I'm Not The Man I Used To Be

Hi guys another one I wrote a while ago, it's slow it's sad and it's the longest song I've written at 6 minutes + so if you're an insomniac this is the song for you (the guy had a lot to say), little bit of hiss in recording seems to happen on the slow ones but nowhere near what it used to be time for a Mic. upgrade I think also had a bit of clipping on the chorus so set output at 100% which stopped it, volumes ok this end hope it's ok your end

Best Wishes Chris

Thanks Carol, glad you liked it, it made me quite sad singing it, any improvement I've made is because of the support of You and fellow members who always encourage me, Kirk and Clancy have created something special with this site

Hope You're well Carol

All the Best

Chris

Thanks Tom still got my sights on Classical Gas, I don't practice as much as I should but I'm getting a bit more disciplined, pleased you liked the lyrics, I'm enjoying your music Tom.

Thanks Eddiez, my studios pretty basic but it's made a great difference it's good to have my own space feel I have a lot more freedom these days
