There is absolutely nothing about this that bugs me. It's hard to tell how it really is sonically from the stream...what bitrate does your page stream?
At any rate, I had to post to let you know that it's tunes and performances like yours that keep me coming back to the mp3 clinic in the hopes of stumbling across greatness. If every tune I heard sucked, that would get old, and if every tune was brilliant, that would be frustrating as well...it's like golf to me - it's that one tune out of 50 that just hits me right between the shoulder blades that keeps me coming back. It's just REALLY REALLY right up my alley.
Your voice reminds me of either Ryan Adams or the guy that sang for Toad The Wet Sprocket, or maybe both, but at any rate, I'm very seriously impressed. I like everything about it...the sparse arrangement, the fact that it's too long for radio, your ability to sing in pitch and with actual emotion without coming off like a pouting sap...man, nice freaking job.
You live in Mansfield, eh? There's another board member ("Tmix") that lives close to you. In fact, we all have plans to meet up sometime next week at a coffeehouse that's opening in Fort Worth where my daughter and I are playing. Quite a few cowtowners around here.
I can't say enough nice things about this tune...I don't usually gush. If there's a place where I can download it at a higher bitrate, I might be able to be more helpful
