Vocal Coach Reacts - "Could You Be Messiah" Morissette

hi this is sage of the stage i'm a vocal coach and a musician well to be more accurate i'm actually a vocal professor i have a master's degree in solo singing but you know i'm never going to put vocal professor in the title of my youtube video because i don't think youtube algorithm is very fond of wording it like that and sometimes you just have to play their game anyway today i'm going to analyze listen and react to performance that was really requested in one of my latest posts when i asked you uh which performance would you like me to check out next and you really want me to check out more sets performance of a song called could you be messiah now i think i've read somewhere that this is gary valenciano song not completely sure about that but i think i think that's true anyway i don't know anything about the song obviously it could be a worship song and as catholic i believe i'm going to enjoy that but other than that i don't know anything about the song before we get into it i just want to say a quick thanks to everybody that's watching my videos whenever i post them especially my morrissette videos because that's why you're here today i've been doing these reaction videos for more than a year now you've been watching them all the time and i don't ask too much in return but if you could and you would like to support the making of my future videos consider becoming a part of my patreon page that's where everything is happening you get entitled to some awesome perks like seeing the videos for anybody else like having your names at the end credits of my videos just a bunch of amazing perks depending on the tier that you choose even the small sport means so much in the end and i'm always too grateful for everybody that choose to support thank for everybody that's already doing that there are 13 of you and you know somebody might say that's not a big number but trust me those people are like this huge in my eyes they are just amazing and i know that it's kind of weird supporting a stranger that you've never met but think about it like this we've been doing this for about a year now more than a year i think it's fair to say that you know more about me than i know about you anyway check it out there will be a link in the description and at the end of this video but for now let's go check this video out together original music arrangement gary valenciana okay lyrics freddie santos so just scent pads [Music] feels meditative already [Music] to a mind of confusion tell me what does [Music] in this and chance can you set my spirit faith oh and just one more question yeah that's definitely gary's way of singing [Music] could you be [Music] i don't know if you can see this let me just i don't want to mess up the folks on my camera because i don't want to deal with that later i mean i gotta tell you that before i started doing these reactions i didn't really get goosebumps that much in my life i mean yes i've gotten them a couple of times but never this much and you can you can't see this in every video that i do i usually get goosebumps when i'm listening to more set when i'm listening to dimash when i'm listening to these uh more emotional performances when i'm listening to a lot of fabian that that's another world but not that often i don't know what the what it means exactly i wouldn't say that that's a necessary thing to show that the singer is great but man it sure helps anyway i wanted to say this you can completely hear gary's way of you know composing uh i haven't listened to gary too much but i just know the way he's singing you know it's kind of uh always telling a story and it's not just that but he has this way of not just singing but kind of speaking and singing at the same time and more set this song fits her so much especially in the slower register where she can just basically do the same breathe the notes out and i love this little part that she does here let me just show you just listen to this part where she sings can you set my spirit free can you set my spirit it's kind of gospel can you send me can you send [Music] one more time [Music] but this part reminds me of gary so much [Music] i'm okay i think i'm going to send a song later words to my friend who happens to be a priest [Music] [Music] can you take away okay i just want to say something before i forget i'm really focusing on the lyrics this time and there's a little thing that i don't know you i don't know if you notice but i think it's really important in this kind of song because it's a worship song he doesn't say can you be a friend he says can you be friend and i think that just gives it this kind of broader meaning if you want to address god if you say oh friend i don't know in my opinion it just doesn't sound uh it sounds like a friend you have on earth you know like a buddy a pal but when you say can you be friend to me just that to me that just has a bigger a higher meaning you know a more divine meaning i don't know how to explain otherwise and he does that in a couple of places i think he's going to do that to through the rest of the song so i'm going to keep my eyes and ears open for that [Music] allow [Music] i love the song [Music] tell [Music] which way do the roads lead where do i belong beautiful vibrato let me know if you agree with this i believe that everything in life happens for a reason whether it's good or bad there's a reason sometimes beyond our understanding for why something is happening i really believe god works in mysterious ways and that he always has a plan for us even if we don't really understand it you know exactly at that time and let me show you this so i'm listening to this song today is the 25th of april i'm not really sure when i'm going to edit it and when i'm going to post it probably in a you know four or five days sometimes a week but i just want to show you this there's this thing that i do on my channel there's a video that i posted on the first of january this year and i decided to change the title of that video every day in this year and i just changed the title to whatever i feel sometimes it's funny sometimes it's very deep sometimes it's sad and i just want to show you today's title the title of this video every day in 2021 no bots no cheating i'm going anyway you can check the video out if you want it's kind of a silly idea i just thought nobody ever done that so i don't know maybe it works maybe sometimes youtube decides to recommend it probably in seven years i don't know anyway today's title is honestly i'm feeling pretty broken and that's basically the way i've been feeling today i don't know i just felt so tired always chasing the algorithm always chasing youtube and not really understanding why sometimes my videos don't perform that well even though you know i'm doing everything that i did before and i'm probably doing it better now i think i've gotten the hang of this when i just started out i was you know more nervous i was speaking worse than i did today i don't know a lot of things changed maybe i said something in one of my videos that youtube didn't like but i can't really think of anything unless it's i don't know unless it's my beliefs i i don't know i don't want to say something that maybe doesn't have any you know any truth behind it but i'm never cursed in my videos i never talked bad about anybody i always try to make these videos positive funny sometimes and also for educational purposes showing you some of the examples when somebody's singing so i'm not really sure what's happening maybe i'm not posting often enough i don't know if you scroll down you can see in a pin comment every title that i did from day one to whatever day it is now that you're watching anyway what i wanted to say with this is that i believe everything happens for a reason this song i'm listening it today because again god just thought that i should listen to it today and that's what i really believe the song really speaks to me i really enjoy the lyrics uh let me just check who wrote the lyrics i think gary wrote the song but what did it say on the beginning of the song who's the lyricist the lyricist is freddie santos freddie dude this song is just speaking to me i'm guessing that you've been probably moved by when you were writing it and you know i just want to say that you know it's doing its purpose the song is really let's continue listening let me try to get that very straight note then a vibrato beautiful more set belting [Music] see are you forgiver not are you up for giver that's what i was talking about [Music] when all this is over [Music] to my questions to me could you be a messiah to me could you be [Music] i'm definitely gonna send this to my friend oh cool a picker deterred at the end into harmony even though it's not the end of the song yet cool cool beautiful arrangement gary dude this is amazing okay so what is a picker deterred it's basically when you have a song that's in minor key for example let's say c minor i don't know and you know you have the progressions and everything and usually the song would end in c minor as well but no a picker deterred would be when you end in c major so you make that minor third interval uh into a major interval and that just gives it this kind of uplifting spirit uh just listen to it one more time i think you're going to notice it here so here [Music] i think that's this part but i may be wrong maybe it's not a picker deter maybe it's just going to the dominant core i would have to check this [Music] okay let me just check i won't be able to sleep if i don't do to me to me [Music] please be messiah and where did she go from there [Music] it would be logical to go to e i think she goes to a c sharp minor yeah so it is a bigger detour in this kind of situation she could have gone to an e major chord and end the song or she could have gone into a uh c sharp minor or c sharp major which he does here which is something that i wouldn't think of doing but in this arrangement and in this case you know doing a worship song it just makes total sense because it just gives you this uplifting feeling something similar to what michael pangolin did in that rainbow song the way he finished it so listen one more time [Music] so c sharp major so she could have ended it like this or like this and all of that makes sense but i think this is the most beautiful thing she could have done please be messiah to me [Music] i think i'm going to leave you with that one thing that i need to show you is that this just shows you how much she's involved in the song she even shed a tear watch here i just want to hug her i mean man this song is so good and that's what i like about songs you know i love sincere songs i love songs that have a deeper meaning at that impact the world you know what's the use of a song if it doesn't make you you know shake to your bones if it doesn't reach deep inside you you know there are songs that can be just for fun and everything but those are kind of songs that i think are just coming and going they're just passing by but these songs are the ones that we're going to talk about i don't know maybe 500 years from now somebody might find this video in 500 years if youtube is still around and it might mean to them what it means to me today i think that's the most beautiful thing a song could be that's all for today i hope you enjoyed this video if you did like it share with your friends consider subscribing hit that bell to get notified about my next videos if you enjoy what i do on the channel consider becoming a part of my patreon page there are a lot of perks for you there i'm sure you were going to enjoy it and it will mean the world to me if you can support the channel even just a little bit i have more than 160k subscribers at this point and even if i don't know a fifth of that would support in uh just with a penny with a i don't know with something you can imagine the impact that would have on my channel on my life that will make everything way easier and i would invest a lot of it in my channel and try to make even better videos i don't know i would hire somebody to edit them so i can post more videos more often you know because like this it's really hard because i already have a day job teaching singing and piano in schools and i would really like to make these videos more you know frequent and i would really like to almost do every reaction that you asked me to but there's just not enough time but with
