Hope this is ok to post as I cant seem to edit the original post! Ive now replaced the AI vocal on the original track for my own and uploaded it to soundclick. https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15076429

I prefer this version, Pete. Your vocals are great. Your tone and range are way better than mine.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

As others have said to me in here, don't put your voice down, it's your character that brings the song alive 👍 Pete

Yep. Definitely enjoy your vocal. On this listen, I felt the choruses needed something additional to lift them above the feel of the verses - maybe some backing vocals or additional instrumentation?
Anyhow, a great song - well sung!

Pete, marvelous vocals, so much more feeling than any AI I've heard (so far). That bridge ERUPTS. Looking forward to the harmonies!  FWIW, the moderators can open back up a locked post, but truthfully a new post is the best way to let folks know you've posted an update.

Oh, yeah, Pete. You vocal has my vote. You sing like you understand the words and express them with feeling. Ai can't do that. THese lyrics are too good to miss the feeling and understanding in the vocal. Yeah, add some harmonies if youlike, but this song is so good there is nothing needed but a strumming guitar and your vocal.

Gentle and very atmospheric.
No AI necessary, your voice sounds perfect for the song.
Well done!

Pete, this is much better. You have a fantastic voice and you know how to emphasize the lyrics. Synth vocals really can't do that to this degree.
Loved this version.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

"We used to be rivers, oh, how we ran,
Through the heart of this tired land.
Now we're just echoes, dust in the breeze,
We used to be rivers, now were just memories."
Great!
What a cool idea for the narrative.
We did not hear the AI version but there's no doubt that we would like your emotive vocal the best.
Nice mix and BiaB session guys ... sounds good on the monitors.
Enjoyed it!
