Description
This is a song for my macjam friends in London who have been asking me for the last 3 years or more to have a go at singing one of my own songs. I said I would like to try although I'm not confident as a singer, hence the long wait. I finally plugged in the mic, sat down with my guitar and came up with this little acoustic number.
Thanks to Dick, Steve and Len for encouraging me to have a go at something I have never done before.

Lyrics
She’s waiting in the rain
For the clouds to lift and ease the pain
On her worried mind
She knows what to do
To make it so clear
To ease her worried mind

She has to go back to a time and a place
Made her feel so real
And all of the time
That she’s been away
The sun never shines

No more waiting in the rain
No more waiting in the rain

She’s walking away
With the beat of the rain
On the window panes
She knows where to go
To make it so clear
To ease her worried mind

No more waiting in the rain

Waiting In The Rain
So glad you plugged in the mic. A lovely song and a confident and very fitting vocal performance. Nice changes and I love the guitar tone. Did you record the vocal and guitar as a single take?

Thanks Andrew
I appreciate you taking the time to have a listen and your thoughts on me finally plugging in the mic!
I did record this in one take, I found it the best way for me with just one guitar and vocal.

everything about this song says "isolation" to me...even how you recorded it. very moody and subtle.

Outstanding Bob...
Really, I always have felt the key to singing IS just having confidence and despite what you say above, if you didn't have it before, you should have a lot of confidence about your singing now, because I felt this was an excellent vocal (you have an especially beautiful and full tone and I never had to consult the lyrics with your crisp diction). I loved the accentuation on "ease up" and the other attention and feeling you put into the lyrics with your voice. This is a tone poem kind of song, very beautiful and your guitar sounds especially soft and lyrical. I know you only post about once every 19 years, and this was definitely well worth the wait!! Full marks sir! Michael

Yes you're right, it is all about confidence and you've given me a lot more now after your kind comments. I'm glad you enjoyed my singing debut. I hope you don't have to wait another 19 years for the next one.....lol.
Thanks again Michael, I appreciate your kind thoughts.

Beautiful Bob!
Why on earth were you worried about your voice? This sounds just about perfect on every level.

Lovely lyrics and a relaxed yet melancholic sound.

Loved the guitar. Simple and very effective.

I'm pleased our badgering had some effect and I look forward to the next one!

Cheers

Yes I was worried about my voice, confidence I guess, I've never sung before and now I'm over the first hurdle I'll try a few more.
It's good to hear your thoughts Dick and I appreciate them, thanks again for encouraging me to sing.

Bob, this is lovely, really evokes a mood, which it's what music is all about anyway, right? The lyric and vocal is excellent. I think it's great that you decided to sing on this...as others have said, it's all about confidence, and this should give you plenty of it.

No more waiting...
Really nice work, Bob. The one mic acoustic/vocal approach works very well here. Your vocals are far better than you have been giving yourself credit for. The lyrics are thoughtful and your guitar picking is uniformly good. Congratulations. Take care, Peter.

And you've done well with it. The way this song is sung combined with the lovely melody conjures a real melancholic moody feeling, in me at least. Downloaded and thank you.

It's great having Dick, Steve and Len as friends, they have been encouraging me for ages to sing and I'm glad they did although it took me a few years, I had to practice a bit first.

Focusrite
That's a crazy-looking unit. I guess it wouldn't fit terribly easily into a rack, but no matter, it sounded so sweet on your recording. I might have to pick one up to use for vocals.

The simplicity
of this song is really compelling, Bob. And why you are worried about your singing is a mystery to me. You deliver this beautifully and with a great deal of sensitivity. My only suggestion would be to sing just a little louder. It's not just a question of jacking the volume dial. YOU have to sing with just a little more power. You have such a nice-sounding voice. I just want to hear it more! ... Great song.

Bob,
this is just great... I love the simplicity and 'light' moodiness of it..... I knew the guitar would be top dollar, but I don't think I ever heard you sing before, so I'm really pleased you took up the others' challenge and got that mic out.... you ARE a singer and a good one. Love it when the feelings come across, regards M
