...but since this only took me the four minutes and ten seconds it will take you to listen, here you go.

I apologize for any semi-inebriated mumblings, and in that vein include lyrics below; I also refuse to accept responsibility, and instead blame the Heineken.

LYRICS:

I'll drown my beliefs to have you be in peace
I'll dress like you wish, and wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave; don't leave

True love waits in haunted attics
and true love lives on lollipops and cribs

Just don't leave; don't leave

I'm not living. I'm just killing time.
Your tiny hands; your crazy kiddin' smile.

Just don't leave; don't leave.
Just don't leave. Don't leave.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.

Pretty good, i would like a little reverb on the voice but that's about it. Thom's voice is tough and you do a good job hitting most of the notes.

Guitar is a little sloppy with a few slip ups but like you said, 4 mins and 10 seconds. Redo the guitar and maybe add some light compression to separate it from the voice.

Nice

Not trying to hijack the thread, but because the contest does seem to be dead I'll post the only songs I received for it.

sups08 - Rodeo_Clowns (Jack Johnson)

eliot1171 - Home (Michael Buble)

Also Lyrics, I'll listen to your song, but the link isn't working:

Copy and paste the whole thing. The "(" in Radiohead cuts the link off.

And frankly, if I was going to make a wholly produced version, I might redo some of it, but as it is, I clicked record, played it, and passed out.

I might do a full production sometime, but it won't sound a damn thing like that. :p

Buffs Critique was spot on for me. Like he said, lil reverb, and guitar a lil sloppy/speedy at times..

Vocals were nice and you showed very nice control with your vibrato... share if you ever do the full production.

Appreciate it, especially for a song that's completely out of my comfortable range. I might mess around with some production stuff later this week, since Thom never actually recorded it in a studio after he wrote it.

Sure thing, for you not being comfortable with that tenor range you did a good job....

I love Thoms work, I just wish his head would get back to where it was in his first few albulms...
