I guess that *is* pretty vague. <grin> It is just that the intro to the song
sounds so uninteresting compared to the rest of the song. It doesn't make me
want to keep listening past the intro. I just haven't been able to think of
a way to make it better. Maybe I should reconsider having just a piano and
vocal and add another instrument. Maybe I should scrap the whole thing and
come in with a strong intro instead of a reflective intro.

I guess I'm just looking for ideas on what others have done to make a solo
vocal sound special other than reverb and EQ.

Well, very true in factuality, but modern synths can come mighty close. I
just don't think that is what is the limiting factor in this case. It may
simply be that I don't play well enough in which case I need to think of an
alternative intro. Currently I'm lacking lyrics for the middle of the song,
The beginning and ending of the song are basically done. (I'm extremely
happy with the ending of the song. I just don't think anyone will listen
long enough to hear it.) Once I get the lyrics written and recorded for the
middle of the song, maybe I'll post it for critique. It is probably much
easier to make suggestions when you've got something to actually listen to.
