Nice recording! I've been wondering how it would sound with "I'll" rather than the original (but very obsolete) "chill." The playful, percussive "ch" bouncing between the voices is delightful, but the word itself sounds so odd, even if you know what it means. I'm still unsure which way I'll propose to do it when I bring it my singing buddies, but now I can make a more informed choice. Thanks for sharing this great performance!
Thanks. Yes I think authenticity is great for a specific context of an muso audience that may care or appreciate it. But more generally effective communication of the meaning of the text is king and chill is simply not intelligible to a general modern audience. So my choice for this was I’ll for that reason.
