      I'm too young to know anything about that era of music (I was born the year this song came out), but Rick Astley has said in interviews that he used to sing in a choir, which is probably a much better and more direct explanation for his vocals. Since usually, if you sing in a choir, you learn at least the rudiments of using your breath properly, and how to project your voice even without a microphone.

That’s all him engineer the records the only thing he didn’t do as the mixing in mastering. But drums bass guitar piano keyboard trumpet saxophone violin… Everything that’s on those records he played himself. Wanted to prove to people that he wasn’t just “a voice from the 80s”. and the songs on those records are fucking solid🙌🏻👍🏻❤️

      @@Junuxx Can You Kick the Knee in MMA?
      It varies from state to state. Some states allow it, others rules that such linear kicks to the front of side of an opponent’s knee will result in a warning and a deduction of points from the referee.
      A severe kicking to a kneecap can do serious damage to your opponent - along the lines of stretched tendons and ruptured ligaments and joints. They could cripple a fighter and they may never be the same again - which means that, truthfully, there isn’t a lot of honour in inflicting such a world of pain on someone in this way.
      ‘Knee stomping’, also known as an oblique kick, is currently legal in the UFC, though. This is where a fighter hits part of their opponent’s thigh just above the knee, which could hyperextend it and cause anterior cruciate and medical collateral ligament damage.
      Darren Till injured his right knee after falling victim to a Robert Whittaker knee stomp at UFC Fight Island 3 in July 2020.

    I love how Dave has always been a true musician and artist always accepting other musical genres. Rick still looks 1987.

    It's a mashup with smells like teen spirit too. It's got the intro fill, the same rhythm, the same melodic lead in the verses that build up to the chorus, also with the chorus vocal being used as a guitar solo. That's a really interesting choice to make.

      if you watch some of the interviews with DG about this, he mentions that SLTS and NGGYU are structurally the same, so its very easy to play NGGYU like SLTS
