I noodled around with a children's song here a few months back, and after a while I found some chords I really liked for this. So I went ahead to record the stuff I had to see how it panned out (Trollsang in a new wrapping, in a lack of a better title at the moment). I have more work to do on it, and I have intended to do something about it for a few weeks, but I just haven't got myself into it. I am not sure if it's a project I should finish. Basically I am asking you guys to be critics to see if this is something that can sound cool, or not. I want 110% honest opinions, so don't be afraid to shoot it down if need be. I am not hurt by that. 
There is something around the 1:50 mark; the whole thing gets in arrear for a sec or two. I am still scratching my head as to how it could happen, but.. I am also thinking that the distorted part towards the end should be held out.. I originally thought that it could make a cool break with the song, but now it feels a bit unnatural to have it there (it's too buzzy also -- I don't want to touch the numetal era, although I did anyway. Hrmph). There is also some of the notes that get real nasty with the bass -- I am not sure how that did happen.. I am thinking about what I will add to the mix in the chilled down bridge area.. A lead guitar and a synth pad or something.. The kick drums were supposed to end at around 4:30, not at 4:07 as it is in the sound clip.
That's some of the mistakes I have found so far.. Feedback on 1.) should I keep on with the effort?, and 2.) what other details can I work with? would be greatly appreciated..
I like to babble around, sorry. Here's the link: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=653154
Thanks!
Edit: I also uploaded a cover I tried to make of Eric Johnson's Song for George that I recorded a couple of years ago, but is it really legal to put that out on the soundclick pages? It seemed like it isn't tolerated, but I have seen so many put out covers of various famous songs.. I am new to the whole soundclick thing..
