I just have a rough mix here of The Same. Being close to it I probably missed a bunch of things and would like any feedback, good or bad, about the track. The vocals aren't great and could be better if someone else, who can sing, sang the song. The section before the lead is supposed to have an upper harmony part but I seem to have lost my Bee Bee's signature series vice grips so I can't sing them. ;-)
 
The song is about the duality of man in relation to politics and religion and all that stuff. I also kept one half like the other. I use two key signatures and interchange them at different spots throughout the lead. The lead is sort of free floating so it may seem off but it's supposed to be that way.
 
Enjoy!
 
This remix has Rick, rwrenolds, on vocals. He did a very good job!!!

I hope you find a vocalist. It needs at a much stronger vocal performance.
 
The rest sounds good to me.

Thanks Ed. I hope I find someone as well.
 
Anyone willing to give it a shot? I have the melody written out so you can either sing against the piano or read it.

I really like this song and the way you arranged it.  Your guitar work is very nice.  As for the vocal, if you're willing to be flexible with the melody, I think you might be able to pull it off if you started about a third or fourth higher and sang in a higher register.  I can hear it in my head.  Best of luck with this because it deserves the best!

Robert,
 
The backing track and song is really good.    No shortage of singers out there so you should be able to find one, plenty of good singers here on the Forum too.   I liked the song and guitar playing.   I could almost hear a Steve Perry'ish style vocal on this song. 
 
Regards

One of the first songs I ever made with vocals was called "The Same" too haha.
 
On that note, I think the music is great. Not that big on the vocals though and would love to hear it with a singer that matches the music better. But very good tune.

Thanks for all the good words everyone! I appreciate it. Hopefully I'll get someone who can sing the track.
 
Here is The Same V2 with different vocals. It's more where I want them to be. I only sang them lower as it's more comfortable for my voice. Ironically, it's easier singing on key when I sing higher than I should. Though I still sing flat. This version is also V-Vocaled.

Good riffs and melody.

I really like it Robert. The song and the subject matter. 

I'd like to take a shot at the vocals if you think my voice is right for it. Here's a link to some covers I did a while back. Very simple and crappy recordings but I think the range is there for The Same... Tell me what you think.
