I think that the vocals are outstanding, but it packs very little punch musically. Overall, I just couldn't get into it. But I will give it another listen later tonight. :)

Thanks man!

It's offline right now because John pointed out a few minutes ago that I misaligned his guitar solo....FUCK!!! :oops:

Will get it repaired straight away....Glad you like the vocals! Regarding the rest, it was meant to be kind of a quiet hymn type song, my solo stuff is a bit more etheral and definitely not for everyone, but give it another listen. In fact, if you put it on your iPod on repeat and go to sleep with it tonight, it will lull you to sleep like a baby! :lol:

Very minimalistic. Reminds me of Color My World or The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

Wow, Don, George Michael's version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was exactly what I modeled this arrangement on, though in it's original form it was a fast pop song.

Coincidentally, Leona Lewis has a cover of that same song sitting on the UK charts right now.

The vocals and instrumentation sound great but something about it just seems kind of awkward. The lyrics just don't seem to flow together all that well.

Jeremey....just wanted to go on record and say "I like it". You have a very unique voice (despite the obvious influence(s))...great to hear something original from you well produced.
