This song is in the same aquatic theme as my last post.  However, it is not a Surf song or an instrumental.
It is a song just for fun but with a caution.
 
As always, comments, crit.'s, suggestions, etc. are appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Interesting. Kind of a bit of surf, a bit of classic rock/psychedelic. Some good performances. The guitar tone and playing fits well with the song. I like the sound of your drums, though I thought they sounded a bit low in the mix. 
I smiled when you said, "Gotta a big mouth, too."

Definitely a for fun song. Was that a nod to the Jaws theme starting around 0:27 or did I make that up?

Freddy, this is very cool, and in my opinion experimental.  I like the guitar tone with the tremolo, and the backing vocals are nice nice nice.  I really like this.  Way to step out Freddy.

Hey, Freddy,
 
It's always great to hear another one of your classy original rockers!
 
This is really well written, played and sung with your tasty, trademarked Freddy guitar work, and a cool touch of a psychedelic vibe thrown in for good measure.
 
"Soupy Surf" that came up right after it on your Soundclick was also a really cool surf rocker with a fun Vintage 60' vibe.
 
Great stuff, buddy, have a super weekend!
 
Bob

Hi Freddy - you've got some great sounds going on here. You've captured a great sound - a bit of mystery to it. Your playing and vocals have really come a long way since the early days. This is a great song Freddy.

Thank you Sean.  I appreciate your listening and thanks for the comments!!!  I'm very glad that you liked it.
 
Hi Bjorn.  I wish I were that creative but any similarity to Jaws is just a happy coincidence.  Thanks for listening and for the kind words.
 
Thanks Jesse.  I was having fun with this song and it put itself together rather quickly.  Thanks again for listening and commenting.
 
Hey Bob.  It has been a while since I have seen you on the forum.  I'm glad that you are back and I hope everything is well with you!  I appreciate your kind comments and encouragement.  I had fun with both of these songs and that always makes them easier to to do. Thanks again!
 
Hi Mark.  If I have improved, it is mostly because of the great advice and help I have gotten on this forum.  I just gave a listen to your recent post "Dirty Snow".  This is a terrific number and I love the funky First Nations sound.  Excellent stuff my friend!!  Thanks for listening, the kind words and encouragement.

I like the bendy vocals! Good choices! I'd bring them up in the mix. Why not?
 
Guitars are playing great parts. I like the groove. I think the intro could stand just a bit more editing for timing of a wonky strat lick, unless you are going for wonky?  :)   Your background vocals and main vocals, do they have the exact same vocal treatments? You might vary the processing on the bgv's to differentiate them a little more.
 
I also got into "Soupy Surf" which is very nice indeed.
 
cheers,
-Tom
