What a great song, congratulations for your work!

The song itself has a great mood, it's very well written and has a distinct sound. Although I think it could benefit from a different final and if you shorten it a bit.

The lyrics complement the song very well, they have a uplifting effect.

The recording sounds nice. I have some questions: Did you use a keyboard? Did you bounce the instrumental part and then recorded the vocals on the two empty tracks? The Drums are onboard, right?

Thank you for sharing your work.

drums recorded from pc using cubase via line in to tracks 1 and 2 , then guitars to tracks 3 and 4 then bounce to tracks 1 and 2 v2 then so on and on, vocals done on micro built in mike then just kept bouncing to fit it all on.no keyboards used on this one, as i remember. lol

great song man, really inspirational.
I read some reply that said "try using different octives with the vocals"
is this song an example of that?

i think so , not sure if vocal harmony is a full octave apart but singing lead vocal twice but at two varying pitches, yeah probably an octave apart, as in the same key but one high one low, does that make sense hic, yes ive bin drinking again.
