This song is emotionally gripping, has a plaintive melody to it and the
lyrics are expressive. I think you have a fine voice, but it seems
drowned out and droning rather than coming out fully. It's ok to sing
one octave lower, but I guess you have to up the volume on the vocals
to compensate for the lost power. The other solution is to go up a few
notes higher on the pitch. You seem very capable of reaching higher
notes but the baseline pitch was set a little too low to allow your voice
to fully express itself.
The vocal recording quality seems a little wanting ( a little too far and a
little too raw) and I imagine this can be re-recorded with greater clarity
and conviction. The harmonies somehow make it a little more
interesting. The strings in the background add a little more mystery to
it, but somehow falls short of a full layering of instrumental sounds.
Altogether, a very commendable song but i think you may consider re-
recording this in the near future to more fully realize and appreciate its
great potential. This song, with its longing tone and gentle rhythm, is
quite good to listen to on a contemplative evening...

sang it an octve lower. Was that due to range or mood? It seems to me
like taking it up a few steps would better suite your voice.
Still, I really like the song. It's got a nice easy feel to it musically. The
lyrics work really well. Kind of a dreamy, moody feel. The production is
nice. The balance is good. Everything is nice and smooth. I enjoyed it.
