Hey Chuck - thanks for listening. Yeah it's intentionally VERY compressed. Wanted it to sound a bit wierd i guess.

Cheers!

Well, I like pop music a lot, and I like this song.  I think the production works quite well for this style of music.  Keep up the good work.

I'll keep the money for you. I liked it. Very pop/radio sounding.

Nice job Daylaa.

No How:
Thanks for listening - and for the very positive feedback.

Bapu:
Appreciate it! Cheers

Tweeg:
Thanks for the honest feedback and for listening - i agree, the very beginning is rather odd sounding, and perhaps sits better later on. Its actually some heavy sidechain compression.  I'm glad u like the rest of the mix. Means alot! It means my 1year of learning has begun to pay off!

When it started I found myself thinking ...mmm don't think I'm gonna like this one as much, but by then end you won me over. Not my favourite style if I'm honest, but it is done very, very well. Listening on my laptop, so hard to tell properly, but the synths at the beginning seemed to be burying the vox a little.

I agree with a few comments above:

AND

This is really well done and its probably one of the better examples of this Genre that I've heard in a long time.
The vocals are really strong...I thought the overall production work was creative and interesting. 
Only small crit if I had my way, would be to add a fuller bottom end..maybe with a driving sub-bass in there.

thumbs up on the tune.

very extreme electronica pop...very sell-able in that genre... Daylaa you have nailed that genre my friend !! I dig your or whos ever voice in this...I can see this being played in big dance clubs with the dance floor packed !!....If I were a scout looking for this genre..I would sign this !! Good job...It might be a bit loud... compression will make you loose clarity if your not careful... Not my type of music but this is pleasant !!!

This is much better that droddy "farting" in to his mic...

Well thank you very much to all who have listened and commented. Much appreciated.
It means lots that you listen even though my music isn't your kind of thing.
Apologies it's taken me a while to hit you back - been (very) sick.

I gave Kaskade a listen after you mentioned him - i really liked it (and recognised it). Yeah i have alot of respect for his mixes - very modern and experimental. Cheers for recommending! I will look into adding some more low end thump - a few others have also raised that point.

Rockinrobby:
Does my avatar still appear as me infront of a large black bear?? It shouldn't - i have had a different one for months now. How strange!

Stratrat1:
Wow - mega compliment thank you. Very encouraging words. And than you for the headsup on over-compressing. I have taken that onboard.

Truckermusic:
LMAO! errr - thanks for posting. I think? ha ha!

Guitarhacker:
I'm glad i won you over - thank you for posting. I will go take a long hard look at my tiny low end. (on any other forum i wouldn't get away with saying that)!

Slow Marching Band:
Hey - 2 great compliments there! Thankyou. I am glad you like my vocals too - i would never ever describe myself as a vocalist or a singer, but luckily i can sing in some kind of tune and that's enough for me.

Paulo:
Very glad you liked it after a while - I agree with you - the very start is kindov a strange experience and perhaps buries the vocal a bit. I will take a look at it when i feel well again. Thanks for listening and posting.

Thalweg:
Thanks for the great encouraging words. I'm quite glad that the criticism is 'not enough low end' - i think i'd rather be 'under doing' it than over doing it. I will go tweaky.

Best wishes to all,
Dave

Thanks Robert. The video is literally a bunch of silent vids i took on my year in Canada shoved together. They kinda have a warm sentimental feeling for me and tell a bit of a story.
When i feel up to it - i will take a look at the low end.
Thanks for listening.

Thanks mgh - yeah i really do need to get myself a soundcloud or soundclick don't i.
Glad you liked the tune - thanks for the compliments.
