The vocals are a bit "stuffy". I'm guessing you used a dynamic microphone with a microphone super close. You can use the proximity effect to your advantage by backing off the mic a bit. Once tracking is set in stone, you can clear the vocals up by cutting in the 200-300Hz range.

Song
It's ironic this topic came up. The next book I'll be reading is entitled "War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning".

I like the idea of delivering a message in a song. It doesn't happen too often. Sometimes getting the message across in a song is tough so sometimes just saying it is the way to go.

I applaud your efforts. I think you have an uphill battle, though. Good luck on the quest. I don't think peace is achievable in a nationalistic, pseudo-socialist nation who craves an astounding amount of resources. While few will say they flat out desire war, even fewer take a moment to realize that their actions point to no other alternatives. As the current economic facade falls (which has already begun) I believe we will see much, much more war than ever before.

I hope I'm wrong.
