New acoustic song from 1995 I just re-recorded.  I think it needs an actual intro sequence of some kind, really.  
 
What I'm worried about on this tune is I'm not sure you can clearly hear the half step guitar progression during the verse.  It kind of needs to be realized, or the melody is just flat.  I can hear it, but then, I wrote it so I know it's there.  How about you?

Very nice indeed. Great vocals and good guitar playing there! Reminds me that I need to practice more!! Also, great chorus!
 
And, yes, can hear the chord progression clearly!
 
Have you got an "electric" version of this too?

Funny you should ask...I do.  In a later project I re-did this one as a heavy version, if that's what you mean.  I will eventually redo that one too - it has mixing problems.  
 
Thank you for listening.  I'm glad you can hear the progression!

Very interesting chord progressions. It actually gives me an early Led Zep vibe. My only recommendations (which are non-trivial) are that the whole thing feels like "an intro." Maybe about half way through I would bust in with the bass and drums, lead guitars, synths and orchestra? Kazoos, bag pipes, gongs, didgeridoo's etc... But trust me when I say "I know" everybody's a producer... I'm hearing "more aboriginal percussion..."
 
(Warning there's a brief shot of boobies, "nice ones." and some zesty language. It's a classic musician/band movie.)

When you gave birth to this one, was it a "Breach Birth?" I know I'm probably "Breaching to the choir?" You could subtitle it, "Life's a Breach and then you die?" I'm sorry for that right there Lord.

Really liked it. Yes I hear the LZ comparison. I would have liked the guitar tracks to be a little tighter. The vocals are great.

Dude, this is simply ethereal. Beautiful work. Your vocals are vicious in the chorus. Love your voice. The guitar chords are very discernable as they change. My only nitpick is that I heard some pretty bad low end plosives on the vocals during the "b" and "p" words. Throwing a HP filter on there should take care of the majority of it. I always look forward to new material from you. You never disappoint. Thanks for the treat.

Man, this is some sweet stuff.  Love those guitars and I think I hear the half step progression you mentioned.  Doesn't matter cause this one works and works good....I don't need to know the nuances to like it.  Definitely got that LZ vibe as mentioned previously.  Nice vocals, good upfront mix and everything is crystal freakin clear.  Nice job of playing, tracking and mixing this one.

What is really amazing is that you wrote this song while drumming.
