    This is a well produced song and a very clever video.  Are you the Alex Shirley in the credits?  I've noticed that you have a habit of posting very good videos.  Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right.  This is very entertaining and deserving of a wider audience.

    All the best,

    The vocal seems a bit muffled to me. I wish they were clearer. Probably just needs to HPF @ ~200Hz? Listening on Sennheiser HD600s.

    Very cool song, arrangement, playing and video.  This is worth a remix.  Look at doing a master of this by looking at the final stereo mix and then tweak to taste.  Highs are shy and kick is really not there.  Great job.

    I really liked it.  I agree with a couple others that the vox could come up just a tad, though it is acceptable as is.  The lead guitar tone could have more guts.  It seemed like a fly buzzing around my ear.  Don't get me wrong it was good but that's what I would change a bit.  I liked how it panned.  Fun to watch.  Reminded me of a few of my drives before I quit drinking 26 years ago. LOL  Overall a good piece.

    Nice mix and video. I think the vocals are a little quiet also and the solo guitar needs to come up  in volume. The piano is a little quiet when it does its little ride part too ,to my ears. The solo guitar is pretty bright ,kinda piercing.
    Excellent job on the mix overall and the video.

    I have to agree with some of the comments above in that to me the vocals sound a bit muffled.  Having said that great song, performance and video.
    Nice one!!!!

    Thanks for the comments. I can only assume the muffled issue is down to compression (youtube or otherwise) or vocal performance, it's mainly all live.It's supposed to be 'dreamy' by design! The masters sound a heck of a lot clearer than what you hear on YouTube.
     
    YouTube really does muck up the sound methinks esp when there is a lot going on.
     
    Cheers I appreciate it....
