I have recorded some of my Hi; I really like this song, and I have to agree the singer seems to be repressed, but its perfect for this melody. Maybe if I understood the lyrics Id think different, but the whole song feels sad and repressed like communist east europe or something;) The only part I dont like is where the singer speaks a word. It throws off the lyrical aspect. She should remain plaintive. Paul set@xxxxxxxxx > son's friends bands and almost without exception the "singers" think > that falsetto is their normal singing voice.
