Here is is at my recital with just my guitar and wife doing harmonies.

Thanks for listening! It’s funny because when I play it solo it’s pretty depressing sounding! It’s like a whole different song.

I appreciate it!

Thanks, man. I was a little concerned about the length too, but I had worked on it so long and had so much I wanted to include, I indulged a little bit. When I was working out a lead part, I didn’t want to cut it out. The outro is probably a little long, but we sort of let it go in the studio and I was sort of noodling and the engineer just let it go and liked it enough to keep it. I figured I would indulge myself on this one since it wasn’t going to ever be on a radio or anything as sort of a celebration for actually getting it recorded. I appreciate your feedback and thanks for listening! And don’t count yourself short. You could totally record a song, and I know it would be awesome.

I appreciate that! Playing and singing is super hard work. I’ve found, though, that it takes a lot of repetition and then just singing while you play until it all sort of gels together. I am a Toad the Wet Sprocket superfan, so I know all of their songs really, really well. I found that after I learned to play and sing this, I just randomly started playing another song of theirs and I could sing along with it really well on the first try. So, I think if you take a song that is one you know really well that you have listened to for years, just jump in and go for it. It took a long time to be able to play and sing this song, but once I got it, things started lining up in other areas! Good luck! I hope you post some of your efforts in the future 🙂

Thanks so much! I signed up for the forums, but I haven’t had time to engage with it yet. Looking forward to it when I get a chance, though!
