Welcome back, Venus. Long time no time...

Nice song...I like the lyrics. Great vocal. I like the guitar tone but it sounds more like a clean electric than an acoustic...not really a criticism, just an observation.  Again, love your voice.

Yeah the guitar sounds more like a clean electric to my ears too, not that that's important as it sounds fine.  You have a fantastic voice and if you recited a telephone directory it would probably still sound good.  Excellent.

Very well crafted tune.  She has a wonderful singing voice.

Thanks for sharing,
Tom

Loved the vocal delivery here. I can hardly pay attention to the guitar, as I just want to dive into the voice and swim there.

When I do pay attention to the guitar, it sounds like a DI's acoustic electric or clean electric and not an acoustic.

I hear slight plosives from time-to-time on the vocal.

Do you use a side-address, large format condenser? If so, do you hang it condenser-side down above your mouth and sing up to it? If not, t'is something to try.

If you hang a condenser "upside down" ABOVE the level of your nose, but angled down aiming at your mouth (actually right-side up, as condenser down is the right way to sing into a large format side-address mic, especially a tube mic), you need never use a pop filter or change distance to the mic

Instead, sing "under" the mic, but up to it on soft passages, and under the mic, but straight ahead (so that your mouth is aiming to sound treatment under the mic, not up to it) on loud passages. This way, you won't have to change frequency response due to proximity effect, or bring in more "room," by changing distance to the mic.

With a dynamic mic, or small-format condenser vocal mic , it is more tricky, and you need to do it opposite, position-wise. For very tight pattern condensers, you must sing into them, and so using an elastic band (or two) to fasten a pencil in front of the mic will kill plosives.

Let me say that these possibly valuable tips are just polish. You have a vocal talent, and I liked the song too! I would take it just the way it is, and enjoy it, so everything else I've written is just nits and possible helpful suggestion. Very nicely done!

Best,

Mark

Welcome home, Venus.  We missed you.  You sound great on this excellent tune.  More, give us more!!

Aw guys, I love yall. I just want to say thank you for listening. I've been working all weekend and I'm so exhausted. I'm going to scroll thru and decipher all the input this evening. Right now, I'm going to sit back and relax and listen to some of yall's tunes...I'm so in the mood to hear great new music.

Dena, you've got such a great voice.  This is a beautiful song.  I probably would have added a little something here and there (keys?, strings?, ??), but it's great the way it is.
