Emabalus - Whistling in the Rain

This is a track by the obviously talented band, Emabalus. It appears on the debut full length recording "Doxa Mit Odynia". I was asked to contribute lyrics and vocals for the section beginning at 2:15 and ending at 3:05. 

As fate would have it, I was pretty sick when the day came to track these vocals. yeah, yeah.. excuses, excuses.. Nevertheless, I performed at the highest level my weakened respiratory system would allow. Some parts are just torture for me to listen to, but hey, I still had a ball!!
