Björk - National Theatre, Reykjavík (full concert - pro-shot) (1999) karaoke version
A simple way into the karaoke version when you want the arrangement to stay familiar and the lead vocal to step aside.
About this version
Sometimes you do not need a big setup. You just need the song without the lead and a straight path into rehearsal.
Useful for
singing practice at home
Useful for
cover rehearsals
Useful for
working on phrasing before a full take
A simple way in
A cleaner backing track for singing, rehearsal, and covers when you want the song to stay familiar but the lead vocal to step aside.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
Notes
Björk's full set from the National Theatre, Reykjavík, on 6 January 1999. If you like this, support Björk by seeing her live, buying her official live and studio recordings, and visiting bjork.com. This is for nonprofit, educational purposes only. I don't own the copyright. This was originally shown on Icelandic television. All tracks from this set are already on YouTube, but I thought it would be a treat to have the entire set as a single video. Thanks to BjörkFTP for the recording, which is also available on dimeadozen.org as 'No Place Like Home'.
