Ha! laugh.

I like to think I know a fair amount about the tools I use to create my songs and then I hear what you do and read the details and ... Well.... My hat is off to you.
There's some irony that I was trying to hurry and get this done, and not get bogged down in playing with all the tools. Sometimes it's better not to have a ton of choices.

I agree with the others who mentioned it could be a TV show theme song from the past. That's a compliment.
Taken for the huge compliment that it is! smile

Between the harmony in the vocals and the interesting choice of chords (most likely from those interesting chords YouTube videos) it's clearly obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into the song. I know how much work it takes to get one harmony sounding right, let alone adding more. Chord theory comes in real handy for that.
Oh, I love chord theory.

I actually dropped out the three part harmony, because it wasn't working out. When the voices are sticking to one or two chordal tones per bar, it's pretty easy to work out. When there's more than that, voices can get cramped and start overlapping. And when two of the voices are moving freely like they are here, the third voice just wasn't helping the sound. If I'd used a voice that was stronger in the lower register, it probably would have worked better.

I enjoyed the song. Good job my friend.
Thanks! That's the only important bit. smile

Edit to add : the lyrics are not too shabby either. Good message in there and a good job expressing it.
And thanks for that as well! I appreciate you stopping to comment!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
