"Still broken"

I wrote this song after losing a friend last year.
 
This one was quite personal so it was kind of hard to sing. Anyway, I hope you like it.

    Your singing and lyrics really give a feeling of sorrow and loss. Very touching.

    Lovely vocal not easy to sing like that with minimal/no accompaniment. It certainly comes across in the performance what this song means to you.

    Yeah, that was really nice...    The bare arrangement and pre-delay on the slight vocal verb frame the lyrics and the vocal performance so well.   I'd say you nailed it as a tribute.

    Excellent performance !
    ...and a wise decision to leave it as a piano/vocal version. It makes it even stronger.
     
    All the best,

    You and batsbrew are my two favorite artists in the forum.  I thought I'd give this a bump.

    Thanks a friggin lot, you got me tearing up in here, someone could walk in any minute - this is why I listen to metal!! There's no crying in metal, you see. 
     
    Anyways, great song man, I felt every word, was totally into it.  You have an awesome voice.  You could sing the panties off a nun.

    Outstanding. Had me transfixed right through. Love your voice against that lonely piano, and you know how to build a performance.
