Description
Well I am just working on this and was looking for some input. I'd recorded this a while ago in a live solo arrangement, but I wanted to refine it somewhat, and that meant going back to the drawing board and re-recording it. This is actually a Fritters song and will be the title song on our next album, with Kelli adding harmonies to the song. I wrote the music and Kelli wrote the lyrics and melody.
Originally this was just guitar and voice, and that's how I started this out, but at some point I decided to add a drum part and then the bass seemed to be appropriate, and just for good measure I decided to add some synth atmosphere. I wonder if all this extra stuff is appropriate. For a little extra I left on a little bit of a guitar improvisation that I made up on the end of the song.
Today's my birthday so I figured I'd post this demo rough mix and get some input. Should I scale it back? If not just imagine it with Kelli's harmonies and you'll get an idea of the final version...

Lyrics
I can hear it in the country
I can hear it in the trees
I can hear it in the subway
sounds like love
I can hear it in the ocean
I can hear it in wind
I can hear it in the desert
sounds like love
Go on make it loud
Go on make it heard
Keep on making
Sounds Like Love
Sounds Like Love
Sounds Like Love....
I can hear it on the playgrounds
I can hear it in the streets
I can hear it in the fields it
sounds like love
I can hear it in the mountains
I can hear it in the homes
I can hear it in valleys it
Sounds like love
Go on make it loud
Go on make it heard
Insist on making
Sounds Like Love
Sounds like love
Sounds like love...
You've got to make them listen to
Sounds like love
Sounds like a winner
sounds like a good idea
sounds like please and thank you,
and sounds like hello friend
Sounds from without
sounds from within
sounds like the answer
sounds like love.

It's my dad's birthday, too....
This is a really nice song, and I like that in this incarnation, the fact that it's a really nice song comes through... You've got some of your signature Jim Bouchard sounds sort of ghosting in the background, and they're enough to provide ear interest over headphones, but they're not so much that one is drawn to pay attention to the recording technique over the song itself...
I think your vocal is really good, and there's a nice feel between the acoustic guitar and the bass to my ears... I like the drums, which sound airy and seem very human and variable...
