Hey Tim, welcome to the boards. Great sound here, although it seemed a little lacking in the low end--kick drum and bass (I'm listening on studio quality headphones). The song sounded balanced in the verse, but the vocal was initially very loud in the chorus, then back in balance with the instruments.I like the guitar break, but felt the vocal got in the way a little in the first few bars.Usually members post the lyric here if they're looking for feedback on that, so that's up to you.Very interesting and unique ending.Vince

Cheers guys,This is really useful stuff, so thank you. I will have a look at the bass issue and get that licked!I completely forgot about the lyrics: Rain On meV1It's rained now for so long,You didn't see me bleed,But hope still grows so strong,Rain was the water for my seed ChorusSo Rain On Me,Now I can believe In life and the better part of me V1The drowning doubts inside Feeding on your fearsSweet apple of your eyeTurns out to be another tear ChorusSo Rain On MeNow I can believe In life and the better part of meCan you see Lifes a dream And we can be free And we can be free Instrumental Chorus x 2

BTW,do you know Karl Brazil,him being a fellow Brummie.

Hi Michael,I do know Karl a little bit actually, we are a tight knit community up here! Thanks for your comments though! She is a great vocalist and we hope to work together more on future listings.
