pretty good, man. the vocals are nice. there's lots of potential to add more to it to give it a fuller sound and give the appearance that there are some sort of changes within the tune. it's got a really nice sound, but very repetitive. you could add a nice interlude, maybe. i'd normally recommend shortening it, but the lyrics fit nicely and you probably need all of them. great demo, though. hope to hear the finished product someday. i've enjoyed much of the other songs of yours i've heard. i have some on my UBW radio station. keep up the nice work and give us a listen sometime.

Nice song! I miss my days doing acoustic gigs. Just a little... This piece is sweet and has an ageless quality about it. The only thing I would change is the vocal sound. It sits a bit flat. But then again, I know this is just a demo so all is understandable.

i think minusme is onto something here. also, in this day and age, why would we send you a CD when you can click a link or send you a message on myspace where you can then just go to the profile to have a listen? even the last few times i've sent demos to record labels they asked for links to your myspace page or just to send them files. big labels still want that kind of thing because they want to make sure you're marketable. small public and private radio stations still want a hard copy, too. sending you a CD seems like an awful lot of effort to just get a song review.

Definitely a nice flowing and calming sound. Some of the nuances you tried on the vocals could be brought out with a little more confidence to make it sound less "draggy" and more purposeful. You should definitely have a more intimate and prominent sound in the vocals on the finished recording. Other than that, the instrumental stuff is great. Good job.

Got some great potential! Love the recording, very nice! Very Happy
I would love to hear more sometime.
Sounds more indie though to me than alternative.
Keep up the good work!
