      ​@12 Feet Up he had vocal surgery TWICE in the span of 3 years due to a tumor growing in his vocal chords.
      He was unable to speak let alone sing for MONTHS, even considering quitting being a singer/songwriter and becoming a simple session musician, glad he overcame it
      All and all, he still lost his upper vocal range due to the effects of the surgery (and aging too, he was never a tenor in the first place) but his lower bass notes have become more defined

    If he plays YGLFIM I'm going to cry, a lot. It's the song that breaks me down to bits. In a very sad but also beautiful way, I discovered this song after my wife and I lost our first pregnancy. Everytime I listen to this it brings me down to tears, it reminds me of how broken we were, but much more important: ultimately life finds a way. We now have a beatiful 8 month old daughter.

      Dude, wow! Are we perhaps living the same life without even knowing each other and in a total different country? You described my situation pretty mich to the point! Only that in my case she's not my wife (yet). We lost our 1st pregnancy some years ago, we were still students, both lost a parent around the same time... things were really rough.
      Fast forward 10 years later, we got our beautiful girl, and she's 8 month old as well.
      While things are still not how we would like it to be, it's better than before. Life do find a way.
      Fight on, fighter! 💪🏾

      you can play 99% of pop songs nowadays in a random four chord progression, even though it’s not the original progression, as long as you transpose every song to the same key.
      maybe even keep the same tempo throughout a medley of them, but you will definitely sing some slower or faster 😅
      the exceptions to this are usually songs that have key changes, have a time signature other than 4/4, or have just enough i guess jazz elements (like more complex chords/chord patterns) to make it unique enough.
