So, first off, http://soundcloud.com/joshloughrey/the-way-things-are-mix-3m
Some description and background:
My girlfriend is a classically trained singer. Did Opera for a few years before deciding that wasn't what she wanted to do. After a few more years of doing no music, she and I had worked on some stuff (mostly my songs). Due to some health problems, she had to stop doing that.
To get her back into things, and also make our work more collaborative, she decided to start writing songs rather than just writing parts for my songs. This song is the first we did together; she wrote and sang and I did the arrangement (you can tell I've been doing mostly film score work in the past year!)
Anyway, if anyone has time and wants to give it a listen, we would definitely appreciate some feedback! As I'm sure all of you know; an outside perspective is really useful on any creative endeavor. Specifically, she'd like some feedback on her songwriting. Thanks for listening!
