here as well ;-) I agree with Patrick on the vocals.
It seems to me
that the singer is afraid of her own voice. I have recorded some of my
Hi;
I really like this song, and I have to agree the singer
seems to be repressed, but its perfect for this melody. Maybe if
I understood the lyrics Id think different, but the whole song
feels sad and repressed like communist east europe or something;)
The only part I dont like is where the singer speaks a word. It
throws off the lyrical aspect. She should remain plaintive.

son's friends bands and almost without exception
the "singers" think
that falsetto is their normal singing voice. I usually have to run all
of the rest of the band out and spend a few hours getting them to loosen
up and really sing. It sounds to me like the singer in Firelightless
has a decent voice, she's just got to go ahead and belt it out. If
you're striving for that soft vocal sound you can do it with mic
placement and/or volume and effects instead of having her sing falsetto.
I don't feel that you lost the timing in the center, it just gets a bit
more understated. You're still on tempo. Other than the vocals I think
it's a great song. I like everything else about it.
