Swedish Frog's First Ever Instrumental - Laurel Leaves (Once I'm Gone)

[Mendota Heights]

Hi, guys!

For the first time ever I've decided to record a backing track and it turned out to be a haunting slow ballad. I've probably made every mistake possible, so I appreciate your opinions and feedback.

Please let me know what you think!   If this song's unsuccessful the bank will forclosure my house and reposess my Volvo.

And we don't want that to happen.

I like your opening chord progression, it's basically in the format of many 50's doo wop songs. Might as well be alternate version of In The Still Of The Night! I dig the feeling and sound tho, gj!

Thank you! Since this is the first time I work with chords I tried to keep it as simple as possible, so I wrote it in C major.
