This is a song I wrote a while back about missing someone in your life that really means a lot to you. 
 
I hope to re-record this sometime in the future, LOL, I tried using a little bit of vocal correction software on this tune but it didn't seem to help. LOL, I have to laugh, It's like the definition of insanity where you keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result where adding my vocals go.
 
I've actually re-written the words a bit for the new version I hope to do sometime before the end of the year and hopefully will get someone who can actually sing to work with me on this recording. 
 
It ain't perfect, but then again I guess nothing ever is, Thanks for listening, that means everything.

Love the guitars. Add a few harmonies and you're in The Byrds territory.
 
Nice mix as well!

Pretty nice song Bobby. Like those guitars and the mix is nice as well. Vocals aren't to bad either. Keep plugging away buddy.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Sorry for the slow reply everyone, I've been really busy here lately. Thanks to all who have listened!! 
 
Jan - Thank you, I rewrote some of the words to this song and hope to rerecord it sometime in the next few months. Thanks again. 
 
Dan - Thank you, that's something I just never seem to think of, the irony is most of the songs I have done I start them out with the intentions of lots of harmonies on the vocals, but since I am not a singer and just wing it somehow I just plain forget about trying to add harmonies. Thanks again.
 
John - Thank you, hopefully the next version will be a better production. Too many times in the past I've recorded stuff and just left it as it is, I'm hoping to spend some more time on everything on a re-do of this song. Thanks again.

The more you work on things the better they will get.
 
Your vocals have certainly gotten better.   And the guitar has that jingly jangly sound that is the Byrds clasic sound.... clean and picked.
 
Use melodyne to fix the vocals.... I recommend it highly because I use it. I hear what it does for my vox tracks. Nuff said.

I like this song.  Nice work!
 
One thing others haven't mentioned above is that vocal technique isn't all about pitch (although pitch is of course also important).  I think there are some issues with your vocal phrasing.  You sound a little mechanical, as if you're struggling a little to sing specific words at exact times, and it sounds jagged because you're not quite sure of each step as you go.  I suggest you try to naturally emote the lyrics along with the song.  Maybe try singing along with it 10 or 20 (or 50 if necessary!) times, and trying to find your vocal lines and get comfortable with singing the song.  Don't make it too rigid.  Make it sound natural.  Try to make it sound like it's a story you're telling for the first time.

Hi Bobby sounds like your going strong with your music , sounds GREAT ! Haven't been around here much because of all the packing for our cross country move , we leave for Nashville , Tennessee on the 1st of Nov. and I'm not looking forward to it at all . The loading of the truck we rented and the long hours of driving straight non-stop is what I'm not looking forward to , 40 hours of straight driving with stops along the way .
But once we get settled in our new apartment hopefully I can get back to recording again I Hope . Its been a few months of not playing or recording anything because of the hand surgery and then suddenly we decided to move across country to Nashville ,TN .
Its just too much money to live here now on the west coast when your on a fixed income and thats why we are moving back there , everything is less expensive in Tennessee with housing , car insurance and health insurance plus gas prices is less .
 
I pack up my computer this week-end but I can keep checking in here using my iPhone 5 cell phone , I'll checkback later and see if your adding more updates to your song .
 
Songs sound great , keep at my friend ! James

You have a really good number going here.  It does have a Byrds sound to it and the guitars do sound great.  If you are worried about the vocals, Walt had some good suggestions.  A lot of times the lyrics don't fit the timing and melody.  You might want to give a look at that also.  For example, you used one phrase " and that is what worries me" where you seemed to rush the lyrics in order to fit them in.  A simple change in the lyrics to something like "and that worries me" might help make the vocals come a bit more smoothly.
I certainly can empathize with the frustration of working on something for what seems like ages and still not getting it where you want it (like me with my last posting). 
It sounds great so far and don't let frustration hinder you.
