Sounded like a good song but a bit cluttered. I really couldn't make out each part or the words, but your voice sounds good. Overall I really liked it.

That was preatty good. You fall into the trap that I and alot of ppl do when they start recording stuff, they throw a butt load of reverb on the voice (i still struggle with this). Take a little of the reverb off the voice and turn it up a little bit and see how it sounds. The guitar was good, a lil less reverb. Clean up some of the back up guitar stuff, it was good but you came in late or something alot of times, try to perfect it and maybe make it a little less busy, I think simplicity is the key with this song, dont ruin the beautiful atmosphere with really busy guitar stuff. Great start, keep it up and keep at it.

yea way too much reverb on the voice, its very hard to make out what you are saying. It kind of reminds me of a James Taylor song. I enjoyed it, thanks for posting.

the guitar tracks don't always line up perfectly and that makes me angry.

this has a very dave sound as well, but thats understandable.

chop that reverb off and you'll be pretty damn good to go though, maybe take this down a half a step for your voice though
