Hi all. I dont have a great vocal range but am messing around with some falsetto on this one.
Does it pass? Not sure if the vocal is too loud? All comments welcome. Rob
Oh Please


Oh please remember me locked in a dark abyss without a key
Oh please remember me all I have to take is your memory

Chorus
The darkest time most lonely times I fall.
You have all my Love please take it all.

Oh please don't be so unkind I been thinking bout you most of the time.

Oh please don't be so unkind all the roads I try to build you under
mine

The darkest time most lonely times I fall.

Rob,

Everything sounds good. The vocal is nice (not too loud). Your falsetto definitely works!

That guitar solo is killer.

Nice arrangement. The strings are a nice touch - at the right time. Terrific mix. Nice song.

Bob,

I like the song and your singing. To me you sound like Bobby Bare on this one. I like that you sound continues to evolve with each song you release. The guitar work is nice too.

By the way, I think you vocal fits in the production, it's not too loud or back in the mix. For some other song you might want to change the vocal level but the level is consistent with the style of production you used for this song.

I have to agree with David Snyder and say that I really enjoyed how you said "Peh-lease"! grin It added a lot of character and fun to the song. I don't think that the vocals are too loud at all. I think it fits quite nicely.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello, Rob

Nice falsetto!
You succeeded in extending the range of your great voice.
And also very nice melody!
I like that you change to minor key in the chorus part.
But you return to the major key again soon.
As for me I wanted you to continue the minor key a little longer.
But that is merely my taste, please do not mind.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Really well done! I think the vocals are just right on this one, personally. The falsetto doesn't sound forced and the volumes sound excellent. That aside, it is wonderfully catchy and I love the chorus. Puh-pleeease! Definitely getting some Roy Orbison vibes here too, as David mentioned above.

All together a very professional sounding tune - thanks for sharing smile

Excellent vocals, Roy Orbison and Elvis come right to mind. Lovely melancholy melody. The guitar solo blends nicely with strings. Mix is perfect.

Hi Jim. Long time no see. I like Bobby Bare and his 500 miles tune particularly.
