Smile An A Cappella Cover - "Want" by Birdtalker

Hi y'all,

This is an a cappella track (sorry, no guitar!), but it's a song I've always loved and always wanted to record with my own vocals. The lyrics are incredibly meaningful to me as well.

"Want" by Birdtalker

Lauren

Lauren, you don’t need any instruments to get in the way of your voice. Simply breathtaking.

You sing like a beautiful bird Lauren!

Haven’t heard anything from you in a while.

Looking forward to hearing more!

You sound so good, Lauren! And I really love the sound at 1:34 where you bring in the third harmony part ("I want to have eyes of love...").

Thanks for sharing this recording and your voice. There is nothing that leaves a singer more vulnerable than a cappella singing, but you have such a beautiful, warm, melodic voice that there is no risk at all.

What a pleasure listening to you! Well done!

- Glenn

Wow! That was sooo beautiful. No instrumentation needed. In fact, after listening to that, it would be a distraction. I’ve mentioned to you before that if you’re not famous, you should be...you’re that good. Thanks for sharing.
