My first song written ever

Ok, until I did covers, but this is my own first song written. :)
With the help of Sonar and EZKeys of course..

    Good tune!  Sounds like it could be an album track from the early 70s.   
     
    Mix-wise, I don't care for the snare - a bit to buzzy for my tastes - and at times things seem a bit too centered.  But it still has a good feel overall.

    I like this song. Had my foot tappin! I don't think you need the effect on your vox though. Wow, great for a 20th tune even! Good work

    Nice job, sounds a bit over compressed. But other than that very cool.

    Hé Dick, would love to hear this without the vocal effect, makes it difficult to make out the lyrics. Goed gedaan voor een eerste poging !

    Oh well, at least I decreased compression and vocal effect and made it a bit more spatial.:) Thanx guys for all your comments.

    I Like it a lot. A fine song well sung. I like the B&D balance with the rest.
    I agree tho, the vox is all over the stage which seems disorienting. 
    Like the singer is madly running back and forth. lol

    Haha...maybe I was :P
    I removed the chorus effect now. Maybe it's better now

    Yes I think so. Great job. I like how the chorus builds.
