I suspect that the path for most people to get to a song is more crooked than not. We've just got different strengths and weaknesses.

And then I listened to your song four times. Not to even begin to appreciate your efforts, but because there's so much going on in the song, that I like.
I'm glad it (mostly) holds up to repeated listens.

The mandolin really stood out sonically!
Yeah, that mandola is something special. The demo caught my ear, and it makes the song.

The vocals were very good, although I agree with Janne (and others) that more differentiation in the vocals (lead and backing) could have been more exciting.
I've got the background vocals going through a different FX chain, and I toned them down vocally from where they were before. It's a delicate balance between to little and too much, and I guess I'm still trying to work it out. Oh, well. smile

But I took one more more notch after reading your comments.

And by the way, a nice rhyme for "Fire" could have been "Desire." Bob Dylan knows all about that...
Heh. Don't forget quagmire!

Speaking of Bob Dylan, someone on a different forum had mentioned they were had written a song about Suze Rotolo. That sparked some interesting ideas, and for a moment I was heading down that rabbit hole with this song. But it didn't pan out, which is just as well.

Thanks for listening and commenting!

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