This is one of your best songs, Michael. It has drive, punch, and good performances. It's polished while having a raw energy that exudes from this. You guys are really hitting your stride.

Thanks Lynn!
As a Band, we are really starting to come together. Sean has written a great song here. His vocals are so well sung that it makes mixing them easy.
Glad you liked the song and thank you for commenting. Just the reassurance that we are getting better is very welcome.

I think Lynn nailed this one - it has a lot of energy and it shows. Yet it's still tight and well mixed. Good balance between the two.

stevec - Thank you for taking the time to listen and for the comment. Mike did a great job mixing this song, and also on comping the vocal tracks. - Sean

Just a note; when Sean speaks of comping the vocal, I actually did less than he probably realizes. Sean always lays down a Scratch Vocal Track. I wish I could lay down Scratches that sound this good. Many times in the past couple of years, I have mentioned that we could actually go with the scratch as the finished vocal, they sound that good. Typically though, he still goes for what he considers a Finished Vocal Track.
On this song, Sean also did a Scratch and a Finished Vocal track later. At mix time, when I compared the two, I mention to Sean that there were many parts of the Scratch that I actually liked better than the newer vocal. He graciously gave me permission to do some comping on them, though he hates to do that. In all honesty, I used about 75% of the Scratch track and only comped in a few phrases, that I happened to think sounded better. For me, it was the energy and fluidity of the scratch that I liked best. It sounded very effortless and more emotional.

Thanks everyone for listening and commenting on this! as Mike said above, as a band, we've really started working better together creatively, performance wise, production, it has all been "gelling" a lot more lately. we've been together for over 2-1/2 years now!
thanks for the comments on this song! it's a good one of Seans, and I think Mike did an excellent job with the mix on it. they both did great work on guitar, bass, drums. I just love working with these guys!
any comments are still welcome!
