You should listen to it. It's just a demo (of course) but I'm proud of it.

Will, this is a really good song. I found it very enjoyable and can hear that this kind of thing is where you best find your voice with a simple acoustic production and vocal being all you really need to engage the listener with a story you want to tell. The guitar sounds good, the playing and singing is all coming together nicely.

[Will_Wood]

Aw, thank you so much man. It's crazy to think that I've been posting recordings of myself on this forum since I was 15 years old. It's been almost five years, and you guys have been there for all the changes in my music. Thanks for listening.

I liked it too. Nice strumming though a little choppy towards the end but its not a big issue. I thought a little bridge or something could embellish the tune and its true that your voice has matured.

[BrokenMirror]

There are nuances in your voice when you sing in this range that are truly lovely, and I adored the guitar. Wonderful song.

[Mantrasolo]

Will, your acoustic always sounds so great. I love how you hit those notes and keeps the rythm rolling along with the action when you strike the strings. Good playing throughout.
You are around the 20 mark of age? Your lyrical content are sometimes drizzled with words of sweet, ageless taste. Others your age are content with writing silly love songs, y'know.
I listened last night and it's a great song to just lay back to. Reviewing this morning and it still feels good. One of your best, I think. Loved it.

every one seems to be giving you a pat on the back for this song mr wood, including myself - really nice song, i cant honestly say i get it, but it has that mystery in its favour - you do that well in your songs, you leave listener to fill in his or her own meanings. very nicely played too

Yeah, I know it gets a little choppy towards the end. I did this in just two tracks: Vocals and rhythm in one, lead in another, and they were just one take tracks. I get frustrated recording myself over and over again. There IS a bridge, but it's subtle and there's no singing in it. Thanks for listening, Dorio.

Thank you, compliments on my voice are always super appreciated considering how rare they are.

Thank you so much, man. Your opinion is one that I rate very highly, so really, thank you. I'm almost 20. December 20th.

It's about dying alone. lol. Thanks for listening.


Thanks everyone, I know I keep saying thanks, but really: thank you.

The true test - I listened to it when I was sad and lonely and it made me feel ok. Congratulations. Few artists can do that.

[dorio]

I can relate too - albeit in a different way than Julie - when you sing about white hair since mine is turning a grayish white now. When I commented I heard the song just two or three times and my opinion was based on the technical aspect. Now that I have listened again I can appreciate the beauty of it. One of your best country tune so far no doubt.

Your voice man, it's fine, altough nobody mentioned anything in the thread, your voice has grown immensely over the past 5 years and it sounds like you're at the point where you found your sweet spot and your use for it. Soulfully sung, great confident acoustic playing (those percussive slaps, the occassional emphasis on a higher note), cool minimal second guitar, a song to be proud of. If you call this the demo, you have a lot to live up to for the final performance
