Tomorrow I Will Die

[DeadBeatPeter]

The battle of the bands is tomorrow, and I'm sooooooooo nervous. I mean, my heart's being weird. Me and my pianist have been practicing pretty hard, maybe too hard and that's the problem. But I know I'll be shaky went I'm up there, everyone staring at me, and me at that microphone. Ahhhh...stage fright.

Maybe I'll have a few drinks beforehand?

so what if you screw up and die in the process.. don't flippin worry so much. You'd be crap without nerves anyway. have a drink after- you deserve it then!:dance:

Just do it.©

I figure I'll just take my time inbetween songs and during songs. Try to relax, maybe have a little banter between each song to calm my nerves. At least the pianist gets to hide behind his piano and not sing too. Damnit.

But I figure I need to do this, I have the hunger. How many people in their lives can say that perform music they wrote for a crowd of people, it's something to look back on, ya know.

Oh I definately have a drink afterwards, if I don't passout.

just take it, if nothing else, as a learning experience. Looking at it that way, you'll feel much calmer from the start; and it is probably more positive in the long run too

Maybe it's just because it seems to me like singing should be more natural, but I always thought that'd be an easier thing to do. I play a lot of piano. I'll cut you a deal, I stop thinking it's easy to sing, and you convince yourself that the piano player is probably going to have a hell of a time doing his job too.

Yeah, he'll have his work cut out for him. About singing, it's just I'm not used to singing into a microphone, it'll just be something I'll gave to get accustomed to within like the first thirty seconds. I just wanna go in there all psyched out and pumped up and just do it, man. But the time leading up to it is so nerve-wrecking.

Wha?

Nah dude, don't drink beforehand. The first show I ever played I used that rational and it was a bad idea. All I remember is it being hard to sing because my voice was horse. The next memory is waking up in my bed with my shoes still on and 30 bucks in my pocket. I must not have done too bad I guess. Either that or I robbed a hobo on the way home. Anyways, just relax, and if you look off at the back of the venue it looks like your looking at the audience without actually looking at them. Just don't look at the microphone, to the casual observer it looks like you have your eyes shut then.

what if the roof caves in and kills everyone but you?

I know it's not singing but that's what I do when I have to do orals and shit. Good luck anyway, I think it's great you're doing something you're going to enjoy!
