Thanks for listening!
Yeah - I do have the vocals for it and we've played it in practice too...you're quite right, without drums it does sound quite all over the place. Much better with fills etc. marking the parts changes, and of course vocals. It should have pretty clear 'grunge style' changes between the parts, some played real loud and the verse (the third, simpler movement) should be very quiet with little else but guitar / vox going on...none of that is apparent in the clip, yeah.
They like the song etc. it's just that I'm having a hard time getting them to keep time changes right, and I do wonder if I'm after all asking for too much, then...we do play it already but it's just...too lax and seems like everyone is kinda following everyone else on what's happening. I don't want that either. Maybe it'll get better once we've played it a few times more. I just hate the idea I'd have to simplify my ideas/songs down too much to my taste.
