by cliftoncloud
Just lil old me. Sang in a boy's choir when I was younger, did some musical theatre , and now you can find me singing with my kids in my classroom, or at home. I am revisiting my eclectic taste in music , as you can see by the huge range in styles & genres I am choosing to sing. Constructive comments are more than welcome, if you are too lazy to do so, a like tag is always nice to see too! Cheers!A few people have asked me about my name, so I thought I would say something about it here. In Sm'algyax (dialect of Tsimshian)my name is "Liimk Halaayt" which in English means "shaman's song".It is pronounced [*lii/mk/ha/*laayt] (lee-muk haa-lite)Compound composed of: liimk= song, halaayt = spiritual power/shaman/sacred dance performance

" I Want To Be With You " vocals by R. Clifton
Originally sung by Mandy Moore in the 90's, yet another recycled tune from my past. Dedicated to lost loves. This is a work in progress, as I am experimenting with a eclectic harmony backing track that works for the most part ... still not happy with it.

Good Morning Sunshine - Alex Day cover sung by R. Clifton [ Free Download ]
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS: I am working on this for an album I am recording for my one year old nephew. Using a vintage AM radio filter on one of the voice tracks to give that vintage sound, but in contrast keeping a deep bass sound on the other end.

"Let Me Go" ( Gary Barlow )- cover version sung by R. Clifton
I just heard a few bars of this song when my youtube was autoplaying, which is normally annoying, but I'm glad it brought me to this song. Gary Barlow is full of energy, and life in this music video, not only did it make me want to dance, but also record it myself and do it "clifton-style."

"With You" from the Broadway Musical Pippin - vocals - Robert Clifton
I heard this track as a kid back in the 70s and thought it was beautiful poetry set to music. I think its one of the greatest love songs written for the stage! In order to get through it I have to sing beyond my range, so here comes my attempt at falsetto (crack,crack,ahem!) Yikes. Lyrics are…

Hold My Hand cover version sung by R. Clifton
Hold My Hand originally by Jess Glynne. From all the old standards I sing, and broadway selections I thought it was time to try my hand at a new style (every pun intended). *** I know I need to clean up the backing track BASS...started with a muddy version to sing to. Will find a better one and...

Waterfalls - Cover version of TLC's version sung by R. Clifton
Another one of my multi-harmony, multi-layed tunes. However I need someone to record the section of rap for me because I am oh so not skilled in that department, I stuck it in for a laugh, as proof that my tongue can't handle those rhymes! This was one of my favourite tracks from the 1990's that...

Let Me Go - Heaven 17 cover sung by R.Clifton
Retro ridiculousness. Loved dancing to this one at The Zone or Heaven ... one of my favourite songs when I was angst-filled teen comes back to haunt me as I near closer to becoming a angst-filled half century old lad (in heart and mind...certainly not body!)
