Don't tell me why... (remix)

Description
Thank you all for your feedback on the first version I hope this new version takes the vocals where they need to go...

"My first submission was on the heavier side so I thought this would be a nice way to show another side of my style. This was the first song recorded on my own on my imac w/GB back in November '10. I wrote this back in college for my band "Zero" which was my first "real" band. It never had a decent recording and I wanted to do it justice. My buddy Bert Hoopes wrote the lyrics which my cousin Shelby Chavez performed in this new version. I recorded/performed/arranged everything else. All comments/constructive criticism is very welcome (I'm always trying to improve). Thanks for the listen!!

We've all been in that place in love where you just don't want to hear it......."

Lyrics
V1
Don’t tell me why
Cause I don’t want to hear
Don’t make a grown girl cry
With your softly spoken reasons dear
Don’t tell me why
You’re ready so...
Just turn and go
Just turn and go...

V2
You’ve survived misfortune
Take time to clear your thoughts
You finally gave it all you had
And found the answers you had sought
Don’t tell me what’s right for you is right for me its obvious...
I don’t believe
So if you even want to try
Don’t tell me why

Chorus

All I want
All I need
Is all you’ve got can’t you see that
Unless you want to make
A grown girl cry
Don’t tell me why....

I just listened to the other version so it's fresh in my head. Much better with the vocals brought up. Again, I really like it. There is some cool guitar playing going on.

Thanks for checking out version 2. Tweaking the vox a bit seemed to have done the trick. Thanks again for the listen and the kind words!
