Maybe I'm misinterpreting the reasoning behind saying it quietly everyday and out loud on YK, but is it ok to say/sing barcuh shem out loud in a song?

As the summer reaches its final days, each of us begin to feel the winds of אלול in our own unique way. It was a year ago that I released my first album, and the song “Hoshana (Redeem Us)” was my pivotal Elul moment. Stepping away from all the noise, the norm, the pop culture and music that consumes our daily lives and duetting this heartfelt song with my father. To be honest, I never really felt that it received the acknowledgement it deserved, and truthfully, it is the work I am most proud of to date. This kind of music doesn’t fade, it holds a place in ones soul for a lifetime, and if not a lifetime, then perhaps just this Chodesh Elul when we greet the King in the field and ask for our Redemption on a most personal level. May you experience this א.ל.ו.ל - אני לדודי ודודי לי in the most beautiful way.

I don't care for the video, but it is a beautiful song.

In all honesty, the song didn't fit his regular style so the people who'd appreciate it most may not have heard it, while his fans who did hear it perhaps didn't love it as much.

I never thought about this before, but every day when we say baruch shem after the bracha on the shel rosh (or after you make a bracha levatala by mistake), are you supposed to say it quietly?

"The Sages taught that the forefather Jacob wanted to prophetically disclose the date of the final redemption to his children, but the Divine Spirit departed from him, and he could not reveal this date to them. Jacob became concerned that the reason for the Divine Spirit's departure was due to a spiritual failing in one of his children. His children all answered with the verse "Shema…" in order to declare to their father, "Listen to us 'Israel' (Jacob's alternate name) our father. Just as you only have the One G-d in your heart, so too, we all have faith in the One in our hearts." Jacob then replied, "Baruch Shem…" thanking G-d for his children's unwavering faith. The Sages decided that since this verse was not one written in the Torah by Moses, but rather recited by Jacob, it should be said quietly in our prayers.

A second opinion is that Moses heard this prayer recited by the angels and then 'borrowed' is for us to use in prayer. Since this verse was not originally our 'own' we say it in a modest undertone during the year. However, on Yom Kippur, when we are likened to the angels, we can recite "Baruch Shem" out loud just as the angels do."

Seems like according to the first opinion it's only recited quietly by shema. And according to the second opinion it should be always.
