Default This Old Heart

An old song from 2000ish that I lost the workings of in a PC crash. I was just getting to grips with Reaper in those days. The drums are crude and the levels are a bit sus. Here it is warts and all. I may re-record it sometime.

Ohh, I've never heard a vocal start here. Well done! The instruments
underline the voice very well.

But what also strikes me: The guitars and the drums are a lot
too quiet. The voice seems rather alone - solo - and is hardly
embedded in the guitar groove. There is still significant
potential for improvement!

The voice and the vocal melody are very good! Great song!

Thanks enroe, sadly I lost the files to this song in a hard drive crash some years back. I'm not sure I feel like re-recording from scratch but maybe it's worth it in the light of more experience, not that that always shows!. I'm currently digging through my "back catalogue" i.e. discarded efforts to see what I can re-hash for the better and this was one of them.
