Apologies in advance for my voice. In my real life, I'm in the recovery profession. I thought I'd give a shot at that topic in a song. Hope you like it. Recovery When I was falling, I heard you calling Deep in darkness, lower than low Lost my anchor, spinning in circles Hoping you wouldn’t let me go Let me be the one you count on Believe it when you think of me Thank you for your forgiveness Thank you for my recovery I want to fight for all you need And give you my guarantee It took a minute to lose you And if it takes a lifetime to win you back, you’ll see I’m making amends for all I’ve damaged Humbly crawling my way back home I’m ready for change, but if I stumble I’l stand and face the great unknown Let me be the one you count on Believe it when you think of me Thank you for your forgiveness Thank you for my recovery BB Real Bass 2580 BB Real Drums RnBModernEv16 BB RealPiano 1639 BB Real Guitar 1637 BB Real Strings 2110 (horn section) The rest of the guitars (right side acoustic rhythm, Trem and solo) are me.

Extra fine song. Great work with that wide melody. That first guitar solo is also effective as it seems to be reaching upwards and that, of course, fits the theme very well. The band is solid and the changes from section to section well thought-out.

SoundChaser,
I like the write here a lot. The production has all good bones; The vocal is nothing to apologize for—sure there are a couple sharp/flat notes on the high end of your range, but it works and is heartfelt. Sometimes that adds more than a spot on vocal—and I think it does here. Nice work on this.
Kind regards,
Deej

Your voice does the job almost always. There're a few notes that could use support but those notes also add to the sincerity.
Reaper's Reatune is a good, cheap place to tweak the vocals if you really feel the need.
Cheers

Thanks for the tip. Tried out Gsnap, and that seemed to help.

Nice write! As Deej said, a sincere vocal is better than a perfect vocal.  Good arrangement as well. Enjoyable listen. Sometimes I need to remember to say that before getting all nit-picky and stuff. I don't know what DAW you're using, but almost all of them will allow you to cut words up and slide them around in time. One of the first things I do with my own vocals is slice them up and normalize them, and then make sure they're aligning the way I want them to. A bit tedious, so you obviously don't want to do that on every word. But hitting the rhythm on the strong beats. Do this before pitch correction, obviously!  If you start using something like Melodyne - and I'm not saying you need to - make sure you focus on singing the notes as "well" as you can. Speaking from personal experience, when you reach for a note out of your range, all sorts of nasty things can happen to bork up the timbre. So even if pitch correction moves the note to the correct pitch, all the scratch/straining/wobble will go with it. It's best to sing the note as high as you can sing it well (after all, some strain adds emotion to the note), and then pitch correct if it's only semi-tone or so off. I don't want to give the impression I'm writing all this because you're vocal is bad! I just figured if you're going that route I'd give some tips. Again, nice song!
