of your notes and [Music]
phrases oh there's some there's some radio in here [Music]
too you hear at and at the end of every phrase we have this this compressed
beginning all this all this and then a sigh out there's an arc to each one
of these all this loves [Music] I take it back he's not sighing into these that's no
it's and then all love he has a hard onset there he's got a sort of almost
a it's not a gag but it's this it's this like anticipated beat on a on a
different vowel and placement all together really bringing you into this note it's
making you want to anticipate what he's about to [Music] do this love this love
[Music]
oh here we closes
that there's that quiver I think that's the radio head that's the
Tom York I'm I'm sort of hearing there where he he closes the end of the phrase
closes that vowel in a very desperate way it's not oh this love it's this
love you heard Jeff Buckley do that a lot too [Music]
and Jimmy Neco he sounds a little bit like Jimmy Neco embracing that
extra compressed High desperate sound closing those vowels I mean there's a
lot of singers that do it but yeah Jimmy Neo that was the guy that running through my head
wow this [Music]
oh [Music] yeah love the heavy Telly this is one of my favorite things in rock music
ever when a Telly is in a heavier roll absolutely love it one of my
favorite songs of all time sound Gardens mailman is like I think the poster child
for how heavy Tellies should and this this has some of that sound in [Music]
[Applause] [Music] it I love this music this really resonates with me on so many [Music]
levels [Music] wow thank you thank you thank you for suggesting this keep the
suggestions coming it's what I love about what I get to do again if you would like
