The moment at 3:06 in the single when the melody crosses over and down across a resolution of the chords is one of the best things IVE EVER HEARD in popular music. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have discovered and actualized that transition. "YES" is more than a very good song- it's an outstanding transcendent life affirming recording. I can't praise the composition, the arrangement and the vocal performance highly enough. If anyone wants to know what 11/10 sounds like, "Yes" is it.

Dear David, thank y🤗u for your singing masterclass detailing your phenomenal ‘Yes’ performance - you have demonstrated both in the studio and in live performances your talent that no other British singer has reached thus far. After watching your video, I am beginning to understand how many things a singer has to concentrate on as the song progresses and in front of a live audience, this is a great achievement. Stay safe and stay Blessed, today and always - Amen

one of the better singers that came out on the Brit scene in the 90's. Personally "You Do" was my fav, a brilliant song. Don't take offence, but I always wondered how you just sort of vanished after a few years. Good to see you resurface on the web at least :-)

This has always been my favourite song to sing when I'm alone pottering about, making a cuppa tea or doing dishes etc. Obviously I sound nothing like David, but I've always got a lot of pleasure from singing it. Probably sounds awful but in my head it sounds ok. So I found this really interesting. And when David starting singing at the end, well that was a real treat. Thanks for the video, David. You also have a lovely talking voice, as well as your amazing singing voice. Hope to find more of you in videos like this.

Superb. The interesting thing for me, as someone trained in Neuro Linguistics was watching him actually looking for the notes when going high and into his head, I may be wrong but I think he visualizes the resonance of the note as he is singing it.....Bloody marvellous....

Just in case it's helpful to anybody at Drowned in Sound, I thought I'd mention that I watched 'The Masked Singer' this week and am pretty certain that 'Robobunny', who is currently the clear favourite to win, is David McAlmont. I also get the impression that nobody else watching has cottoned onto this. Thought this information might be useful to you in case you're in the position to, you know, book an interview with him before his schedule suddenly blows up in the near future.
