"Nothing Left to Lose"

Last week, I learned some of the backing vocal parts for "Nothing Left to Lose."  I didn't have an opportunity to record them until recently though, and I had to change the key to fit my range.  The original is in Bb major; mine's in F major.  I also doubled-tracked each part to make it sound better with my voice.

My referent for the parts was the bonus track on The Turn of a Friendly Card that's just Chris Rainbow's vocal parts.  Comparing that with the final version reveals that I have a lot less than I thought I did.  I have up until about 0:40 on that track (and the first ten seconds or so is just Rainbow's getting ready), but I think that's only half of the backing vocals for the verses in the final version.

Anyway, in that first forty seconds, there are four parts, and each is four measures long.  Every four measures, a new part is added.  After adding all of the parts, I sang them a fifth time too.
