I said Rock, but very old ..say early '70s rock. It would be a B-side floater to one of your other songs I would say.

In my humble opinion I'd do the vocal again and cut out the sever nasal sound. Make more of a "auh" sound and wrap over the sharpness.
I call it "over easy" the sharp falsetto and it will sound just as your regular voice does.

You're a good singer with good pitch and you'd blow me out of the water any day. I'm just saying that particular thing would sound
better as I've been "called" on it many times myself.

:yesway:

What we like about this recording is the one-take nature of it, good or bad, it's just the way it came out.
 
Not bad at all. Certainly didn't mean that. (y)

I totally "get" where you are coming from and I am in agreement with your observations.

Stylistically, everything about my original music is odd. There are strange timing signatures and i do not write in a conventional way.

Vocally, there are a lot of things that have become my "signature," that likely are not positive attributes.

Our producer has been a kind of coach throughout this project, even though his role is more passive and more educational (for us) than anything else.

For example, the way I "weave" vocals in and out of and around the time signature, would make a vocal coach throw up. But, it came from singing backup in black church congregations as a kid alongside my Mom.

When I recorded "Borrowed Time," I had one "vision" in mind and that was to sing it in such a way that the story came across as believable...where you could "feel" that the singer had been "broken and bruised," rather than just hearing someone singing the words.

That song is my hidden life story.
