The Ghosts of Machu Picchu

I wanted to get some feedback on a new song. Both musically - done in Sonar X3e PE ["real instruments" were a nylon string guitar, uke and fretless bass - several hardware and virtual synths] and lyrically: Does it make sense to you? Thanks a lot in advance, Ron

    neat lil tuneage...I think the bass was a bit forward but everything else in the mix sits well...
     
    Nice work!

    The lyrics make perfect sense to me .although I don't know where Machu Picchu is at. It is a well written song in my opinion and a good mix. I agree that the bass is a little bit out front, everything else sounds fine.

    Nice lyrics.  Bass is a tad hot.  I would like more nylon guitar.  Reverb on lead vocal may be overly dark and too long IMO.
    I like the feel.  
    Good job!

    I like this Ron.  The bass sounds okay to me but if I heard it with the bass dropped back a tad, I would probably agree with everyone else's statement about it.  Lyrics made sense and you played it all well.  Nice stuff.

    That was different...  Nicely done, and +1 to the lyrics.  I think you pulled it off well.

    Its on the edge of humoristic but you do it so well so it becomes serious, well done.
