[ FoggyMind The Band ] Keely Lane did most of this, I wrote lyrics and popped them into the backing tracks, My pitchy vocals (as planned) and I did the buried leads. Mixed and mastered by me. Issues?

Thanks!

Enjoyed hearing this one very much. I can't help you on the mix, because I'm trying to figure that stuff out myself, although I really like your vocals and style on this song. Maybe raise the vocals a bit and get some of the air sound of it, not sure how you do that, maybe someone could chime in and help on that. It's really hard to hear some of your vocals and words on the verse at times, I can't really make them out at times. 
 
I wanted to say, as for your lyrics on this song, just a suggestion on the lyrics that I think would make it more interesting. You say in the song "All I want to do is Drive" and after that rather than saying "Take a little Drive", maybe say "Take a little Ride, Take a Little Ride, Take a little Ride with me, oh what a journey". Makes more of a journey type of song for all instead of a solo trip. Just a suggestion and a thought. 
 
I really like this one a lot, never heard your music before but I enjoyed hearing this one very much. 
 
Keep on keepin' on!

Mix wise I could not hear the vocal. Listening on Sennheiser HD600 headphones.
 
The backing tracks are well done. 
 
This feels like a song that the vocals should be right up front in your face to get the message/story on first listen.

Bapu's right, where is the vocal?

This has a nice catchy feel to it!  I like your delivery on the vocals and agree with the comments above that they should be brought out front a bit more.  I don't believe that I have heard your music before but I do indeed like this one.  In a weird way I get a bit of a Car's feel to this.

^^^ this.
 
The singer must have been a bad boy, 'cause he's banished to the stairwell. Free the Singer!!!
 
I liked it all the same. Wouldn't really change anything else in the mix, which is extremely good. I've rarely heard better control of hi hats and sweet jangly guitars.
 
The end fades out too quick. Why even have a fade ?
 
cheers,

Thank you! :) Your complement to change in the lyrics would work grate! Though at the time, more less a year ago...   The lyrics are within my style at the time. I pick the words more as the cadence withing the meaning and my mood. :) 
 
Just as a note... The lyrics are about not wanting to be... ? but to drive my own motivation hopefully to for each person to rise from there negative baggage and drive there own soul and we can all ride together but as individual in peace.

HEY Bapu!
Nice to hear from you! 
Yes! I agree with you on the lyrics. lol But I can't help myself. ha!
As they end up as they do, as more about the abstract art of it all, to pull up what I liked at the moment and if I liked the guitar then that over plays the words. It really is too funny that I can't mix it better. I really don't even know if it's a choice or an excuse.
Thankyou!
Peace my friend!!

This was 90% Keely Lane's Creation! I asked him what he was thinking when he brought the music to me. he said cars because he had just changed a tire... lol
Keely is a great local drummer in the Twin Cities who is in at least 3 bands at anyone time. The way of who I am, wanting his music and drums to stand out as well as how I mix led to the outcome. So as I said earlier, I did lyrics, vocals and lead gtr, then more less buried them. ha!  I think many will understand this thinking, wrong as it my be. ha! 

Many thanks to all for the comments! 
 
Peace!

Though YES! I am a BAD BOY! ;)
