I really like the intro and whilst it set the opening mood, I was left wondering why there wasn’t a reprise, either in the middle or at the outro. I don’t suppose it had to be and that’s where artistic expression comes into songwriting and as listeners we shouldn’t be anticipating what the musician is going to do, even though we naturally do. Your vocals were steady and measured throughout and the backing Vox were excellent. The lead guitar on the outro was also really good, you needn’t worry about that. Another good write, Mr.Dee.
Thanks Lee! I recorded the intro with 9 tracks - 3 x 3 - so I mapped the chord progression with the notes in each chord and worked out the high, mid and low notes of each chord and worked out the notes each set of 3 could take with minimal movement - I think this technique is called ‘voice leading’? Three takes per note were to smooth out any vocal deficiencies and to provide depth. It is the very same stems from the intro copied and pasted sitting under each chorus.
Thanks for listening!
Andrew
