Description
So a friend of mine sent me over a little acoustic number he was working on and was asking what I could with it. So "Broken" was born. After getting down some vocals and adding a tonne of instrumentation I wasn't really happy with most of the lyrics and was stuck for a decent second verse so I asked another friend of mine to lend a hand and he helped me out a lot. This current version is still incomplete but I wanted to post it to get some feedback.

"Broken"
Music: Ewan Crossan
Words: Liam Barbour, Gordon Macdonald

Lyrics
I’m broken down
The pieces of my heart
Just bleed ever after

I was your clown
But baby your circus needed
love more than laughter

Remember now?
Dancing, pretending.
Full of half-finished singing

So kiss me now,
And I'll show you forever
As cold as you've shown me

Remember I’ll be there when you change your mind (slowly)
If it’s a matter of trust then I’m sure you will find it (too late)
cause i want this more than
and i need you less than
i did before

I'm just a man,
Built up by your promise
Empty... whatever

And how do you suppose?
I take this while smiling,
This pointless surrender

Remember I’ll be there when you change your mind (slowly)
If it’s a matter of trust then I’m sure you will find it (too late)
cause i want this more than
and i need you less than
i did before

cause i want this more than
and i need you less than
i did before
cause i want this more than
and i need you less than

Remember I’ll be here if you change your mind
if its a matter of faith then ill pray you find it

Beautiful vocal work
and a really fine mix to boot. Can't wait to hear the final - there's great promise in this.

Another top track. The chorus really shines. Beautiful harmony vocals, and the trademark Obbster guitar sound. You've put a lot more character into your singing here. It was already really good, and it's just getting better. Nice structure, good lyrics. Great job, gentlemen.

Nice Song
And nice production so far. If I have to find a critique for you, it would be the vocal compression. Ease up slightly on it. Nice to hear your breath, but not at the same volume as your voice. Raise the threshold, drop the ratio, and lower the make up gain. I'm talking just slightly to make the dynamics more realistic and it will sit in the mix more realistically.
