Hey, Tim,
 
Nice job on this beautiful song with a great message!  Excellent vocals and nicely textured harmonies that blend really well with the keyboards.
 
Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
Bob

 Thanks Warren, I have taken the comments to heart and made a few tweaks here and there....I don't think I'm finished yet ;)
 
Herb, The setup you have is probably what the real world listener will use or something similar. I took the strings down a few db. Not in all places but I used automation to get them closer so they hopefully don't over power so much.\
 
 Thanks James, yes I believe I need to think more like a string player when playing string parts on keys.I see what you mean. This probably isn't my last mix on this. I'm closer I think but after uploading it and listening to it I'm hearing things I don't like. I appreciate you listening and commenting.
 
Alkie, yeah man I can see from your avatar that you have done a live thing or two as well. Thanks!
 
John, Thanks. I seem to only have time for "quick takes" lol.
 
 Hi Danny, I appreciate your listen and critique here. I think I may have tried in vain to get this right. I might need another go at this. I reduced my mains to -7db and then went into what I thought was a pretty mild setting in Ozone 5.It seemed ok before I uploaded but it's still squashed.  Even though I went in with a lower signal I think I still pumped it up too much. I guess I'm going back to the drawing board asap.I'm sorry to take so long getting back to read these. I played with the verb and I think I might have also dried it up too much on the tails. I should have left well enough alone and done as you suggested. I'll follow up with your suggestion.
 
Thanks John, Hopefully my takes in the future will be a little more in depth .I actually tracked through a cobalt guitar mike lol.
 
Walt I appreciate it. Thanks for listening.You might be interested in what I have in the pipes. I am drawing a blank on the completion, still in the composition stages so don't listen too closely to the mix..only a little over a minute so far-   https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30861263/Furter%2Cmp3.mp3
 
Galtieri Brothers- Thanks for listening.
 
Thanks Rimshot. I'm not sure how it came out sounding the way it did considering :S
 
jsars, This really has given me something to ponder. I'm going to see what I can do.Thanks!
 
Wookie- As always I am glad you listened and commented. I have been following your recent developements on soundcloud. Good stuff!
 
Hi Bob, wow thanks!
 
 I'll take  these suggestions and try to make them work. I tried on some of it but it didn't quite happen yet. Thanks all of you!

Hey Tim - this is sounding like a good start.  Reminded me of a Bond theme at first (especially the horns), with a lot of good tension.
 
If you're looking for some ideas... I think it needs a "B" part with some space, and a big drum beat.  Maybe some distorted dark harmony vocals a la Daren/MRI?  Some big stabby synths.  And an explosion or a bit disintegrator or something like that. ;)  Looking forward to hearing what you do with it!
