Awww lovely, postfestum. Perfect TY! I sincerely feel that his impact will be felt not only in music scene, but in social and political arenas as well. He IS a trailblazer, he just can't help it. He lives and breathes social change, setting an example by living his life openly, fearlessly, tackling every hurdle as they come along. With such poise and class. I learn from him every day.

Are you asking what he is doing vocally that tears at your heart? Well, here is what I hear: At the very beginning, he sings very lightly, with an almost straight tone (no vibrato), adding a bit of a breathy quality. The sound is, at once, open, simple, intimate, and vulnerable. Then, the second verse, he eliminates the breathy quality and the tone gets progressively more and more piercing -- by the way he focuses his sound way up front and high in his facial mask. He also adds a squeeze to the notes by tightening the muscles in his throat (as opposed to many pop singers who get that tone by tightening up their vocal folds and forcing air thru them --- not good for the voice). You know how, when you are on the verge of tears, fighting them back, your throat tightens and almost closes off? The tone he uses evokes that feeling when you hear it. It really wails, not as in a rock wail, but as in a wailing wall wail. It really is masterful, isn't it? And, when he sings that final two phrases, he drops all tension, and his voice sounds, again, totally open and vulnerable. Thank you Cassie. Those last two phrases kill me. Every time. The beginning feels so sad and vulnerable, but I can deal with that. Then it gradually builds and when he starts sounding like he's holding back tears, my throat tightens in response and I start to tense up. But I'm still sorta keeping it together. Right up to the final "Welcome to my world of truth". And that's when I lose my shit altogether. Just something about the way he sings those lines and the contrast with what came before. Exactly the way you described it, the open and vulnerable tone. So brave, so honest, so sad, almost like a gentle plea. And it gets me. Every. Single. Time. It hits hard. Every. Time. He's so brave. But I can't fathom how he's going to be able to perform that live... and still continue singing something else... with his heart ripped out and left on the stage... Will be so powerful and gutwrenching. I want it, but I'm not sure I can handle it...
