I commented in the email that I think you&#8217;re using your voice well this time.  Except for the first verse, you know there&#8217;s still a straining quality throughout that is uncomfortable to listen to.  You&#8217;re making pitch but there&#8217;s no room for vibrato or dynamic variation because you&#8217;re maxing out your voice.  Also, and this is totally an aesthetic preference thing, but I think you&#8217;re singing 1985.  There&#8217;s a very predictable rhythm to the phrasing and the lyrics are very obvious and pedantic in places.  If I were producing this I&#8217;d get you to sing off the beat, and not start every phrase on one and sing until four. &#8220;I&#8217;ll sell you down the river&#8221; is a great line.  And the chorus is really cool lyrically too.  I&#8217;d bring up the backing vocals&#8211;they&#8217;re really good.Much of what I&#8217;m saying would make more sense if we were hanging out and able to work with lines &#038; parts in real time.This tune by Sloan, &#8220;The Other Man&#8221;, reminds me a lot of your tune.
