Sounds pretty good man. Good writing. Really like the guitar sound, especially at the beginning. It sounded kinda like Hendrix, to me anyway.
One thing I would say, and I hate giving my opinion on the matter because I have no skill in the area whatsoever, are the vox.
They don't sound bad, but to me, they just sound a little pitchy in a few places.

I like this song a lot. It has a lot of raw energy, and yet, a simple arrangement. I like your voice in this, and for me, it drives the song. I've heard plenty of songs where the lead vocal is more pitchy than this, so it doesn't bother me. My only nit is that the drums seem a bit too loud. At low volume I hear the drums over your voice, so I think there is an imbalance there. Otherwise, good job.

this song is indeed titled very well as i have the impression of a light gentle zephyr on a warm summer evening. the vocals are unique, with combined qualities of Jerry Garcia and John Mayer (but with a higher range than his). i very much like the change at 1:37 too as it adds color and texture. cool song bro

Thanks for the input, I'm playing bass guitar on this project. I also wrote the lyrics. We're still looking for a singer but we needed to lay some vocals down just to get the melodies, harmonies and general song structure. So since I wrote the lyrics I ended up singing it. Twas a bit high in my range but I took a stab at it. We have another song we did with the guitarist singing, again not the best performance but it gets the ideas across. Anybody know of a singer in the Southern California area that wants to work on a project? We've put an add out on Craigslist but nothing has come out of it. We're going to start hitting up some karaoke bars and see if we can find a singer that way. MetalTek - I'll let the guitarist know that his sound is getting better, and will re-post once we get a REAL singer ABV - I love that change too!!! We're working on a lead guitar/organ solo there. I'll re-post it when we're done Lynn - I'll keep in mind the gain structuring on the drums when we do a final recording. We actually have a real drummer but he couldn't make it to practice that day so I put some EZdrums on and added a real shaker and tamborine

Nice song and guitar. I do think the vocals need to come up front a bit and back off on the drums. Also, try some panning so everything has its own special place in the song. Nice lyrics and a nice flow to the song. Peace be with you. Blessings, John

Really like this. I Like the drums up front like that too. Vocs could come up.
Nice job..
