Very nice song, Glenn.  It seems to be played well and the singing is nice.  It just seems to be too "bright" to me.  The mix of the instruments and vocal firts nicely and I love the tune.  It could just be a personal thing but I'd like to hear a bit more depth.  I hope that makes some sense.

Yeah, I have those things too.  How could either one of us get it right?   I would go by some of the other guys up here.  A good tune, though, no matter how bad the ears are!

Thanks very much guys. That's two for Too Bright.
I'll back it off a bit.
Thanks again

Thanks, I agree. I've added a bass and will repost.

I really liked the song.  It's very well written.  You should be proud of it!!  I agree with the other comments concerning the mix.  I'll be interested in hearing it when you repost.
 
Best of luck with your music.

Updated with bass and strings to add bottom and blending
Thanks for the tips guys

Wow.  This version is great!  Really cool. 

Glen, I've listened to you for several years.  Each new song you post just gets better by leaps and bounds.  This song is top notch, to say the least.  The lyrics are right on, and your vocals are sung with feeling which makes this song rise above the paint-by-numbers crowd.  I like the separation of the guitars and the subtle use of reverb(?) which gives the second mix more depth than the first one.  I think everything is EQ'd well and quite natural sounding.  My only suggestions would be to raise the volume of the bass line to just under the acoustics or the lead vocal, and pan the strings more toward the center so that they might be heard better.  The overall percussion could possibly come up a notch or two.  Otherwise, this is stellar.

 I really like this song and the added bottom end stuff sounds great. I really like the vocal on it too. Great job.

Must be listening to the mix with the added bass as the bottom end sounds like it has the weight.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Firstly, a great song it is! Your lyrics wrap around the arrangement very nicely. Your singing has plenty of actual conviction and emotion.
 
Mix-wise, the first thing I noticed is the phasey acoustic guitars. Is this comb filtering? Did you copy a part and then shift it around a little?
 
I'd bring the drums up - but the phaseyness extends to the hi hat as well. Is this a Soundcloud de-resolutuinizing down to 128mp3? It kind of sounds like 22. If that makes sense.
 
Still a great song shines through!
 
cheers,

Nice song!   I really liked the lyrics + melody, and the instrumentation supports it well.   Sounds fairly balanced here, with a good amount of punch for an acoustic based tune.
