This is a rough cut. I'm looking for suggestions from all y'all MJ'ers!
Thanks!
Oh, also, I used no loops. This is all me on my geetar and keyboard. Also, all vocals are moi.
Thanks so much!

MY SATURDAY RITUAL
Stacey K. Black
I have a Saturday Ritual
first place I hit is Starbucks for a large iced tea.
I don't add any sweetener
'cause I've been told I'm sweet enough already,
and oh, oh, I agree.
Next comes the nail salon
for a mani-pedi and a seat in a massaging chair.
Sometimes I almost fall asleep
and I half-dream that you are there,
and oh, oh, it's so unfair.
I have to fill every minute
I can't have empty minutes
even if it means reading Atlas Shrugged again.
I have to fill every minute
I can't stand empty minutes
and I don't want to have to read Atlas Shrugged again,
no, not until this year ends.
The hardest part is after sundown
and I'm not always this lucky.
Sometimes a friend will call
and invite me to a swinging L.A. party,
but oh, oh, have mercy.
I have to fill every minute
I can't have empty minutes
even if it means reading Atlas Shrugged again.
I have to fill every minute
I can't stand empty minutes
and I don't want to have to read Atlas Shrugged again,
no, at least not until this year ends.
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
I'd rather stay at home
and look for comfort in my new stemware.
'cause I'm worn out from my ritual
and I know you are out there somewhere,
oh, oh, somewhere...

I love your vocal too. and the harmony. very nice work. i listened to some other of your songs and liked them too, especially Hollywood. The only suggestion i'd make about the lyrics is that instead of just using Atlas Shrugged as a distraction, how about renting the same old movie, or playing the same old record. At any rate, this song conveys a nice sense of longing. The last verse is really sweet. I like the "comfort in my new stemware". I'd love to know more details about how you record your vocal. It is very clear and yet sounds like it fills the whole room. I just haven't been able to achieve anything that sounds that good. It could be my microphone (an AKG 535 condenser) or my pre amp (M Audio mobilepre). It looks like you record through a Bose Recorder. Maybe that's the key. Any suggestions to me would be most appreciated.
