Stupid Pride (acapella version) by Haltia. Orh/Redler original

[Redler]

Hi all!

Me and James recorded the original version in 2011. You can hear it here:
https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=11053.0

This was fun to do, although we struggled with it a lot! So many voices and too much clipping. So, yesterday we decided start a new project and re-record the song. I set the mic sensitivity a bit lower etc...

This is what it is as James says

Thanks for listening!

Three tracks of lead / backing vocals by Ella(Päivi)
Three  tracks of bass voice, egg shaker and beatbox voice by Redler(Kari)
Lyrics written by orh
Song composed by Kari
Recorded on BR-80
Mixed on Audacity

Close your eyes
And wish your wishes
Take ten paces
Hope he misses

Steady hands
And hold your ground
Or you're the one
That's going down

So make it count
And make it quick
And make sure
That you're accurate

You only get
One single chance
So make sure
That it's not your last dance

How did you ever get here
Just you and your stupid pride
Why should it even matter
No one cares about your stupid pride

Won't back down
Or let it lie
Off into a rage
You fly

Making mountains
Out of molehills
Retribution
Overkill

It's all in your
Imagination
But you still want
Some reparation

And pride it comes
A'fore a fall
We seen it coming
All along

How did you ever get here
Just you and your stupid pride
Why should it even matter
No one cares about your stupid pride

Close your eyes
And wish your wishes
Take ten paces
Hope he misses

Steady hands
And hold your ground
Or you're the one
That's going down

So make it count
And make it quick
And make sure
That you're accurate

And pride it comes
Before a fall
We seen it coming
All along

How did you ever get here
Just you and your stupid pride
Why should it even matter
No one cares about your stupid pride

How did you ever get here
It's just you and your stupid pride
Why should it even matter
No one cares about your stupid pride

Making mountains
Out of molehills
Retribution
Overkill

Absolutely fantastic! Kari you held down the rhythm & bass in great fashion over Ella's superb melodies and lead vocal. Super acapella version of ORH's excellent lyrics.
