How Are You Gonna Save Me

My January song is "How Are You Gonna Save" I think the lyric has something to do about going forward in life and not letting our emotion's beat us down. Also, it has something to do with those people that offer advise that really could care less.

    Hey Terry,
    Man, I was groovin' with the 80s vibe on this from the get-go :)  Couple of things stood out for me -- the mix seems to need some widening.  For instance, the arpeggio part on the chorus would sound great if it was spread 45% left and right in the mix.  Also, some background harmonies would really sound smooth.  Like the bridge part and the instrumental section after. Oh, and maybe pump up the drums some in the mix.  Like the ending too -- that chord.  
    Good stuff :)

    Good tune. As per ABull's comments, I think you might try some things with the stereo spread: maybe extend the strings a bit left and the piano a bit right. Also, you have probably heard it, but right around 42 seconds in there is a "blip" that is quite noticeable. I am going to listen again, and to some other of your tunes.

    Here's my new mix. Thank you for your thought's guys. couldn't get to those  background harmonies, but I will keep it on a burner. I hope I can pass with out them. Working on to many songs right now, just not enough hours in the day, week of month.
