Glow - original song

Hi forum friends! I would love to get your feedback as always on this song:

http://www.reverbnation.c...t/song_details/8546680


This is a slow, melancholy song written in an open B-flat tuning I learned from a Smashing Pumpkins song. I know this track is not finished yet, there is a "p" pop in the vocals and a couple of small remnants I need to clean up.

The song is recorded on a nylon string acoustic and I did a few different things this time with both the guitar and the vocals.

Thanks in advance for any listens.

    I'm listening at low volume on cheap spks...

    The guitar sounds good, I like the alt tuning on this. The vox sound a bit distant. I would have opted for a closer, more intimate sound to the vox, to fit the warmness of the guitar that you have going.

    nice job

    Thank you Mark.

    I have been working on that aspect. This song will be the lead off on a collection I am about to finish. They are older songs I wrote in the early 90s when I was a young man and never got a chance to produce. You guys have given me good feedback on them over the last year.
