Wow. Thanks for the kind words . I never thought that anyone would say that I should put this song out. I have been thinking about putting out an album, but I want to get a few more songs together first. I have a bit of writer's block. I've never been a big lyrics person, but I'm trying to change that.
I guess I've never really noticed that this site is metal oriented. I don't browse too deeply. I've always thought that this section of the forum would be filled with covers of difficult-to-sing songs or originals. I agree with your reasons, and have actually been guilty of some of them. Thank you again for responding, and with such strong opinions (in a good way).
P.S. I've asked friends to classify the genre of this song, and I sort of like your description of R&B/folk. However, I would say it's more R&B/alternative/indie, and maybe some pop in there. I like trying to classify genres of "odd" songs.
P.S.S. The soup can mix with the vocals were unintentional. It's merely a byproduct my crappy headset that I used to record the vocals, haha.
