I'm a little nervous about this one because the person it's about is really close to my heart but we're drifting apart a little

 

I find these emotionally charged parts of life are the best to document in song

 

I'd love to hear what you think :)

Fuck.

0:38 And I already love it.

0:51 I have a little, little chills

1:36 Very touching, the violin is very sentimental

1:58 O_O

2:16 I thought of Violet Hill : D

2:22 Awesome and sad

 

You know already what I think og you and your works, so no need to say more.

Really really good! Absolutely love the lyrics and the strings. Sounds pretty well mixed too. What mic did you use?

Really stripped down, but still sounds complete. That song is fuckin' genious.

this is pretty damn good!

The guitar part reminded me of The tallest man on earth, but then in a relaxed way

but actually don't have much feedback to give :wink:

You guys made me so happy. Honestly, I can't thank you enough for being so nice to me. :)

 

Geek stuff here:

Fooby, I'm running a Sterling ST55 for vocals/ambience and an SM57 micing the bridge of the guitar, through a Presonus Bluetube, the guitar pickup (takamine) going through a Zoom G7 (clean preamp) and all three summed into an old TASCAM tape machine. From there, into Propellerhead's Reason. The violins are MIDI (Miroslav Gold). Honestly it's an incredibly convoluted setup which (barely) compensates for my lack of room treatment, and I'm sure you could get just as good results with less :)
