You can make a song without midi?? lol
You could sing in a closet and sound good I imagine. I don't know how to help you make this sound better, but it sounds cool, especially thinking of what you used to create it. :-) I guess I'd like to hear the vox a little clearer in some places. Great tune! :-)

Nice feel. Cause there's no midi. YEA. Great use of whatever's laying around. I'll have to try the cookie sheet thing. great idea.
strumming on loose ac guitar strings
good idea.
-kick and snare were from kid's chinese drumset
they sound great. i'd turn em up a bit.
-hihat is a piece of metal on a cookie cooling sheet
cool.
enjoyed.

Thanks everyone!
I took some suggestions on the mix and took a better look into it. The bass/kick is a killer. I tuned down the bass for a deep thunk, and it was taking up so much space with the deepness of the kick.
I moved MANY 18 gallon rubermaid containers in my office stuffed with clothes. We have 4 kids, so we have all the hand-me-downs stored. They make great bass traps. I loaded them up in all the corners, it was like night and day. I could hear a lot more in the bass, so I hope you can hear the improvements!

cool stuff. people (hallo Tonehammer) make sample sets from stuff like you have done the percussion. this is cool. the mix is a little narrow and thin, but i think part of that is cos you don't have the volume slammed like many. really enjoyed this tune, especially the harmonica. the lead guitar felt a little fuzzy. great vocals.
overall this is excellent, so much energy and when you hear the story it's even better!

Really like the harmonica! Wow just goes to show you with the right person at the controls, you can make it sound good without real expensive drums, etc.
Very sweet mix!

Yeah, I've gotten the width comment on other mixes. I really have to work on the spread. It's sounds great on my system and headphones, but I haven't heard any of my stuff on other systems. I'm using Yamaha MSP7 monitors, and ATH M50 headphones.

Here I spend hundreds on fancy sample drums, and you get a better sound with stuff lying around the house, lol.
Nice job

Good stuff Ron.
I like the grateful vibe that underlies all the more modern motifs you throw at it.
I dug the harmonica and the vocal harmonies a whole bunch.
best regards,
mike

I really appreciate the nice comments, I'm greatful...because working on this thing so long has worn me down! I'm still having issues with the low-end, but I made some positive changes. Here's the most current incarnation; going to move on to a new tune now and give this one a little time to breathe before I make anymore decisions on it! http://www.ourstage.com/tracks/ZKQTRFTMFOKR-speed-of-light-mix
