pro vocals
nice voice. quite warm. you're a pro.

i love that fifth up into falsetto during the verse. a little bit of a chris isaak rip off though. oh - i want to fall in love.

great great voice. the way you finish some of your phrases sounds like axl rose. like - "wrong" lots of style here. you also sound like that guy from 3 doors down. i don't like them, but your song is really good.

very clean sound all around. nice work on this one.

my favorite part (other than the voice) is you have quite a few different parts to this song. love the strum towards the end. way to build this up.

this is a great song. not terribly interesting, but a great single. a lot of commercial potential here. how are you different than 3 doors down or other such band? i guess that all hinges on your production choices.

powerful singer
Great voice... sounds a little like a lower version of Ben Harper... though wow... you can really hit those high notes.

This is some of the best singing I've heard. You don't even need that guitar, you're voice could make a song all by itself.

The guitar playing is good though, so it doesn't take anything away from your voice.

Nice lyrics, good guitar playing, outstanding, powerful voice... it's not easy to beat this combination.

frontman solo
Built around a strong voice set in a minor key, this song initially picks out it's emotional terrain ("will real love ever come my way?")before strumming it's heart out in a hot latin night kind of way.

The song is unremarkable. The preformance is strong and delivered with some genuine emotion with a male vocal is some distinction.

wow
Great voice. Really nice melody. I really like the stop around :45 and the other times throughout the song that you do that.

That really adds a lot.

I don't like the way your guitar sounds. You should unplug that and mic it up so it sounds raw and pure.

ohhh
right off a great over all guitar sound. engineer did a great job to capture the essence of the guitar. the vocal track is clean without a hair on it. a backing band would compliment this song in a huge way. maybe a solo of somekind. don't get me wrong I really like this song. Just aspects that I think would take this song to the next level tha every musician dreams of.

not too shabby
music sounded great. i didnt like the vocals at first but after i listened to a good portion of the song i came around. i ended up enjoying the song. i hope to hear more from you. i think the guitar is very powerful in the song. it was a very good recording and very good overall production. keep on jamming man i think your sound is sweet.

Great track
Very good guitar playing. Nice melody.

You have an excellent voice. Perfectly matched with guitar and levels. Singer is very comfortable... you can tell. Nice tempo change.

Can't find anything bad to say about this track. Very nicely done.

Soulful Voice
I really like the vocal line. Very soulful, and shows a great vocal range.

Great use of the guitar for chording and rhythm. Really accents the vocals.

So far this is the best acoustic track I've listened to here. I think you'll go far with this!!

One of the best vocals on GB
Very nice accompaning guitar. The picking is clear and clean and warm. Jackson Browne's 'Song for Adam' comes to mind. When the strumming takes place, it is bright and aggressive to drive and accent the vocals.
The vocalist is very strong and passionate with a professional sound. In and out of the falsetos was tastey and the sound is current. The mature conviction of the voice with a soulful rasp should jump this artist to the top of the charts. The mix is great in this song with proper levels and clean effects.
The true measure of an artist, is having only to rely on his/her instrument of choice and the pipes that were God given. This artist has done that. That being said, can you imagine a full band accompaning this artist? I can. Wow! Either/or works for me. I look forward to putting this on my playlist and hearing more. Great song.

Another kickin guitar
I am not sure if it is the technology of the manufacturing of guitars these days or what. I just have to say alot of the guitar work I have heard lately on garageband I am digging. I like the energy behind the vocals and that yodle touch in the vocals. This is a power song and I think it could use some more original touches to the guitar line to help it stand out from the rest. Lyrics a little thin but the energy behind this vocalist is at the top of his game. A++ for vocal work.

Strong singing
GREAT voice. Not to be crude, but this voice probably gets you laid! The guitar supports it well. The lyrics are not super-profound, but the phrasing is really nice and they are good enough to be a vehicle for your singing.

Good guitar, engaging vocalist
Not my cup of tea as far as genre but there is no mistaking talent. A talented guitarist and a vocalist who just commands attention. A talented songwriter if he wrote this. :-)

Sounds like Bob Seger
Voice sounds like Bob Seger. Nicely put together song. Good choruses. I like how the bridge drops out. Beginning guitar sounds like the intro to Fooin by Def Leppard. I like the melody in the verses. I like the variation there. You know the step up right before the chorus. Nice. Good lyrics. I could put myself in the scene. That is good. The vocal kind of sounds like the guy from Audio Slave too.

Lyrical Retardation
Your voice is really interesting, your guitar-ing is technically good, but dude: your lyrics are NOT cutting it. Real love? What is real love? Seriously... Pray it comes my way... Yeah yeah yeah. Alright, we know it's hard, that is why this site even exists. However, the fact we all struggle in it is no excuse to use one point blank cliche after another and think you're adding to the pool of knowledge/heartbreak. You have the performing capability, the persona, the voice and the instrument. Now it's time to either take a poetry class, start reading a bunch of books, check out a couple of instructional Dummie's Guides or something from your local library, etc... and study the craft of crafting a story and picture to accompany your musicality. It will be a good investment, and it MUST happen for you to get anywhere with your music. Good luck :)

Predictable
I liked the crisp tone of the acoustic guitar. The singing was done well but far too over-the-top emotionally speaking. The lyrics were crap. Full stop. The over-use of love is annoying. The change in rhythm was a good idea and succeeded well towards the end.

got me right away
love your pronunciation of the word heart. it distinguishes you. your voice is so wonderful. Ooh, the note on we'll is freakin sweet. I want to own this song. how bout a djembe in the background. how bout a space of no music on the word enough? it is powerful. the message is powerful. milk it.
