    We were listening to this song when I realized I was in love with the girl I was listening with. A few months later Ben Rector played at our university and we sent together and afterward we decided to start dating. We got married a year ago and we are going to see him live in April.

      The vocal track has several layers of echo as well as overdubbing in a few places. It was not "soaked in" autotuning.

I played it three times in a row. Thanks for the music!❤

    • @user-eb1lq1zx7v
      @user-eb1lq1zx7v 7 лет назад +1

      I think he is a great singer as well . However, I do want to make it known that auto tune is also used lived these days . So he could be using it then as well . I don't fault anyone for it . I use it as well . The way it works out is .. if you are a terrible singer and you use auto tune , you can really tell it's there ( like T-pain) .. But if you are a good singer it isnt noticeable . Since you can barely tell it is being used here, I'd say that gives more proof that he IS a good singer .

    • @semiophile
      @semiophile 7 лет назад +4

      From his singing, it's most likely that his voice wasn't modulated. I think it's because his tone is very clean, and he's got voice great control, so it might lead a few people to think it might be autotuned. If Dolly Parton were to release her songs today, there'd probably be people who would think that she was autotuned as well.

    • @JohnLaco
      @JohnLaco 7 лет назад +1

      Ben is a phenomenal singer, he doesn't need autotune whatsoever. But this track 100% has it all over his vocals. You can hear the "silkiness" in the longer notes he's holding. That is the autotune turning all the fluctuations from the natural human voice into one continuous note. I wish it didn't have autotune, cause I know it would sound equally as good. But the nature of production these days is to put it on as a safe haven, and to enhance the vocals that extra "little" bit

    • @motodude7239
      @motodude7239 6 лет назад +1

      Every single artist that has songs on the radio uses autotune or a version of it. Mariah Carey Adele all the way down to Ben Rector. If you dont believe me
      watch the video "story behind men who drive me places performance" and you'll hear his raw unedited dry vocal track. If you dont hear the difference then you have
      a terrible ear for music and thats ok. Ben Rector is a GREAT singer. Good or bad though they all use autotune and its no exception in this video. I can hear it as soon as 11 seconds in on this song when he sings the word "hour".

    [Intro] (Spoken)
    We're back, can you believe it?
    Hey I, I, I mean this wholeheartedly
    I do say this every night, but tonight I wholeheartedly mean it
    I really had a good time playing for you guys, I know the band did too
    So I've been told you're not supposed to end on a cover
    Uh, and I'm not too worried about that so we're gonna do it anyways
    Thank you guys
    [Verse 1]
    Clock strikes upon the hour
    And the sun begins to fade
    Still enough time to figure out
    How to chase my blues away
    I've been alright up till now
    It's the light of day that's shown me how
    And when the night falls, my lonely heart calls (here we go)
    [Chorus]
    Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
    I wanna feel the heat with somebody
    Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
    With somebody who loves me (yeah)
    [Verse 2]
    I've been in love, lost my senses
    Spinning through the town
    Sooner or later the fever ends
    And I wind up feeling down
    I need someone who'll take a chance
    On a love that burns hot enough to last
    And when the night falls, my lonely heart calls

    Ben Rector besticht mit seiner ausgeprägt stimmlichen Vielfalt. Die einzelnen Farbnuancen wechseln sich harmonisch ineinanderfügend ab, so dass es eine Freude ist, seinem Vortrag zu lauschen. Die Musikinstrumente, die er beherrscht, versetzt einen in großes Staunen.
    Daumen hoch - ein gelungener Auftritt!!
