Description

This here is a very lo-fi, stripped down song. I considered redoing it and giving it a more professional treatment, but I don't think it would have been nearly as honest.
*This is a less 'squeaky-strings' version than the one that I had up earlier. It's not perfect but definitely less wince-worthy ;) Thanks ajnorth for pointing that out!

	i just like the honest and raw sound of accoustic guitar...and if lyrics are sung by a nice vox like yours then a nice song like this is born...Enjoyed it.

	squeaky strings that's hard to avoid on a acoustic. at times it's just great to hear a bare bones tune. sometimes they don't need more. the song is nice and true. Check out my latest song called Can't It Wait Until Tomorrow

	squeaks yeah truth be told the squeakiness never really bothered me too much until today after I uploaded the first one and they were all I heard! Regardless, what you say is so true. Thanks for checking this out Vic. Check out my latest song called Again

I've ....
.. listened and commented on a few of your tunes tonight ... and think I would like it if you would post the lyrics .... I often like to read along while listening .... (and sometimes even sing along) .... (with respect to some of the other comments .. re: string squeeks) .. some of them could possibly be mixed out ... nr at least maybe be mixed down with some serious fine tuning .. but being the last person to give advice on mixing ... I will shut up now ....

Check out my latest song called Sleep (w JScott and Alannah)

	squeaksqueak Sure I'll post the lyrics for ya thanks for asking. As for the squeaks I'll probably give this mix another once over at some point and try that. Thanks for listening. Check out my latest song called Again

	This is brilliant man! A 12th or 13th song on an album. Your voice sounds so excellent on this. I don't think it needs the professional treatment. You might want to go with a bass track to sing with. I think you'd be surprised to hear how it sounds. Maybe a little strings at the end. Don't let this one die.
