Go Ahead and Leave Me

Edits added from comments Apr 26
A relative broke up a marriage and it got me thinking about the process of dividing the spoils.
And then how it hits you in the end.

Drums =DR880
SI Bass- by hand in Piano view
Mic'ed Fender Deluxe Reverb amp and Strat. Dry, but added Saturation Knob.
Tried to keep it simple and not over-produced or crushed.
Mastering with AAMS.

    I take it that the song's name is Go Ahead and Leave Me.
    I think it needs louder drums, otherwise singing is good and song sounds fine.
    Needs more low end to me also.
    Also am I suppose to know if low-fi or hi-fi is playing the song??
    I will take it at hi-fi I suppose all the time.
    (no bass drum meaning with the low end - or is there any??)
    At least the way it sounds to me right now.

    Nice slow down on the song also.
    Kind of groovy tune, bounces.
     
    Oh, you got the title there, must of missed that. Duh!

    Thanks for the comments Spacealf.
    I should have checked to see if there was enough in the bass freqs.
    As I get older, I've lost some bass hearing and I'm always concerned I'll overdo it.

    It never ends well...
     
    People start out with all of the I love you's? The long phone calls? Pet names...
     
    Then in the end, "it's so f'ing ugly..." And people who used to love each other, do their best to hurt each other...
     
    I'll never understand it (why?) But I understand it "intimately.." (how?) 
     
    Get your hands off my BB's! (reminds me of that first long night in prison...)
     
    I like the sparse arrangement.. Kudos on that. Good job man.

    Nice tune. I really like the tone on the main guitar and I like the playing,nice style. The vocal sounded to me in the beginning like the reverb level needs to be lower, further in after the harmonies came in ,it got better. Overall a pretty good mix to my ears.

    It doesn't come down to the relationship? It comes down to the $$...
     
    When they can *&E#@! you for the $$? Guess what...
     
    Follow the money baby. Ain't none of it for free? We all pay in the end "one way or another."
     
    And... "It's over before you think it's over..."
     
    I'll take royalties on all of those songs, you're welcome. 
     
    And from my prison album?
     
    1. You don't have to push back like that, I love you either way.
    2. Don't drop the soap.
    3. Do you want to be the husband or the wife?
    4. Don't ask, don't tail...
    5. Just call me angel (cellmate) in the morning baby.
     
    I'm sorry for that right there Lord, and please be with the Pygmies in New Guinea.

    Another nice job!   
     
    I do agree that the reverb is a little high for the type of tune it is.   I picture something tighter and drier, almost a bit New Orleans-y.   With a slightly punchier kick drum (bass sounds good to me).
     
    The guitar work is excellent once again.
