Pre-T Vlog Transcript Oct 17, 2016

Original video is here

My name is Rey, I'm 37 about to turn 38, I've actually had one shot of T but there's really no changes yet so this is effectively a pre-T video. I just wanted to kind of track the changes in my voice. What I have now is just thanks to practice and naturally I have a deeper voice.
Slightly nervous recording. Don't know why.
(Nervous laugh and cough, then launches into singing.)

(Acapella singing)
The week before Easter on a morn bright and clear,
Oh the sun it was shining, and clean blew the air,
I went to the forest to gather wild flowers
But the forest would yield me no roses.

The roses are red and the leaves they are green,
All the bushes and briars are a joy to be seen,
And the small birds are singing and changing their notes
Down among the wild beasts in the forest.

The first time I saw my love, she was dressed all in white,
Made my eyes run and water, fair dazzled my sight.
But now she has left me and shown me false play,
For she's gone to be wed to another.

The last time I saw my love she did in the church stand,
With a ring on her finger, and a glove in her hand,
And I thought to myself that I should have been that man,
But she's left me and gone with some other.

The parson that married them, aloud he did cry
All those that forbid it, I would have you stand nigh,
And I thought to myself I've a good reason why
But I had not the heart to forbid it.

Oh dig me my grave, dig it long wide and deep,
And cover it over with flowers so sweet,
and I lay myself down for to take a long sleep,
For that's the best way to forget her.

I really liked this song when I first heard it. I was introduced to it by Wylde Nept, a friend of ours took us to see that band up in Chicago. I like the song, it's a good Irish ballad, on the other hand he kind of sounds like in modern times the guy who'd be wearing a fedora and complaining that she's not appreciative enough because he held the door for her. So times change? Or maybe they don't.

My voice is a little rough from allergies, and also this is first thing in the morning. I had a couple goes at making the video beforehand and messed up the lyrics. I guess I'll be giving myself my second shot, this afternoon actually, and record another video in a few weeks or a month and see how my voice has changed. Wish me luck!
