Folks, this is my tribute song for a musician extraordinaire by the name of Tim Waurick.  He is a singer, a recording artist, and a coach.  Tim has the amazing ability to re-engineer any song in a way that allows him to sing all of the vocal parts in perfect harmony.   Tim's vocal range is so wide that he can sing bass, baritone, tenor and everything else in between.  He sings each part separately and then merges them all into one perfect song.   The resulting song or video is pure musical magic.  Tim's forte is barbershop style music, but he can sing pretty much any song out there.  Tim has won international barbershop quartet championships multiple times.  Just search the internet for "Tim Waurick", and you will see what I mean.

Tim, Timothy, Tim

lyricsssss

girl just leave me all alone 
honestly baby i don’t fuckin know
just let me die, no i’m not alright 
just let me cut up my wrist why do you care?
this is a first, you never cared 
why do you care now? i thought we were done forever 
you asked me “can we live forever?” baby no we can’t 
you made that official 

this is what i get 
just for caring about you
now i know, to close up my heart 
tried to love you but you made that into a nightmare
now im traumatized, now i wanna die 
you said you love me but guess now who’s a liar
said you never lied, but guess that was a lie
wanted you to call
but i guess that’s never happening anymore 
sleepin all alone 
that’s something you said i’d never have to do 
miss you more than ever
but now you’re gone forever 
now i wanna know, darling was i enough 
guess we’ll never know 
like when you said you loved me did you mean it?

A sample of Neil Balfour's musical journey.

First, I want to assure everyone that the purpose for my account here is not to make any money.  This account is NOT monetized in any way.  All of the tracks that appear here were created by me, and are for entertainment purposes only.

My goal as a vocalist is to share as much joy and happiness as possible with everyone who is kind enough to listen.   Sometimes songs make you feel happy.  Sometimes they can make you feel "sad".  Perhaps the "best" songs can convince you to listen, and then help you to feel, but above all, they should always help you you SEE.

I would like the songs that I have sung and recorded to be my "legacy" - if, indeed, I manage to leave a legacy behind. Some of these songs MAY make you cry. Some should make you laugh.  But I hope that all of them bring at least some (even if only temporary) enjoyment into your life.

Long ago, people would tell me that I should get into the music industry and start recording songs.  But circumstances in my life prevented that from happening back then.  The old saying is "better late than never" - maybe that is true - we will see.  

My intention is to always pay sincere respect to the composers and  original artists of the songs that I sing.  I hope I have accomplished this, and I want to thank all of those before me who have made it possible.

I ask that you please check out my Playlists on Spotify AND my music videos on YouTube (Link Is):

And, above all, I thank each and every one of you very much for reading this Bio and, hopefully, listening to my own personally performed versions of so many very popular songs.

Wishing You All The Very Best,

The Acapella Guardian
