Description
Just me and my stratocaster and bongoes, no effects except at the first. Very rough demo, really just for artistic purposes... I didn't really care about mixing it right or whatever, just wanted to get the idea down while it was still in my head.

Lyrics
Suddenly I'm very cold
And it feels strange not caring about you, old friend
All it took was for me to hear you speak
Word travels far on a starving man's feet
So I took some time away
New love turned some night into day
But the sun cracks the hardening clay
Till only pieces remain
Then all washed away
So I called you up then quickly changed my mind
Now I sit under the stars and think of when I was all right
And it feels strange not caring about you, old friend
All it took was for me to hear you speak
Word travels far on a starving man's feet
So I took some time away
New love turned some night into day
But the sun cracks the hardening clay
Till only pieces remain
Then all washed away
So I called you up then quickly changed my mind
Now I sit under the stars and think of when I was all right

... being a HUGE fan of this type of dark acoustic stuff .... I think you could turn this into something worthy ... but its all in the MIX .... the hiss was distracting .... the panning could use a little juicing up ..... very muffled vocals ..... I liked the song overall ... and wish it was mixed better .... would you consider talking to some of the MJers here who know more about this stuff and tweaking this out some ??? Cause the vibe and the mood was definitely there for me ..... I would almost be inclined to think that if you sent me your tracks I could attempt to give it an overhaul .... but ... I could likely improve on the mix ... but my skill level is so lacking I know I couldn;t do what some of the heavy hitters here do ! ya know ????? If I could be so bold ... I would also add that this could be made longer into a whole song and would likely hit the mark more... felt like a snippet .. to short !
