Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

Nigel,
yes I am playing the Alesis drums , the Nitro kit... when I made the music for this I do this same thing way too often... I find a pattern i like playing on guitar and then I change it a bit and sometimes (too many times) it comes out hard for me to follow myself when adding parts to it...lol... but I am either too stubborn, too dumb, or too in love with it already (or too lazy), to re record it over... because you never write a song the way I do to write lyrics and sing with...and as much as I love this song...and I really do...it becomes difficult for me to even want to go on as a musician because my singing is so friggin pathetic and much as I have desire, that does not change ability...so I try very hard not to beat myself up over it...its not a matter of effort or desire...but just omg.... its kind of like being an ugly girl that no matter how hard she tries to look pretty she just isn't (and I have been around a few that way but their personality was so amazing you didn't even really notice, they became beautiful)..... so God this song is painful for me because there is such longing for it to be good....
sorry about the dang breakdown... anyway... I like the words and the basic way it is sung.... but it needs a better voice...

Yeah, really enjoyed this Stephen. It's really trippy which is always a winner for me. I also wanted to hear the voice a tiny bit louder, but not too much, just enough to catch those lyrics a bit better. I also like the idea of everything being kind of of equal volume for this kind of track, even though it might sound a bit like everything is competing for the spotlight, but I think that could be where it gets it's trippy quality from. Don't be too shy about your voice it sounds good and it gives your song "your" identity, it draws the listener in and want to hear your song.
