Very good. I loved the simplicity of the song and recording, which make it very intimate and engaging. Simple and true tale of dedicated love. Your voice has a pleasant sound to it that helps to sell and tell the tale of the song. Nice recording, clean and simple. Good job.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>So, what I do in this section is give you somethings to ponder and are WORTH pondering because this is a powerful and simple song that has potential in a film. If you didn&#8217;t record the song with you playing and singing at the same time, you may want to go in and address the few spots with you get a wee bit pitchy. Not a lot, just a couple spots. The guitar work is very good, but for giggles, I would like to hear the vocal track dryer (i.e., not so much reverb). It might make the song even more intimate, almost like you are whispering it. The lyrics could be smoothed out a bit as they seem to be fighting to stay with the melody. It is very easy to do&#8230;just go through the lyrics line-by-line and see where you can cut a word or 2 or 3&#8230;.or some un-needed syllables. This will allow you to open up the melody to a rounder tone.Finally, as much as I love the simple guitar\/vocal track&#8230;..some simple additional instruments and I mean SIMPLE could break the arrangement up and fill out the recording. A doubling of the vocal track in the CHORUS will have the listener singing along during the very first listening.You have a really nice song here that needs a bit of snipping and soft polishing&#8230;and I think it will shine even brighter!Good job. Thanks for sharing. Hope these comments give you some things to think about.PS Also, when doing a guitar\/vocal track, I like to record the vocal and guitar on separate tracks, so if I need to polish something or fix something in either track&#8230;it is easier to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: BeszoSong: FIGHTING TO SURVIVE (rewrite)Reviewer: Chet NicholsPositive Comments: Loved the 12-string guitar and the quality of your playing.
