Joe: thank you. You'll laugh, but it's just a headset and microphone. I've used better mics before, of course, but - for some reason - this one makes my voice at least mildly bearable (to my ears, at least, haha). It's by a company called "Creative"? So nothing major or well-known, but it's the best I have, so far.

Jim: 100% spot on. This was very much a "get it out of my system" song. Came home last night after a tough day and just switched on BIAB, my word processor program and Audacity - and just wrote. Thanks for listening to it - I needed to do that :-)
