Default Unfiltered...first song in about a decade :o

Now bear with me, I haven't made any real music beyond little ditties for around 10 years now, probably about the time i stopped posting. Lacking inspiration I just couldn't come up with anything...that and having had some surgery, wasn't really up to singing...had to relearn how to use my voice properly haha
Anyway, this is a song that probably describes how most of us feel at some point in our lives....and yes, I know it's repetitive, and has no chorus...but after such a long break I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Gave it a listen. Sounded pretty good on just my phone speaker. I knew there wasnt one, but i was left wanting a chorus. Other than that, the vocal timing seemed to be a little off the beat, esp in the first verse, but maybe that's your style. The acoustic sounded great!

That had to feel GREAT to record! Totally dig it. Not every song needs to be a structured verse/chorus/verse. Love the vibe.

Hey, thanks, I listened again after reading and you're right, when sequencing the vocals I must placed the vocal track for the first verse a half second early, fixed it now but not uploaded to soundcloud (yet) Good ears, I didn't really notice until you pointed it out!

I really liked the song but I would enjoy it more if the vocals cut better through the mix (I'm no mixing engineer though)

I like it, agree the vocals might be just a tad more clear.
I was getting a Roger Waters vibe from it.
