1. App/Fatjack because I liked the crazy slide solo and the back up vocals.. (the opposite of what roastbeef said, ha)

2. Firedancer

3. Roastbeef

Bedurnburn and Geekmug should have done one together.. Geek on guitar and Bedurnburn singing.. that'd probably get you in the top 3.. or at least my top 3

Some examples:

"Anything too" at 0:47
"your feet" at 1:12
"fill our souls up" at 1:51
"adore you" at 4:12

It's pretty subtle, but it seems like you were trying to pronounce every word perfectly. It's more obvious on words that end in "rrr" sounds, e.g. "your". Granted, I'm being pretty picky here, and that's cuz there is very little to criticize actually. You do have a great voice and I REALLY like how you sing the "on the ground" parts in the choruses. Probably the other suggestion overall is to loosen up a little bit and maybe wail out on a few parts. Your voice is soothing, but it would be nice to hear more accentuations here and there if you know what I mean...

ill be sure to check those out. thanks for the input and compliments

my problem is that my voice is it's best at night...but i have 4 other roomates in the house. but hey, what can ya do.

-personally i think playing it in standard is easier

I don't go out of my way to do things like dave.. but in this case, I think it is much easier to play in drop-D.. and the song lends itself to having that low-D on the bottom, anyways.

And, thanks for the compliments on my guitar playing guys.. I probably could have sung it better, but I was going for one-take recording.. sorry if I hurt your ears.

no prob. you should have just played and ad libbed the melody on the guitar instead of singing, would've sounded cooler

And the world hung in suspense as we all waited for Ranting to either post his other 2 picks or read the directions on the first post.

Curses! Foiled again!

I couldn't get my copy of cool edit up and running, BAH! Anyhow, from what I've heard so far everyone that entered has done an excellent job! I'll post my vote once I've listened to them all.
Any thoughts on a song for the next contest?

FRIGGIN' HUGE AVATAR! SHRINK IT! funny though.

I think in the spirit of the Special Olympics, we're all winners. Except Ranting.. he loses for not entering and for not reading the first post.
