Beautiful song guys! Love the lyrics. The bass, lead vocal, solo, and harmonies are great too. Just a couple crits though. At 0:13 it sounds like the solo acoustic hits a sour note. And when the drums kick In, it seems like the bass drum is either popping, or the beater attack is over EQ'ed. Just my two cents. I like the song a lot!

Mix comes across well here, the drums are little mundane to my furry ears but what would I know, thanks for sharing peeps.

Nice song and recording quality comes across really well. I think it is the kick drum that sounds a bit off tone wise in comparison to the rest of the kick. Great guitar playing as always though :)

Mike, this comes across as very polished on my system. Good performances from all make this shine. By George, I think you have it!

Lynn- Thanks for listening and commenting. If you get a chance, check out Lonely Road as well. We had a lot of fun with that song.

Mike, I thought it was truly great until the chorus came in. Yeah I know, who am I to judge. But I'm just trying to be helpful. I think if you guys put your heads together you could come up with a chorus that was more catchy. Really, the first minute or two was fantastic. If you had a hook that equaled the greatness of the verses you'd be gold.

Hey David-thanks for listening. I find the mark of a really good song, is that it often takes on multiple meanings, based on the person listening to the song. You might find it interesting, I know that I did when Sean told us the actual inspiration behind the song; It's actually based around drug addiction. You might decide to listen once again. I know it took on an entirely different feeling for me, once I understood the basis behind Sean's lyrics. It's quite a powerful song.

Nice job! The vocals are really clear and well defined, and Sean's voice sounds great on this. Overall I thought the mix was right for the song. Good one.
My only two nits would be the kick drum as Bidode mentioned - it's a bit "flabby" IMO and could use a rounder tone to fit the song, and after everything kicks in it sounds like the instruments are pushing the beat a little so a little off with the drums (quantized?).

I liked it.  Really clean recording/mix.. Love the acoustic guitar (sounds great in my work cans) Vocals are clear and present.. Was reading the meaning of the song (above comments)... Interesting. It does take on a whole new meaning..

We have updated the Lead Intro acoustic guitar track for this song. I am posting a new mix. I think that will fix the issues mentioned by a few earlier in the thread.

Steve- Thanks for listening brother. We may have to take a second listen to the Kick, that has come up several times.
Arlen- Thank you for the clean mix comments. We continue to work to perfect the craft.
