the recording is badass. there are some rhythm clashes in between the words of the verses, kind of sounds weird. that's pretty picky though.

voice is good. song's pretty good. overall thumbsup. good job

Its kinda got a bit of a "Seal" sound to it. I dig it, but I feel like you need to be less floaty and more agressive at times with it, at least with the chorus.

You need to get rid of the guitar part that is real quiet in the background. It's dosn't sync up and just dosn't sound good in there. Other then that it was good. The beginning kind of reminded me of the begining of cigarette lit.

This has alot of cool elements, but i feel like this song needs to be worked out in its entirity before its is attacked by all of this recording shit.

I would love to hear this as more of an iron and wine style single acoustic harmonized vocals recording.

Iron and Wine is always the answer. If only we could master that mans simplicity...

Great sound quality!

I like the song a lot.
Maybe you could had a more powerful part, singing louder (and higher) to add more "feeling" to the song.
I also think the "solo guitar" at the end has too much reverb and the sound is not clear.

Overall, it's a pretty nice song!

I like the simplicity. Although I'd have to agree with Mattin, that second, faded guitar doesn't really fit, it sounds kinda outta place, and yeah, the vocals are just a tad quiet, if they were a bit more in your face, especially with all that's going on sonically in the rest of the song, it'd add a lot more. But overall, nice work.
