Post by: Red on January 01, 2018, 05:07:41 PM: Friday night they have to play Better Than Them :)

I'd also love to hear the following

Trust
Curse
Master Race
Love Songs
Shot 18
Born Feral
Summer Moors

To be honest I can't wait to be part of such a unique event that I really don't mind what is played but it would be nice to hear tracks that we don't normally hear :) :)

Post by: cthulhu on January 04, 2018, 02:45:51 PM: well, though they said that for this event "strong melodies and slower, easy vocal rhythms" would be the choice, i'd really love to experience what will happen, when "get me out" is shouted by thousand voices.
i think that could be some kind of cleansing experience.

it also would be cool, if they divide the room for some songs in different lyrics, so one side is singing the chorus and the other the main part or something like this.

Post by: lotus on January 04, 2018, 06:32:23 PM: It`s not a JS solo "silent song" gig and so I prefer other songs, perhaps
Archway Towers
1.000 voices crying "No , No, Noooooo" in a church .....
Title: Re: What songs do you want to sing at Nights of 1000 voices?
Post by: Rusco on January 05, 2018, 02:38:07 AM: The Mermaid Song, good call Raven!

Lotus, I guess the priests willl try to turn folks away with crosses in hands and talking loudly something about pagans infecting the Church. :)

Title: Re: What songs do you want to sing at Nights of 1000 voices?
Post by: Amandistan on January 07, 2018, 11:55:37 PM: If the aim is for songs that are easier for a group to sing, I would go for Autumn, Rivers. I think "Light go out" would also work well. Between Dog and Wolf. I am a fan of the songs with more long, narrative versus but think they are harder to sing. I know some are coming from France and Italy who do not know so much english. One friend of mine often uses translate. I imagine something like "Another Imperial Day" or Island would be harder for them than it would for native speakers.

Post by: texaspete on January 08, 2018, 08:46:56 AM: In all seriousness though, if you think about it some of those tunes won't lend themselves to a hushed atmosphere.
I was listening to NBTS yesterday and couldn't help thinking that GREEN and TWILIGHT HOME especially would work wonderfully!

Hopefully it won't be a hushed atmosphere with everyone belting it out

Post by: Rusco on January 10, 2018, 12:03:57 PM: Ah, what about Price then? Just think about its chorus... Agreed that Brave New World piano version might be crackin' awesome.

I or Minna aren't able to join the gig, unfortunately. But as some people have mentioned it would really be very interesting to see a DVD release about the gig.

It would be curious to know how the singing of audience will be recorded? How will the audio technicians do It...
Title: Good question...

Yeah, same here. I imagine it's going to be quite challenging, new, interesting... hopefully not a chore, burden, headache. That's a lot of voices they'll be dealing with.

Rusco, hope you don't mind, I'd like to post your question in another thread. If that's not ok, let me know.

Post by: cthulhu on April 04, 2018, 04:58:29 PM: well, well, well...this is not so easy to decide. but just because i'm always also thinking about if the song is good with minimal instrumentation and if its a good song for the event, etc...
but that is definately way too much thought. so here is my list:

- drag it down (a good one to sing in a church, i guess)
- white light ("out in the su hu hun...")
- ballad of bodmin pill (a must!)
- long goodbye ("straight on for the days ahead..." maybe a bit of a personal choice at this moment)
- orange tree roads
- heroes ("we are not children anymore..")
- 51st state (c'mon. we HAVE to sing this! we are prepared to do this!!)
- snelsmore wood ("these are the days that we'll recall...")
- bloodsports ("screaming loud i am not at war..")
- the charge ("on, on on...")
- 225
- aimless desire

and sooo many more..

You must have been happy ! 😁 and that was an amazing moment, the song worked really really well.

Seems we were not a lot of French there (even less Moroccan I assume 😉)
