New original. Appreciate feedback please.

I really like what you do. As usual the song and text are good. It not fair to judge on anything else since it's only you playing and singing there and a formal arrangment can be worked out when the time is really with backing voices and instruments.
Having said that I would like to say a couple of things more just in case you didn't notice them.
A couple of lines were completely swallowed, the word didn't make it out of you lips.
Sounded like you tuned the guitar down to an Eb. Noticed you had some problem getting those higher notes. I supposed you tried D and most probably had problem with a couple of low notes.
Noticed you have a vibrato in your voice, especially at the longer end notes of a line. That is very pleasant to hear, should work on that vibrato a bit more.
Though not necessary, try using an E9 ( taking that the guitar is tuned normally here), you know, the F# note on the 4th string and an A9, an open B string at the verse. Usually that expands the chords and gives a bigger sound.
Try taking some honey daily, it's a age old aid to strengthen and smoothen the vocal chord. It helped me and countless of others. It might help you too.

Great rhythm, it's one of my favourite. Ideas of the lead guitar, drums and bass section comes into my mind as I listen to the song. Would really like to play the bass to that song. You're a singer and song-writer of my heart man!
 
Hey Thub thanks for the wonderful feedback again. Really appreciate it! I've been working on the vibrato and trying to exercise my vocals but it doesnt seem to be working... perhaps i should try harder man. I'll try your honey remedy. see if it works. =)

Anyway yeah i'm actually working on this song now, putting in some strings and percussion. I really want it to have that Viva La Vida kind of feel... you know the really grand sounding stuff.. but with only a keyboard, i can only do so much... hahah.. it WILL turn out cheesy.... once i'm done i'll try to upload it and let you take a listen to it.
 
Yo! Try the honey, in a week or two there should be some result. Don't expect an over night miracle.
Try also to breath into your stomach and sing. Make sure that you have enough wind in you when approaching high and difficult passages, that means to breath in deep before the approach.
Looking forward to your new arrangement.
