Andrew, Thanks for the listen and the great comments. I am planning to go back and make some changes to the song and your suggestions will be very helpful. This was definitely a bit of a hybrid approach: a combination of BIAB real tracks along with me doing some other playing and I suspect the guitar that feels a bit off was the track I played on my acoustic guitar (the strumming track). I am debating if I want to go back and re-strum it again or just use a BIAB strumming track. I am definitely trying to strike that balance between injecting some of my own playing into my songs vs. relying entirely on the BIAB tracks but I think in the end, I need to go back and do what's best for the song (which may be using more BIAB tracks).
I am thinking that this year, a good compromise, may try a dual path with my upcoming songs where I produce a fully fleshed out version of a song relying mostly tracks that I am not playing myself and then create a second version with just me and my acoustic guitar (something I could play in public in a singer / songwriter style. I did that recently with a few of my songs on SoundCloud (Lukewarm King for example) and it was a fun challenge to try pulling it off without all the whistles and bells.
And I completely agree with the comments on perhaps trimming a few words on the lyrics. I could feel that in a few places while I was singing them and I suspect if I make a few strategic trims, it might make them a bit easier to sing. I really appreciate you checking out my song. Thanks so much. Joe
