Great guitar, well played written and recorded. You really have a nack for it.

I wish you would stop whine/whispering in your vocals. Your shit has so much potential to be absolutely mind blowingly amazing, its just held down by for vocals. Its not that they're bad note or timing wise, its just it sounds so breathy like you have no power behind them at all. Instead of singing in your headvoice, like you should be, you're just pushing your chest voice until it cant take it and it comes out all breathy.

Overall its a damn good song, a hell of alot better than anything ive ever written or recorded.

Keep it up homes.
Ya, I'm trying to get more power behind my voice, it's just naturally like that. A lot of it though is the fact that most of my recordings on here I record after I just wrote the song and I'm not used to singing it yet. I have to eat my words and just practice more, the big problem for me though I think is breath control. I can get power behind it if I try, but I have trouble doing that everytime I sing and I run out of breath easily.
no
to be perfectly honest i dont think any of that is correct.
This is the problem i had for a long time, i has trying to push my chest voice and the results were horrible, much worse then yours. You have to find your head voice, and when you do your shit is going to rock.

to prove it to you, go outside and just yell as loud as you can at any pitch, i gurantee it doesnt sound breathy, thats your HEAD voice. You need to learn how to sing in that. I just did, now i have to learn how to control it.
hmm....

I know its hard to trust me because even in my headvoice my singing is very mediocre, but compare it to some of my older shit. If you go through the kind of change i did you'll blow minds.

I'll just have to think about the head voice thing. I know what you're talking about but I don't really like that voice inside my head. It needs to go die in a fire imo...

Hey dude, I like it a lot. Voice fits well with the song style, and I don't know, I'm undecided as to whether it should be sped up at all. But overall a good song. :thumbsup:

You know, if I add some more instruments in there it might not sound so repetative. We'll see.

I think the repetition actually works in this song. Some songs it doesn't, but here I think it fits quite well.
