I like this except the drum sounds, (performance is fine). They don't sound like they are part of the same song (to me).

Piano overpowers the vocals IMO. Could be dropped back a tad.

Actually, I'm going to give it a go dropping the piano 1 or 2db. Thanks for lending your ears!

As said your vocal is outstanding and although this song reminds me of one I can't yet recall, I think the mix is correct and the drums ...err maybe a little high, but for me I wouldn't change anything it's just picky ... so really good all 'round hope it does well for STUDIO 10 (Can you keep the noise down a bit, I can hear you in Westward Ho!)

Aye, will try dropping drums 1 or 2db - after repeated listens it may be worth a tweak! Might give you some peace over in Westwood Ho.

I thought it was very well done. My only suggestion is to maybe use a bit less compression / limiting. It's really only noticeable during the chorus.

Vocals were quite nice. Wish i could sing even a little bit.

I'll have another listen to see if there's any audible pumping I've missed :-)

It reminds me of 'I'd Rather Go Blind', especially the verse melody. Great performances though.

I can see where you're coming from there!

It's not pumping Doug. It's more of a hard limiting issue.

By the way, I bought an MXL V63M about ten years ago. It's probably the cheapest mic I've ever owned, but it's the one I use the most. Sometimes cheap is better.

Yes that's it ! thanks Jyemz ... and I agree it's good bit of performance and my comment still applies

( I'm gonna be able to sleep knowing that ... clever Dick!!)

Very good composition and the usual great mix...you either have good ears or you don't and you got 'em!

Really good pop/rock song. Fat mix and everything was well performed. Some of the bass lines were pretty sweet...

I find it interesting that every Thursday you and your friends get together to come up with a new piece of music. Nice job on everything done here, including the songwriting and production.
