Текст песни Reduce Effort (feat. Manly P. Hall) - Akira the Don

But by this means of effortless effort
The individual changes his policy
And a good example of this method of changing
Is in the selection of an adequate vocal coach
If you intend to take singing lessons
In the, shall we say, "robusto style"
The principal problem was to open your mouth and bellow
And nearly all, or many of the older singers were quite content
And happy if they could rattle the chandeliers
In the back of the opera house
Then it was gradually discovered that this was the best way
To ruin a voice, that there was
These voices were damaged, and damaged terribly

Today we know
That the best way to learn
To vocalize, is to reduce effort
Today we know
That the best way to learn
To vocalize, is to reduce effort

The principal problem that every singer
Has to get rid of is his own throat
If he could lose it, he would sing better
Get his mind off of the noise he is making, relax
And allow the breath to move as it will
And if he controls the breath with a minimum of mental energy
He will produce a purer tone
While if he gets behind it and shoves with everything he has
He will develop only a badly pressured, badly trained voice

Today we know
That the best way to learn
To vocalize, is to reduce effort
Today we know
That the best way to learn
To vocalize, is to reduce effort

Same thing in life
Same thing in life
The purpose of life, the economy of life
Is to use a minimum amount of energy to obtain maximum result
Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
Same thing in life
Minimum amount of energy, maximum result
Same thing in life
