Woot
This is epic, good sir.
The vocals, lyrics and background work together to paint some great emotion. This sounds like a professional chart topper. No joke. If I heard this on the radio I would listen happily and think something something like "Wow, that sounds deep, cool and insightful. I've got to get the lyrics for it and see what other songs this guy has."
In fact, I was gonna ask for lyrics if Maestro hadn't beaten me to it =O. Darn you and your speedy reviews! Lyrics were written by you as well? Masterful my friend, masterful. If you don't mind my asking, where does your inspiration for this come from? Is it personnel experience?
Your voice is amazing. I'd assumed it to be an unwritten rule that NG audio artists couldn't sing very well. Well, I was wrong I guess =). You seem to have hit the vocals straight on the head. I love the effect. I don't know if its the effects you applied to the voice or just your inflection and overall singing but dude... Its candy to my ears.
I've never seriously considered this for other artists but if you get an album out you can consider it bought by me (and you can almost be assured, quite a few other people).
You get a 5 and 10, good sir.
But remember, the battle has only just begun =)
