Yeah. It's good, man. The singing is fine. You're definitely going to be your own worst critic there; at least I am. The recording probably doesn't do your voice justice either.
My only criticism on the song itself, is it sounds awfully repetitive. You mixed up the chords a bit, but the strumming pattern never really changes. Perhaps throw in some sort of funky rythym for the chorus and maybe an intro/outro with more of a single note picking pattern or riff. Just some ideas...
Nice job.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the input...critical too, you cannot be too honest with me....I can take it. I guess I really want to know if what I write and play could be enjoyed and listened to by other people. I really enjoy writing and I can't stop, but time to time I question myself. But songs keep pouring out of me, I've written 14 in the last year. Unfortunately, I'm not that good with intro's, riffs or single note playing, I mostly concentrate on rhythm and lyrics. That is really what I would like to be critiqued on, and enjoy doing the most. My guitar playing is very simple, and I would say nothing to jump around about. Anyway, I will hopefully have more of my songs up on the site soon. Thanks again. Can't wait to hear more originals from everyone else.

the progression is great, and the rhythm is very good as well. keep working on the vocals and melody--be confident...it will come. very good tune.

cool man...your vocals sound fine to me...both the songs I have heard from you have been great foundations for songs...I mean you have melodies, that is great...just work on keeping them from being repetitive...maybe a slightly different strum pattern...great starting point
