Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. There's a couple things to that vocal tenseness. The first is that I'm not trained and I'm still just...uncomfortable hearing myself sing, but working on singing more often and being more open about it. The second is that I know who these songs are about, and they're about real people and things that I still talk to and that makes me very nervous that everyone will figure the game out. But yes, I agree with what you're saying. I'd love to see some singer/songwriter stuff from you sometime!
