Great effort...It's gotta be one of the hardest vocals to do for sure. :)

Thanks Apple.  Yeah, its a rough one and just outside of Jeff's comfort range.  Interesting note though, Jeff has been a lifelong smoker and finally quit about two months ago.  He is basically relearning how to sing now.  He's gotten stronger and his range has increased about a full step so those top notes should hopefully be solid the next time we perform it.

Jeff pointed out now that as a band we no longer have any cigarette smokers.  For gigging rock musicians, that's almost unheard of, heh.

It's needed to force the voice somewhat on a song like this. You will certainly feel that afterwards. lol. Tho it can have a therapeutic effect as well. Well sung. And I'm in love with the drummer.
