Just added a little vocal harmony, is all.

AZ mentioned the sirens going by on his recording (indeed, audible), and as a funny coincidence, I had a little police action right in front of my house while I was recording this. Normally a relatively quiet street, but a couple of cops were questioning some guy, and they were kinda noisy, actually. Their suspect (or whatever) was a little loud and belligerent. Not loud enough to make it into the recording, though...

Heh. Awesome. Now I don't know whether to do my own scratch vocals on AZ's original or to try and share some space on this one.

Jesus, that's lovely. Thanks, Flapjax. I almost burst into tears here at work.

Echoing danb, I'd say another harmony along with this one could be sweet. If you do that, you'll note that my vocal is panned a bit to the right (about two o'clock or so) so you might wanna go for a left panned track around ten o'clock. We can be out standing in our stereo field!
