Thank you both for listening and for your comments.
Ironically, on another board I've has suggestions to do some EQ in
exactly the *opposite* direction to Norval's idea :o so for the moment
at least I ain't doin' nuttin!
I could probably add an instrumental bridge maybe between verses 2 &
3, but I wouldn't cut a verse out. It would create a hole in the story.
The only reason for my choice of key was to attempt to get in a range I
could actually sing. This was the best compromise I could find. The key
change for the last verse is an absolute killer for someone like me :(
Once again, thanks very much for your thoughts.

Hi Will,
That's a nice song with a nice melody and vocals - if you're up for a critical
comment, maybe a little too nice?
The synth pad is a bit lush for a mournful song. Sparse would be better. And I'd be
playing with the EQ on the voice to bring up the low-mids and cut down on the nasal higher
tones.
Maybe cut one verse, and throw in a bridge to suggest a wistful look out the window...
But I liked it!
Cheers
Norv
I'd be interested to hear the difference that EQ suggestions makes.
To Will, you've got more tone the low notes - the G2 and A2 - than I
would have if I tried singing it but it still sounds as if that is
getting pretty low for you. Did you chose that key because you wanted
it to sound like that or for some other reason?
Overall I liked it.
Regards,
Steve.
