I can envision what you are describing. Lots of good images being drawn with the words. I like the way you blend the music. Flows very easily with the vocals. I simply like this kind of song. I listen to a lot of music that follows this path. I can imagine this song being on the radio, once it had some professional tweaking. Also, your vocals fit this song too. You convey the pain and concern. More Pro Reviews The playing all sounds very good. I like the chords used. The intonation and tone of the singing is also great. - Andrew Koenig Great guitar sound. Nice stereo separation. Lovely chord progression and changes at 0.40, 1.29 and 2.24. Excellent sound quality and mastering. Strong confident vocal - David James |
