I would say to take your voice out of the room you have it in...pantheon room of sorts perhaps?..or bring it down to a smaller sized one...or whatever effects you used. I love effects myself and I like what you have...just not as much as you are using...only because it disconnects the vox from the song..to me anyway.

I like the song.:) Your voice has a Bee Gee tone to it...are you using the synth for all instruments or are you playing the guitar...?
 
Thank you for your advice, comments, and kind words. Much appreciated!

I really enjoy writing songs, but my mixing and production skills are terrible. I'm learning more each day just by hanging around in this BBS.

Right now, my equipment isn't that great either, but when I build my next computer this summer, it will be designed for my music hobby.

The demo was made using Jamstudio, Audacity, and Acoustica.

My guitar playing isn't very good and I only use it to work out my chords.

This style has an addictive quality to it. I like it. The progression is pretty cool how you repeat the line in the middle of the line like starting and starting again at the beginning. Very creative. I agree about the verb being a little too wet. Very Bee Geesesque, which could be a good signature sound for you.
 
Thank you for listening and commenting. I appreciate your advice and kind words.

Yes, I fully credit my writing style and musical influence to Barry Gibb, whom I consider to be a songwriting genius.

The technique you observed (e.g., "repeating a ling in the middle of a line") is patterned after the way he crafts many of his songs.

Sadly, Barry doesn't write songs as often as he used to and this is just my way of remembering the kind of music that I love. My efforts are, admittedly, a poor substitution, but I still enjoy trying.

Cheers,
