Nice lyrics! I know you say this is just a rough cut, but could I have the vocal track as it is anyway? I can start piecing things together maybe at the weekend and get something sorted with guitars and vocals in the mix from the original - which should sound better than just everlaying them because I can make room for them properly. Good job! I think these will fit well with the Christian's guitar part. I wish I had time to do this today, but I really don't.
