Read description ⬇️⬇️⬇️ •May 2019 Update: The idea to do this originated in May 2016, when some of the guys got ahold of the arrangement and wanted to sing it for fun. I suggested that we record it since I had all the gear. We met up at my house and had 4 hours to learn and perform it from scratch. All the vocals are our actual voices. The audio is a mix of live singing and re-tracks. In post, I added snaps and claps, and did the best that I could to make everything line up, which wasn't an easy task. I knew that the timing was a little off even before I read 500+ comments telling me that it was off. If it sounds like one of the soloists is out of time, it is NOT his fault. All of us are able to keep rhythm, but our time constraints kept us from learning this to the point where we could perform it straight through live. I posted this video, not because I thought it was perfect, but because we all enjoy music, and I wanted these hard-working and talented guys to see the fruits of their labor. Thanks and enjoy!! ——— Thanks to my fantastic patrons: Alan V. Itamar L. Chip W. You guys are awesome!!! My dream is to make a living by creating music. You can help me make this happen!
