This is a song that I wrote and recorded about 12 years ago for my beautiful wife. The mix is way less than ideal. The acoustic drums need help, and the 12 tracks of violin that I played on it toward the end are out of phase(don't listen in mono, they'll disappear!). I would love to remix this, but the tracks are long gone. I still like the song though, and I hope you do too. Any comments are welcome.

Please realize that I know the mix sucks!

Sounds OK here Bob, not sure about the echo on the lead vocal seems to be a little to long in places.  Nice guitar tone on the lead, sweet whistle too.  Heartfelt vocal performance, thanks for sharing.

The mix didn't sound bad - really impressive lead vocal - that's what stood out to me.

Thank you Wookiee! I agree with the vocal delay. I wish I had the original tracks, so I could fix some things. Thank you for listening, and for the kind words!

I really like the vocal and the guitar work is very good. I always appreciate lyrics that are sincere and heartfelt too.
Not sure if you need the strings around 4:00 tho.

Thank you Bjorn! Glad you like it! You're probably right about the violins. It was just a personal choice I made at the time. Can't change it now. Thanks for listening!

I like the  chords, the prominent full bass that doesn't overwhelm, the wide panned acoustic guitars, and the vocal performance is suh-weet!
 
The power-chording electric guitar around 1:30 is a bit loud, just a hair loud in my opinion.
 
The delay on the vocal I actually liked. This is for me a late '70's song, and I don't mean a little bit. This would sit perfectly on a Boston album. Don't ya think?
 
Violin section was the only reach, for me it didn't mesh but I get what you were shooting for there.
 
By your description, I was expecting utter crap - but I really like it a ton!!!
 
cheers,
-Tom
