makes so much difference. you know you're going to have to do this with all your tunes now. ive been practicing my newest one now for weeks, and im not going to record for a while yet.
all that effort really does amount to a quantum leap in quality. and not just in quality of the recording. if you spend enough time practicing the vocal its really going to give the song a solid feel...and i think it can transform a song from nothing to something; it can almost make the song.

Certainly if the vocal is the weakest link (as in my own case, as many others), the more work spent improving that, the better. One of my goals with this song was to actually sit down and write a melody, rather than sing whatever came into my head. And then I did spend a lot of time learning to sing it, like it was someone else's song instead of my own. By the end it was just a matter of fixing the odd note here and there, as I knew it so well. Moving it down a key was also a huge help. Certainly in the future I'll be more inclined to try different keys if I'm having trouble. I did cheat and transpose the piano so I could keep the same fingering!

that was the key thing for me....treating it as if it where someone elses song, and not mine.
great effort.
