Some comments on this song, before (or while) you listen:
-all the autopanning is just on one of the solo lines, near the very end of the song. Skip if you get bored!
-My wife and I wrote the first part of the song and the final part of the song fairly quickly; however, it sounded like crap when the song went from one section to the other. As they were (accidentally) written in different scales, I found it very hard to write a proper link to bridge the gap, but I'm happy with what we came up with.
-I turned to science for the lyrics! I'd never even heard of 'petrified lightning' before doing this song, and I think my lyric-writing is getting stronger.
-This is the first tune I used my SM-57 mic on, and it sounds a lot cleaner to me than my old mic. I couldn't get the sound to travel to the computer via usb, but my interface had rca outs that I used instead.
-I kinda hurried this song along to get it done; a better mix later on would be in order. Rather than point out what I think is wrong with it, I'm curious to know if you guys can spot the same weaknesses I can, or if you come up with something different.
-Sure, it's way too long, but I have no delusions of radio play with this. Just enjoying the self-indulgence allowed to hobbyists! ;)
Thanks to anyone who'll listen, extra thanks for any comments you can give. You're not going to hurt my feelings if you have any criticism for me, either :)
