First song with my new"ish" studio setup. Written on guitar but ended up being mostly guitar absent.
Wrote it for/about a friend who suffers from angst. Nothing special but feel like it turned out pretty decent.
I will say this though..I really need to learn how to use pitch correction tools properly, whenever i start messing
about with pitch correction it just sounds fake and awful, so i always end up not using it. Im sure vocals would
sound a bit better with some correction here and there. Either way..Hope someone checks it out.
Recorded,mixed and mastered using Mixcraft 7.

Re: New song
Robert, that was hauntingly beautiful, my favorite of yours so far . I like the understated guitar rather than making it prominent like usual, lol The vocal is perfect. If I was to make any suggestion, and it's probably not one you should pay any heed to, is maybe layering a vocal harmony from about 4:19, but what do I know.
Very very well done!

Funny, started with 3 guitar tracks, ended with one somewhat buried in the background,lol
I write 90% of my songs on my guitar and most of my music will prolly be guitar driven, that being said this was a case
of trying things out and realizing that the song benefitted from the lack of guitar tracks. Really glad you liked it
I actually did record a harmony part for the chorus-ish thing, but i didnt like it. Maybe a combination of impatience and struggling with the pitch correction thing,lol much much appreciated!

Re: New song
Great song and nicely arranged! You´ve got a good ear for, dare I say, "quirky" arrengements, which I like. I also liked the sound of both the piano and the guitar! Well done!
