Beautiful Burden
2:26 / 3MB or so

Lyrics:
Beautiful burden, come and weigh me down
I've got a body you can wrap your chains around
When you pull me under, I promise not to make a sound
Beautiful burden, come and weigh me down

Beautiful burden, come and break my bones
I've got a body you can shake and make your own
I've been thinking about sinking like a stone
Beautiful burden, come and take me home

[Oren]

Nice and loose, not too much polish, and just the right amount of dirt. Sounds like the real deal...

[MarioD]

Sounds like a live band to me

Great job – Two thumbs up 

[DHMiltz]

Thanks, Oren and MarioD for checking it out and for the kind words.

Once again...

Can't go far wrong with a simple intro like that. Backing supports the song well at first, but then I think it rather overpowers it, which is a great shame. Instrumental section works well. When it backed off I was expecting the vocal to come in sooner - and maybe a bit louder.
