Self Made Man by Sean Magee, I haven't been here in about year and I don't have expensive software anymore, but I still write and record songs from time to time.

What a unique voice. I would like to hear part of this song with just one voice singing - for part of it, because your voice seems to have a very powerful quality that might be lost with the multiplication of vocals (was that a Haas effect for some of it?)

I also really liked the quality of the recording. The Guitar sound was nice to my ears, and the percussive marimba-like thing with soft back guitars gave it a low-fi, I-Really-Did-This feel that carried the point of the lyrics of the song.

Well done.

Again, what I was missing was that I wanted the personal connection with just your lone-voice for at least part of the song.

Most important thing for an artist is being individual, unique, nonconformistic. You are !!!
Slightly avantgardistic.
Funny, usually we reviewers recommend adding harmony- vox on some memberīs songs, cos some only sing one voice track. So that it sounds bit empty and non-accentuated in parts.
Here it is conversely : as Soni pointed out, when you reduce the coninuing second voice in parts the song would gain more structure / texture / dramaturgy. Also a variing chord progression can keep a song interesting.

Your vocal expression reminded me to some old "Sparks"-songs or so. As I said : individual

Really like the backing guitars and marimba and as for your vocal performance well what can I say ... you got the chops good. Agree with excellent ears above .... with playing with 2 nd vocal here & there to enhance dynamics of the vox is the song.
