this is the first song ive written where guitar is not the main instrument.
let me know what you think
i think its a little strange

the bass was recorded a bit too loudly, and i was too lazy to rerecord it, so it over-modulates here and there

Sorry Dan, I didn't realize this was a different thread. It sounds good. Its very different from anything else I listen to but I still liked it. It has a very tribal type sound to it. It sounds like something you would hear in a movie. I thought the bass sounded alright, I only really noticed it being too loud twice. Is that a pretty standard singing voice for you? It sounded a little different from what I remembered, but what stuck out was how well you controlled it. I'm pretty much fighting with my own singing abilities daily and I think control is the hardest part for me, no matter what tone is, I have a hard time keeping it constant. You don't seem to have that problem at all. Other than the bass popping out too much a few times, I thought it was all really well done,I especially enjoyed the lyrics. Keep it up man.

For a long time I was straining my voice, trying to sing outside my range. I have a pretty deep voice to begin with, and I got frustrated about not being able to sing the songs that I wanted to. Also, I just flat out wasn't singing correctly. I've started to get better at these things by staying within my range and really focusing on breathing. It will help with control.

Thanks for the encouragement! I feel like my playing is starting to open up a bit and im getting more creative.

Yeah I would definitely say its a creative song. I really like the percussion you have in there. I really want to get some percussion stuff to mess around with. In alot of my songs I can hear where I would want to put it, and Ive been messing around using the back of an acoustic to tap on a little. I think thats my next buy, what are you using? Also I apologize for the shameless plug, but I am impressed with your vocals and I have some stuff in here, if you have some time I'd really appreciate if you could give it a listen and give some input on improving vocals.

Unique, not really my style, but it's well done nonetheless.
