its a good thing, there really isnt anything to improve in so far as the quality of the recording or the instrument playing. the songs follow a popular structure and the content of the lyrics are commonly accepted topics. what you do is great.
There is no more scope for me to critique in so far that i can see what you are attempting to do, cos i think that you are fulfilling your aim. it must be obvious to you too. you know its sounding good, right? you dont need us to tell you anymore!
I could crtique you on the content of the subject, or the style cos i myself want to hear something else ...rock and roll!!...but that wouldnt be fair....or relevant.
The only thing that I can say, and it doesnt fall into the realm of suitable critique cos its not tangible..and its something that im looking for...its that little somehting that makes the song special....or its a style that you cultivate that sets you apart from the rest...or ...or...help me out...do you know what i mean?! i suppose we are all looking for it....for what ever reason.....money...entertain friends....whatever....

I always feel I can do better, The little things kill me when listening to my tunes, Its a tough long process writing, arranging and recording your own tunes, I in no way am a professional at either yet. Anywho, I'll just keep at her!

I would have liked to have listened to the first version again, as I can't remember it. But as it is, this is a good, tight version. The feel of the opening is warm & solid. Very smooth. Of course, the drums do their trademark hiccup just before the choruses. One day you must tell me how you manage to do that!
The electric that comes in just at the last chorus seems to be a bit powerful compared to the rest of the song; I'd like to see that leveled out a bit more. And it seems the song is rather short - I was expecting a solo when it faded out. But overall, as I mentioned in the last song, it's good to see the production values improving. I can tell you've been taking your time and paying a bit more attention to the mixing process. I hope getting your hands dirty with the edit functions is helping you out (copying rather than redoing take after take).

Thanks mike! Yea the guitar could be a little lower there, I do fade in down after the first 2 lines in the last chorus but it could a little lower to start. The Original probally had more feeling, but my singing welll while having a ton of emotion was not the greatest in tone, diction and even some pitch problems, the mix was actually pretty good in that one though! Mike I have no Idea how I do the 'Drum Hiccup' lol. Im trying to destroy it But Im doing it naturally I guess, I guess its ok as long as it sounds alright, but really Im trying to be as good rhythmically as I can. Ohh yes the copy and Auto- punch is really nice, wish I had learned that feature a while ago.

mmmmmmmmmm very tasty! I know you want feedback about fixing up this or that. The only thing I could think of is the stress points in the singing. Certain power words are taking a back seat to less important words at points. For instance, "an angel opens her eyes" comes out "anANgelopensHEReyes" and I would suggest "anANgeeeeelOPenshereyes". Don't know if you can audiate what I'm spelling... Anyway, I'm only hearing it because you seemed to want me to look for it. Generally, I don't get all nitpicky like that. Oh man, what delicious guitar work!

Hey Snakes I totally understand what your saying! The Phrasing, yes Ive noticed some things. But the phrasing I think is better then the old version, so you know how it is, maybe later Ill go back and fix the vocal a bit more! Thanks again, glad you liked the guitar work Its always nice to hear that! Cameron
