Bad singing. Bad production. Bad guitar solo.
But I think the tune is pretty good and deserves better than this crappy home 4-track recording.
And no, there are no real lyrics. It is "all about the feeling."

Kind of a lying-about-the-house vibe. I know you say there's no real lyrics, but I can hear you singing words; I just can't understand all of them. Makes me curious even if they don't really mean anything.

I like the melody. I see you have a note on SoundCloud saying you'll do a better recording eventually. I hope I remember to have listen when that happens.

I used to have a 4-tracker cassette recorder. Used it for years, but when I got it back out after an extended hiatus, it didn't work any more.

I don't really have any constructive feedback; you did that part yourself.  :P

Are they your real eyes?

People pay a lot money for a vibe like that.

The song is rather good. Goes on a bit.

However I like it, in the world of ultra slick production, theres a lot that is sound,  the singing could be fixed, I'd take another take for the solo, it's not far off. btw I once did some recording with a really accomplished guitarist, but the feel he wanted for the song was as if a beginner was playing it, so he did a solo similar to yours on this song.

Love the noises and the hum.

Can't really make out the words but the melody is pretty good.

Thanks! And the point is... there are no real words. That's why "it's all about the feeling."
Inspired by what Michael Stipe used to do in the early REM days. I call it "Stipe-ing" my way through the song.
:D
Thanks so much for listening.

I like it , you've got a lovely voice - really worth doing another take , I'd like some words to help me but it's got a good melody - and really does something to me in good way - very chilled out and relaxing , deserves some more work on it without making it to polished which would take away something I think
