Idumea [Recording in a Thunderstorm — DSound Exclusive]

in #dsound7 years ago (edited)



Listen carefully to the background. The rain was pelting the roof, and there's even a bit of thunder.

Idumea (or "And Am I Born to Die" is an old Appalachian hymn that I'm singing a cappella here. I think the melody is haunting, and the lyrics are quite chilling. I sang this at some rallies over the years, and in contexts that aren't necessarily common for a tune like this.

I also recorded a version of it on my record Stolen Shack, where I was accompanied by a bowed double bass. This version is just me, alone in my office, to a Blue Yeti mic.

We are alive.

Awesome song with the water drops on the roof would be cool to have a jam session with you and my brother who is a good singer not like me lol.

It would be great! Sounds like you have a whole family of musicians :)

Yeah, the night I recorded this was really awesome. At first, I was a tiny bit frustrated because of the rain, and then I listened back to it and was pretty amazed :)

Yes my uncle made us all to musicians lol but not my sister :)
I love the rain it's giving the song something very special I tell you your voice is so cool if ever in the future you are in San Diego let me know and we jam :)
