The Great Divide

I posted this a while ago then took it down because I didn't like my vocal, what else is new?
But I'm re-posting it now despite its faults because of my very strong feelings about the topic.
I'm a mellow fellow so those feelings actually surprised me. So this is just my opinion told in a song.
I tried to mangle the vocal to hide the overall bad tone of it. Maybe that worked? The vocal does sound clear in the mix so I think I got that right.

Thanks for listening.

 Bjorn , I think the vocal Mangle and the remix Definitely worked .  It backed everything out of my  face and made me listen  a little harder to the lyrics .  Glad you didn't give up on the first "carp over night" version...    mark

thanks Mark.  I really do appreciate the comment.

I forgot to mention that the lyrics are there in text if you go directly to the Soundcloud page. In case the vocal isn't clear...

yep - with you all the way Bjorn.

The vocal gets the point across well and the mangling suits the dark nature of the song.

Bjorn, you have been putting out some excellent songs and video recently.  This is most certainly no exception.  I appreciate the lyrics and the music certainly sets a foreboding tone which is a perfect match for the lyrics.  BTW, I think that your vocals are perfect for the arrangement of this song.  Amen to the sentiment expressed!

That was wild Bjorn - I think it comes across as being psychedelic - at least to my ears. I always enjoy your stuff and this was no exception.

Your vocal is better than you think it is - you have your own style.
