The Bleakness Of English Life

No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!

Good use of compressor to make the acoustic compete on equal terms with the electric. A bit weird vocal ambience but I'm guessing it's beyond my competence because it actually doesn't sound out of place. As a song it's a hit in my book. Rather sad though that my book isn't the trend setter.

Can you do one called The Sunshine of Cornish Life next? :) Very slick track.

You grew up there - that explains why your music often has a British touch :-) Great song!

Oh yes. Guitar, especially instrumental, is reminding me a lot of Jimmy Page (been listening to Physical Graffiti a lot over the last few weeks). Don't know whether an "English rock" approach to the guitar was intentional, but it certainly works.
