EP Demo Track - Original

Hey guys! Been a while since I've posted here. Although this is not directly bass related it will have bass at some point! If this should be in another subforum, forgive me.

I recorded a quick demo track on my phone a while ago - both the guitar and vocals are the same take and there was only one take recorded (no editing or software stuff other than uploading the pictures on a video player). Although the official recordings will be made during the summer, I figured I'd give you guys a sneak peak as to what's coming up! I do not consider myself to be a vocalist and, in fact, the decision to make this EP was more of a challenge to myself to do something aside from bass playing and JUST guitar. Anyways, I figured I could get some feedback as I'm learning this process of songwriting (positive and negative always welcome!).

Track title: A Darkened Rose

Cool stuff man, your vocals remind me of Lee Ranaldo! My only suggestion would be to shorten the lyrics a bit so you aren't in a rush to get them all out. For example, instead of your voice blossoms like a darkened rose, try "Your voice blooms as a darken rose." Its less wordy and therefore easier to sing! Keep playing, I like your sound.
