I do like the lyrics of “Something”, but your voice definitely brings out something unique in them. I don’t think the short time spent on it, or any “imperfections” you may have had in there harmed it. The qualities your voice has in it definitely add to the emotional impact. If it was too clinical it wouldn’t have the same impact.

I can certainly relate to having emotional issues with one’s voice. For a long time I hated mine. Though I’ll never be able to sing as well you can, I think I’ve finally accepted my voice.

Ah, you’re also a Tolkien fan? You are quite a surprising person. I’ve been reading his books for about a decade now and for a long time he was my favourite author (now I believe he has been displaced by Charles de Lint).
