When was the last time you sang

Akrasia

I'm old.

Damn old

Ok I'm 33 ( I think, 09.03.1983, can someone work that out please?)

I remember being a kid and music was one of the most important things in my life.

When I was a youngster I used to sing every single day. Not because I was a happy young person. But because music was so important to me.

The soundtrack of our lives is not just a relatively obscure Swedish rock band, it's something much more deeply ingrained in our idea of who we are.

I used to sing every day, loudly, to myself and to others. Walking home from the pub at night I used to sing Bell x 1 songs out loud in the crisp December Dublin air.

When I had my first born child, I sang him to sleep every night. And my second born chid, my first daughter. There are few experiences that are more moving than soothing a crying child to sleep by singing acoustic interpretations of David Bowie and Radiohead.

Long story short. When was the last time you sang???

Do you like singing?

Akrasia

just one side note, the band 'soundtrack of our lives' are pretty damn good.

Listen to them.

Croke Park.... Seo libh canaídh amhrán na bhfiann

Angry_Mammarys

Sunday night in the pub after about 60 vodkas. Really wish there was no such thing as camera phones:(

Titzon Toast

I sing all day, every day.
I walk around with my earphones in shuffling a few thousand songs, hail, rain or shine, for better or worse!

Aglomerado

20 minutes ago in the shower belting out my repertoire of jazz numbers!!!

Berserker

Taylor Swift in the car this morning. Myself and my OH were in a good mood, so when sang it when we were en route to work.

The Backwards Man

I'm singing as I type

Rothko

I hope you're not singing Exit Music (For A Film) to your children as they go to sleep.

The last time I sang was probably yesterday or the day before. It's usually just quietly to myself as I don't have a good voice.

I drive to work.

that's 30 mins every day I spend giving it the full gun. les mis, nat king Cole, lukey Kelly, eagles, Robert Johnson, any and everything.

always sung, I'd say never a day of my life has passed I didn't spend some of it singing

Triceratops Ballet

Every day! Love being in the house alone so I can belt!

Ps. OP you're 32!!

Miss Demeanour

I love to sing....sing all day every day.....
Usually people ask me to sing "Far away" for some reason......
I'm not familiar with that particular song though!?.........

Chain Smoker

I doubt I've sincerely tried to sing without a layer of irony bolted on, even by myself, since I was about 6. Few things horrify me on such a direct level as the idea of being confronted with the sound of my voice singing.

fineso.mom

Bout an hour ago. On the way home after picking my teenage son and his friend up from a match. Patsy Cline -lovesick blues......He wasn't impressed. But its my job as a parent to embarass my kids.😀

Stheno

I sing all the time, and used sing solo in a choir when I was a teen.

then I joined a proper choir with alto/tenor/bass/soprano.

Want to join a new choir, but I have to audition, and I'm paranoid now about singing on my own so am going to have a couple of lessons to get some confidence back

Have not sang since the towers fell.

Today. I know this'll piss off some of you, but I've had God Save the Queen caught in my head all day, having watched this trailer earlier:

kfallon

In the shower, singing to The Stone Roses "This Is The One".....even more apt that I had me flute in me hand at the time

Junkyard Tom

I'm more of a whistler.

Dolbert

I sing every damn day. Well I have to amuse myself somehow.

P.S. How do you not know how old you are?

biko

A few hours ago alone in my car.
I have a beautiful voice, if I may say so myself..

Simon Cow, call me?

But I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day?

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

If I'm on my own I'm either singing or talking to myself. Usually adapting songs to specific situations. Trying to find my phone and it's 'Where Is My Phone' by Pixies. Hand-washing calls for 'Soooap and the Water (don't get it in your ey-ees)' by Deep Purple. Miss a bus, Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs ("Wait! They don't love you like I love you!")

Saturday night last, I sang for 2 hours to a full house of drunk rugby players and their friends.. they danced all night. In fairness though, I wasn't the lead vocal.. I do the harmonies.

I'd love to be in a band doing backing vocals, how do you go about it?

FanadMan

Every day. Sing when cooking, in the shower, out for a walk etc. Thankfully I live in the middle of nowhere

practice singing the harmonies to a few tunes on youtube, then maybe join a choir so you can get used to singing with other people which will build your confidence and improve your voice.. then get yourself a middling microphone, lead and stand.. and if you know and bands that are doing the circuit, stand in for half an hour some night to see how it goes.

It is also a help if you play an instrument, and if you dont, grab a shaker or tambourine.

Menas

I would love to have a good voice as I do like singing. But I dont and my singing scares people.

PirateShampoo

I've been singing Peppa bloody Pig all morning to my daughter.

The theme tune or the' Bing bong boo' song? This matters!

BUBBLES1978

belted out pearl jams Jeremy on the way to work in the car....sing every morning when i'm driving to work to wake me up!!

Shenshen

When they forced me to, in music lesson at school.
I really, really don't like singing. Never have, never will.

snowgal

Love singing! By myself though usually..Once I put on my ipod to clean the tunes start and I get louder and louder as Im cleaning around the house! dont think OH likes it too much but Im cleaning so he cant give out!

Medusa22

I love to sing and I sing most days when I'm on my own or if my OH is there, I won't sing in front of anyone else. Usually when I'm cooking or cleaning or showering and I just like to belt songs out. Like electro-bitch, I also adapt songs to whatever I'm doing, and make the OH laugh, or just cringe, depending

NachoBusiness

Was half singing just there as I was reading the thread titles. Phil Collins, Take Me Home.

Hey, don't blame me, it was on someone's car radio as they drove past.

Take, take me home, cause I don't remember... ha, now it's in your head too!

Antar Bolaeisk

Singing right now, Tracks of my Tears.

Ruu

Singing along to King of Rock and Roll at the moment. Hum most of it though.

sadie06

I sing nearly all day every day. No joke….

_Kaiser_

... only when the stereo is up loud enough that I can't hear myself But actually usually in the car during my morning/evening commute.

My 3 year old little fella though has gotten pretty good at singing along to this...
