neophytte, firstly thanks for popping your song into this month, because this link doesn't close like the suggestion ones do 
I had a listen again to both versions and I thought both were good but the band version really made this song pop! It felt to me, at least in my humble opinion, that the song really suited having backing.
easybeat, thanks also for reposting your song here, cheers. I had another listen today, its one of those songs, the more you listen to it, the more its grows on you. I liked it the first time, but I noticed more the second time listening to it. Definitely has a rock beat and I like it, had my foot tapping away to it.
Peatle, nice lyrics in there, cause it was about your own world and I liked that. I think quite a few people are like that, more into country life than city life these days it seem. That echo effect took me by surprise when you first started singing and playing, I wasn't expecting that, so made it different again. How did you do the echo effect?
, anyway still looking for something and will post one when I find something I like.
