Mark - you've got some SERIOUS vocals. MAN this is good.

in my opinion (always gotta put that in there)
Your music is doing your vocals a disservice. Go listen to Marvin Gaye's What's Goin On, or Stevie, or, uhh, early 70's Sly (like there's ANYTHING other era of Sly).

Your music is light-adult-contemporary, slick keyboard driven stuff. I would LOVE this song if it was more rough, more, I dunno, more LIVE, less computerized. Your vocals are SOOO powerful - remind me of St. Paul's first solo tape (yeah, I don't think it MADE it to CD).

The song - your vocal delivery - is powerful, especially the chorus, and you're melting it down with the syrupy drum/synth patch... I'm almost wanting a INXS power chord hit in there...

This is one of those songs where, if you were willing, I bet some folks in here could put some SERIOUS spins on it as a remix effort. I'd LOVE to try, and I don't even know how!

ALL THAT SAID, I think it's great... it just sounds like a lite-remix or sumpm...

Thankyou very much Otan. I absolutely agree. I'm doing it with my band now, and it sounds alot different live, which is a good thing. I'm going to take your advice and re-record it. Peace...Mark
