"One More Time"

by **Jeremey** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 5:25 am

Stephen (Frontiers guitarist) and myself have worked this up for a future Frontiers show. Since he'll be in Roanoke tonight before we leave in the morning, maybe I can convince him to demo a little piece for our website before we go. This is one of my all time favorites, though it's sooo melancholy. I remember hearing it back in 1994 and just feeling sad for all the things it seemed like Steve Perry had missed out on in his life, and the regrets he seemingly conveyed in that tune.

That would be great Jeremy.

Can't wait to hear it.

That would be awesome! Please post it here if you get it recorded.

Thanks for posting! We did do a little verse of the tune, which is on my mac at home. If I can get it online I'll share it this week. What actually ended up happening was quite more productive, though, as we wrote and demo'd a pretty complete original tune, albeit with nonsense lyrics for the melody. That will be something cool when we finish that up!

I'm wondering about the "nonsense lyrics" part.

So reflective, filled with emotion. Love this song.

That's just when trying to get a melody down, you're going to be singing stream of conscious type stuff, which will be replaced later with actual words that make sense!

Although many, many times you'll get a few gems out of that nonsense stuff that will be polished up a bit and may end up in the finished song.

Well now that you've gone and done that, there's no way I can post our little 60 second one take clip!

:shock:

by **Jeremey** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 4:28 pm

Okay, be gentle, as you have gone and posted something that can never be touched there on that YouTube clip!!

Anyway, this was just Stephen and I messing around with the song...As I said, we moved onto an original tune after not getting much further than the first verse....And the quality isn't that great. But we should start playing this tune at some of the "big" shows this fall.

Oh yeah....We also did a reggae version of "Lights" which will never be heard! :lol:

Anyway, you can find the OMT demo on our reverb nation page at www.reverbnation.com/journeytributeband and it's in the playlist section of the page. Hope you like it!

There's no denying you're a great singer man. This was excellent.

Thanks Rick, hope you are able and willing to make it to a show sometime. Have a great week!

Jeremey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take anything away from your clip. I've never heard you sing before.
So, I went to the link for a listen. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm blown away at how you sing those Journey songs.
From time to time I saw posts on MR about Frontiers, but never really ventured into reading too much. I'm so
glad that I got curious enough this time, to finally check you out. You are AMAZING! :shock:

That's coming from a true
blue Perry fan. I cannot imagine why Journey would pick Arnel when you have that voice! WTF? You even
look a little like Perry does now, and that is a compliment. Your voice sounds so much like Perry, it's uncanny. I never
thought I would be able to say that about any tribute singer, but I'm very impressed.
Thanks for posting the link. I'm definitely one of your fans now!

Actually it's good that you posted that link. It gives people a chance to hear how similar their vocal tones are. It is pretty amazing.

Wow. That's friggin' amazing, Jeremey.

Not sure how you feel about it, but when I listen to Journey now, it actually pisses me off that you aren't the lead singer of that band. It would have been the perfect fit.

Hopefully it all worked out for the better for you. You can definetely sing your ass off.
I've GOT to see you guys live sometime. Don't know if it matters to you, but I plan on seeing you guys way before I'd see Journey.

Who the hell knows?

Wrong choice.

by **Jeremey** » Wed Aug 19, 2009 7:35 am

Well thanks a bunch for taking a listen to it! As I mentioned, we'll be doing this somewhere in the Frontiers repetoire sometime in the next couple of months (when we are not playing for college kids who want to hear uh...ONE song and ONE particular song only), so hope to see some of you out there on the road. It's always been one of my favorites, and I'm excited about doing that one live.

by **Marabelle** » Thu Aug 20, 2009 12:48 am

Goodness Jeremey you really do justice to the tune! You are as close as close can be.
Artist are such strange characters which we as fans like to dissect over and over again until they fit into the character we'd like them to be; I think your voice is changing a bit and so is your precious heart. Don't get lost! You have a glorious gift!

I tryed to tell you just how good he was. :wink:

Now you believe me. :lol:

You have to see him he is so close to Perry that it's not funny.

I am a fan and that will not change :wink:

Jeremey love the way you sing the song would love to hear you sing it. :wink:

I'm quite impressed and maybe will make it to the October 10th concert in Nashville if I don't have a hearing or court date. :wink:

If you can make it go and enjoy yourself. :wink:

Then come back and tell everyone about it :wink:

Yah..it's amazing just how good JH can sing, and the only on going fault(s) that my ears hear is the "Cher effect" and "granny vibrato", if he could turn down that strong vibrato his voice would sound much more youthful. Everytime I hear that vibrato, it just makes me think of the "vegas / show tune" voice too much. But you correct those two issues and I honestly feel he has one of the best voices I've heard in my lifetime.

Well then I guess you're saying the same thing about SP, because Jeremey's vibrato is almost exactly like Perry's.

I think you're 100% WRONG about your theory, but if you do think it, you're saying it about SP also.

by **texafana** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 11:29 pm

The biggest differences between JH and SP's vibrato is "depth". Both have similar speeds, but JH's "depth" is wayyyyy too much. Plus JH sometimes uses it on every word in a phrase and it should only be used on the end of a phrase. But again, that doesn't bother me as much as the depth. If/when I have time perhaps I'll splice together some audio of JH/SP to better illustrate my point.

You are awesome on this -

I cannot help to think what Neal and Co missed out on.

I agree as well.They sure missed out on you Jeremey.I would have gone to the concert with you as the singer.

Jeremey, you've been getting a lot of bad press here at MR lately & so I wasn't even going to bother clicking on your link & listening to your music, but I did anyway & OMG I can't believe what I just heard. You have a fantastic voice, bro!!!! I have nothing against Arnel b/c he is talented in his own right, but Neal must have been crazy to pass up the opportunity of signing you. That's saying a lot coming from ME b/c Neal is like a God to me. I love the guy but he was so, SO wrong about letting you get away. I don't know anything about your history or any drama that's been played out on this board, but, Jeremey, one thing is for sure: Your voice is awesome, dude!!!!

by **Jeremey** » Sat Aug 22, 2009 12:26 pm

Wow, just checking in while on the road this week. Nice compliments, and they are much appreciated. Thanks so much, and TNFA, I do appreciate it; I'm not too dialed in on changing up my voice or my vibrato, but there is a character to all voices that makes it uniquely what it is, and despite the similarities to Perry and myself, there's always going to be those elements that comprise my voice that are unique....I can't change that much what God gave me, but I understand your point, and appreciate the compliment.

Jason, thanks for checking it out. The "bad press" on this board has nothing to do with who I am as a person or as a singer - It's only an online identity that few know who I am, have met me, or spent any time with me, although I live and breathe Journey music nearly every day of my life. My opinion is that I'm an easy target, and I guess anyone can have an agenda or a reason to get bent out of shape, but I do respond to outright jabs, I can be mean, irreverent, and nasty as anyone else on this board, and I will stand up for myself, though some think I should be held to a higher standard. Regardless, it's only music, and as I've said many times before, those that would prevent themselves from enjoying our presentation of these songs due to something completely unrelated to who I am or what I do are just missing out.

Regardless, thanks to all for clicking the link, and be sure to check out the live version if we come anywhere close!

Have a great weekend,
J
