- Kenny Peters Music presents..."The More We Try" - originally off of Kenny Loggins' "High Adventure" album, this is a song I never thought I'd get to record for a couple of reasons. It wasn't a single release, and pretty non-commercial so the likelihood of ever finding a track to it, especially a good one as it's highly orchestrated, was pretty low. But then I found one, and while it's quite good, the song itself is extremely challenging. During this period of time, Mr. Loggins was commonly using his sky-high falsetto and this one puts it to the test for sure. I have never really used a falsetto much and the control to pull it off softly is hella hard. This is my 3rd take on it and I may end up re-doing it later on. It's funny; you go years and years "singing along" to a track you like on an album but then when you get the chance to actually sing it - just you & the music - it's a brand new monster.
This is a beautiful but sad ballad that Kenny Loggins is so good at writing; one of his finest non-hits. I hope you enjoy and appreciate the effort that went into getting this as "right" as I could.
This is best cover I think. Thanks. :)
Thank you for that - it's a beautiful song and one of my all-time favorites. It was difficult to record.
Out of this world your version...as much as this song is hard to sing you do it justice.A such underrated singer and song...Kenny and you as well!!...
You have no idea how much a compliment like that means to me on a song like this. Such a beautifully written song and you're right, it is very hard to sing. I almost pulled it after posting because I wasn't sure it was good enough to stay up - and I'm glad I didn't. It's one of my all time favorite songs from an equally wonderful album, and I'm glad to know it's been heard. Thank you again!
I just have to tell you I listened to this recording again this morning, and now, having also covered "Only A Miracle" from the same album - another of my bucket list songs and all time favorites - I was re-touched by your so very kind comment and just wanted to tell you again, "Thank you". I've been kind of down & out in the last few months, and reading that kindness again really invigorated me this Monday morning. Have a blessed week & rest of the year!
You re so welcomed...i said only what i honestly feel.Btw i tried as well this song..i have no clue how it sounds but at least i tried lol Will check the other song you mentioned and thank you for that.Did you know The more we try is one in only 2 most fav ballads of..Richard Marx?? thanks to him i found this masterpiece..
@@ConstantinCatalin I did not know that about Richard Marx who is another favorite of mine. I covered " Should've Known Better" on my page also. Thanks for that tidbit of info and again, the wonderful compliment!
Wow! Well done!
