I need lead vocals for a funeral swing-ballad

I have a song that needs a singer that can hit an F6 (highest sustained note is a D6, the F is just an accent note)

Right now, I'm getting all the other parts recorded, so this is kind of just a preemptive search for a vocalist at the moment.

The song I have here is a big one, clocking in just shy of 12 minutes, with about 5 or 6 minutes worth of singing in it.

It's a sort of funeral ballad, written to be kind of smoky, sorrow ... ful, and beautiful, and inspired by the classic Bond movie title sequence pastiche. Focused primarily on how the song made me feel, emotionally.

The first half is more Julia London territory, quiet, intimate, lullaby-esque. The final 2 and halfish minutes of the song is a full belt take.

I've attached the lyrics, which contain notes in parentheses and further notes for each section can be found at the bottom. I've also attached the MP3 of the original composition I've been working with, which the other musicians have been working to record with real instruments (the version I have uses a lot of SNES samples out of convenience for myself).

I also have a recorded voice memo which goes over all the notes in the lyric sheet, and a playlist on youtube with reference material for direction. I'll share those if you are able and interested in helping me turn this dream song into a reality.

No rush right this second, I'd like to get everything else recorded so you have real instruments to sing to, which will have their unique intonations that I imagine will alter how the song sounds compared to the SNES version I've provided. I just got the bass in, still waiting on strings, guitars, and drums to get in as well.

You interested?
