[♫] Conceiving You (Riverside Cover)

[Arcanum]

So last night, I was wanting pretty badly to do a cover of a song by the band Riverside, and so I started on the song "Conceiving You". I finished sequencing it this morning, took a break, and then finished recording it this evening. I think that makes it the fastest I've ever finished recording anything, ever. Anyway, tell me what you think of it. I'm not normally much of a singer, so tell me what there is I can do to improve.
Anyway, here:
Conceiving You Cover

The song, just in case you somehow missed the thread title and the references to it being a cover, is not mine. It is by the progressive rock band Riverside, from Poland. I tried to add a little of my own flair though, so the solo isn't 100% the same, though it keeps to the general outline of solo in the original song.

EDIT: Everything but the guitars and vocals is Reason sounds, and the Piano is from the Reason Pianos refill. The drums were actually done pretty strangely, in that I used a drum Dr. Rex patch like a sequencer with a few extra cymbal and tom samples from other sources.

Hey, I never noticed this.

I'm not too familiar with Riverside as a band (I know the name, but I've never actually heard anything by them) so I'm not sure if it's a stylistic thing or an idiosyncrasy of the vocalist or whatever but the biggest problem with the vocals is that the timing seems really off at times. Also, while this is really tight and mixed really well musically, the vocals seem to just kindof sit on top - they're not mixed very well into the song itself. I'm pretty sure if you mixed it more into the song itself it would sound quite a bit better.

Overall though this is really good, man.
