The Voice That Sunk A Thousand Ships

Today, we have a very special Guess the Password. Someone I know has decided to follow the trend of trying to achieve internet fame, by hitting myspace and showing their talents. This attempt is made by Goymer, prophet, bear wrestler and Olympic walrus-thrower*. On his myspace page are samples of his singing, accompanied by the song in the background on a visibly lower level than his voice.

So what does Mr Goymer have to offer? Luckily for him, he has a good voice for slower songs - The Fray's overplayed hit "How to Save a Life" suits his voice almost perfectly, "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol is also blessed by this, and his 'cover' of "Shadows and Regrets" (of Yellowcard anti-fame) is my personal favourite.

While it is hard to imagine Goymer growing a long beard and hair, jumping on stage and living the life of sex, drugs and rock n' roll (no offense to those who actually live this life), his voice is indeed suited to slower songs. At my first preview, I heard a cover of "Almost", by Bowling for Soup, and to be entirely honest his voice didn't suit the song at all - especially during the bits he forgot the words, but I suppose most people missed the opportunity to listen to it as he has replaced it with another song.

So kudos to Goymer for giving it a shot, and I wish him and his slow melancholic voice all the best. Feel free to spam his myspace page.

Haha, I don't have a myspace page! rai-thunder@hotmail.co.uk
