 Here's the link . I want this one to have a foggy kind of quality like the narrator thinks he's seeing things clearly but something's off and getting worse.  I tried to accomplish that through the flange on the guitar and chorus on the bass.  If there are other instruments we could introduce to enhance that feeling, I'd love it. Drums need a thorough look.  Backing vox would be great in the verse, but I think crucial in the chorus.   It's a pretty tight little song - I'd be open to suggestions on if a bridge or other structural element might help.

A pretty outro that should feel like a mixture of realization/regret/shame. Drums are in there just as something to play along with - needs a complete re-think from the drum-minded in our midst. It's somewhat disjointed feeling in its current state, could use some connective tissue particularly in the use of drum changes/fills to help transition from section to section and maybe some underlying element (second guitar, some kind of pad/synth) at least in the verses that can give it some forward motion.  I really want to hear another voice (Josh) in the outro singing something like a 3rd in betwee...
