Recording a cover last weekend - Crazy Life (by Kevin Fisher)

[jrop]

Hey guys! Just recorded this cover with my setup at home. Originally, a friend turned me onto the song "Crazy Life" recorded by "Home Free" (originally by Kevin Fisher: you can hear Home Free's version for free on Fisher's website Kevin Fisher - Home (there's a widget at the bottom of the linked-to page)). I really liked the mood/lyrics, although generally I don't care for country music (there are a few exceptions). I laid down a concept intro, and forgot about it for a couple of weeks. A few weekends later, I listened to it again, and spent the rest of the morning/afternoon filling out the rest of the song (in between laundry and chores). A few days later after some finishing touches, this is the end result. I'm generally happy with the sound, although there are definitely imperfections I hear. This project isn't done, but I think I've officially abandoned it .

I wouldn't mind feedback on: the arrangement (although the form is mostly copied, with the intro being different), instrumentation, mix, etc. Like I said, I feel like being done with this project (for now anyways), but any feedback you provide will definitely be taken note of for future projects.

Too pop for my tastes, but I think it sounds like something you would hear on a new movie or something. Sounds real decent.
