Graeme Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Tonight I uploaded a cover of Trains by Porcupine Tree to YouTube, it's been a constant favourite of mine for many years and I had originally uploaded a version of it back in 2009. I definitely feel way older , but I think I might be better at some of the subtleties of the song now, and it's really weird to hear how I instinctively removed my accent from my singing when I was younger. A friend of mine pointed out how absurd it is that most Scottish people try to sound like Americans or English people when we sing, and ever since then I've tried to embrace my own accent in my singing, so my old singing sounds really fake or put on to me now. Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy at least one of the renditions... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the vocals remind me a little of Deep Blue Something and to a lesser degree Travis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundOfAGun Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Definitely prefer the second performance, the playing is more dynamic and your vocals are much more confident. I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
