Hi Paul,

Well first I really like your voice, I wish I could sing that good or even close to that good.
Second I love this song. Good lyrics and melody.
Third sorry but I didn't care for the drum track. I just didn't think it works for this song.
It's probably just me and my own personal preference and others will think the drums sound just fine.
Bottom line is though, great song.

Good music and Vocals!! Lyrics are a welcome departure from the despair and negativity heard so often. A little heavy on the repetition of the key phrase but overall well done.

When you do your final vocal, personally I would like it if you to put it a little more up front. You've got a really good voice and would like to hear it up there where there is no competition from the piano. The piano is a nice touch though and sounds good just get the vocal up over it where the message comes through clearly.

I plan too.. I put it more in the background because I didn't like the vocal mix and it hides some of the parts that need to be re-done... some parts are pitchy... and some parts the words don’t have the right rhythm with the music. Going to have to wait for my voice to recover from last night ninja recording session....lol

Its the tool I use to write the song and help generate the piano part ..I use it to form the song melody and words. Once I have that done I then back fill the song chords into BB to generate the bass, electric guitar, organ etc...realtracks... Then everything gets ported to Protoolsin wav files for the final mix down and effects. It my new workflow for creating songs and seems to work for me..
