I've got this to a point that although I'm not quite happy with it, it is what it is and I don't want to lose the inspiration by messing with it too much.

I have to admit that I was leary of trying to actually sing it but found that I could hide my pitchyness with multiple layers of different takes to average it out fairly well I think (at least I can stand to listen to myself... :-[ )

Those things we take for granted - when we're young and immature - will surely return to haunt us when we're old and insecure

You've done a great job on the vocal ....nice lead that piano/organ is not too shabby either and the drumming of course is on the money ...you've made me remember I'd better give the place a quick dust it hasn't been done in a while

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

Fine composition with melanchol vibe. The lead guitar additions sounds so good! Excellent job on each way!

I do have an electric bass and guitar, i do have an acoustic guitar. I even have a keyboard and a Roland drum set What I seem to miss is skills. So to cure my at least 40y frustration I dicovered my instrument being my voice. So I finaly had the nerve to take singing lessons and make my voice heared thanks to Songcrafters.

Cool song, Ken. Vocals came out fine and sit nicely in the mix. I can't hear any frightful pitching problems; personally my pitch correcting software has a nervous breakdown when I put my vocals into it.

Some nice guitar work too BTW and the vibe of the song fits the melancholia of the lyrics.

I can relate to struggling with vocals.

Good song... vocals fit the song well. 
Its cool you turned the poem into a song.

You have your own style...
