Sneak Peek: Chariot

Working on a song on a certain theme (secret!) and as part of it we are reacreating some parts of songs. Here's my recreation of the chorus of Gavin Degraw's "Chariot". It's crazy how something like this can be recreated so closely just in the computer now, you don't really have to record anything if you know what you're doing, while back when it came out they needed to work in studios and spend a lot of time on having session musicians etc. It's sad in a way, but it's also cool to see how far technology has come! Hope you like!

I absolutely love it

Tasha Wright

Oh no. I was so excited about Joel noticing me/my comment, that I excitedly posted the screenshot to my own patrons, and now I had to go through the harrowing experience of explaining to a guy in his 50s or 60s internet speak and anime memes. Pray for me and my dumb ass. (also because the premise of the original comment also leads to the conclusion that I am, in fact, a dumbass)

As a model who oftentimes works in a photography-instructional setting and also likes to pay attention to the camera talk in all settings, I've never met a photographer who even bothered with automatic settings, so, yeah, you're very right. Also on that note thank the gods for photo-editing software and my time and practice with it because I'd never have been as successful without it, lol. "Good to look at" is just as valid as "authentic".

I think it’s the same as photography. Anyone with a camera with ‘automatic’ settings can take and publish pictures now, but it still takes practise and a bit of talent to make something that really touches you or others. To be honest, I find myself overwhelmed by all the possibilities in music now. I used to be way more creative as a kid, using whatever I had at hand somehow.

🥰☺️

Holly Baker

Lol I was so confused 😂

Sarah Faire

Oh no I sang it lmao sry just no instruments

Joel Berghult

(It feels like a very fun exercise to do, to enhance my mixing skills in music. thx for the idea ^^)

Pouet

The mix in your version is more pleasant to my ears, more defined :)

Pouet

I always LOVED this song and got to see Gavin live before. Your voice is amazing with it 🙌 It is amazing knowing how far technology has come but you’re right, also sad that musicians don’t need to be utilized in a way they once were.

Becky Lorion

GAVIN! 😍😍😍 Ugh it's been a hot minute since I saw him live last but MY GOD he's just the best! I miss the Chariot era of music.

Sofie G

Oh your voice fits really well here. I'm all pumped up for all those secrets, teasers etc. You're giving us recently 🤩🔥

Magdalena Slodczyk

That sounds great. Really curious now about the project. How long did it take you to make this?

Dorie

I absolutely love these kinds of things, different sounds, tones, loving the way that you're experiencing with it! :)

CK DeP

Wait, there was no actual singing involved in making this? What?

Sarah Faire

I think having tech advancements is a great thing, but I feel it is important to still preserve the "traditions" of the past

thewelshwitch

That really suits your voice, is this classed as country pop? There's something about the natural quirks of live instrument playing that can make a track brilliant. I'm certain The Beatles, Queen and the Rolling Stones must of had many a bum note, accidental noise or random twang of a guitar string that made it into the track. It's great technology has come so far, the fact you no longer need an instrument to actually make music still makes me feel sad.

Clair (Teampanda)

Sounds good! I always love these sneak peeks, thank you 🤗

Phoebe Grint

Oh man, this cd (and song) was on constant loop senior year/freshman year of college. ❤❤❤ Excited for the video and to see more of this concept played out

Jessi

🥰🥰🥰💕

Holly Baker

This was lovely, Joel! I really enjoyed it. That was all from your computer!? That's magical. Nice backing vocals too! Were they the originals? Didn't entirely sound like you.

Jessistache_73

Vair nice!

Heather Strong

All the tarot references in it thooooo

Mari

Great job 🙋🏻‍♀️🎉 I feel like every year your voice just keeps getting BETTER! So awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻

Aubrey Danielle

It's like the music equivalent of digital drawing and such. It's all amazing to me tbh. Over here with ZERO talents. Lol

Dannielle O'Neill

Sounded great regardless

Beth Sarber

I'm excited to see what you're working on. Sounds super interesting. And ofc, always love hearing your voice. Thanks for sharing.

Dannielle O'Neill

This! All forms of art needs to be more accessible to the public I think. Don't get me started on the cost of professional grade art supplies, let alone software/equipment needed to do what Joel does to begin with. Making money as an artist is a true struggle.

Mari

I just looked up the meaning of this song. That’s nice :) I agree tho. It is sad in a way bc you almost can’t tell the difference. Why secrets?!?!

Shauna

this one is kinda special/weird and out of the ordinary lol. So it's not representative

Joel Berghult

It sounds amazing, fits your voice very well.

Maj Jen

I had forgotten all about this song! I’m intrigued by this video. 👀

loonylovesgood

So, maybe sad in that it will definitely make some feel less inclined to even bother, but I think there will always be people who want to go that route. It's cool because we can have BOTH.

Dannielle O'Neill

chief, it seems we have located “it”

Laurel Pekarske

No impressions right now! But I guess this might count whoops

Joel Berghult

Awesome! 🥰

Jade Ballengee

I think having new ways to go about anything is awesome for a lot of reasons...one of which is that it can allow for people who might not have the ability or whatever to make art. I.e. if you can't play an instrument and you want to make music that includes a variation of sounds.

Dannielle O'Neill

Sounds amazing! Love the tone!

Courtney Walker

Secrets, secrets, secrets everywhere!*sigh* I hope you like what you’re doing :)

Helga 🦊

❤️

Alle Engdahl

Love it! I think this style fits your voice well

Lany Stout

That's what I was talking about last time! It's really cool to have the technology to do this all on your computer, but we're losing some of the rituals of music making. Good, bad, I don't know.

Sugary Magnolia

Oh! This sounds like a cool concept. Cant wait to see how things have changed with the development of technology… it is sad.. but also allows those that have vision that didn’t think they could make something before, be able to now.. double edge sword, I guess.

Airyckah Lane

Excited to see the video this goes with. Are most of the videos going to be themed?

Cas

Your voice sounds great and it's definitely insane how you're able to recreate it so easily when there was a time when this wasn't possible. It's catch 22 in some ways.

Mari

Secret, eh??? 🧐

MediocreAtBest

Love it. Doing more impression videos or just playing with some songs?

Beth Sarber

We love it love your singing voice Joel we miss you and your Patreon lens
