Really nice, catchy tune! And I love Sean's voice. I know it's cliche but the back up singers need to be a little fatter, like maybe with a doubler or something. Just a nit on a great song.

Fatter....I'm already 6'-4" and 226 lbs.  Thanks for listening and the advice, David. I will definitely take that into consideration. Yes...Sean doesn't sound like Bob Dylan. You should hear his voice on another song we are working on right now. Simply awesome.

I love this! Guitars sound great but they tend to bury the vocal just a bit in places, so maybe spread them out a bit more or drop the level just a tad.

Jammer- Thanks for listening Bro. I will take a listen and play around a little with the guitar panning. I am trying to keep all of Sean's excellent guitar work part of the focus as well.

Rockin! Everything sounds good here. The guitars and vocals are kicking some @$$ all around. Overall it does remind me a little of Styx.

Philz- Thank you much for listening and commenting. Really pleased that you like this song.
Steve- Rock on brother. The Styx resemblance has popped up on some of the previous songs as well. Sean, when he introduced the song to us, felt like the song had a very Petra feel to it. Some one on another forum, mentioned that likeness. I think the tone of Sean's voice, sometimes when he sings in a certain register, has a little bit of the Styx resemblance. Any way, thank you for listening and commenting, glad you like this one.

Thank you to everyone who listened and commented. I appreciate your time and input. This was a fun song to do, and it's really humbling and gratifying that everyone (so far) seems to enjoy it.

The vocal(s) "sticks to the speaker" too much for my taste. It could use a touch of a short plate reverb. Otherwise it's a nice production all the way around.

Jsaras- Thank you for listening and commenting man. I have a Valhalla Plate on the Lead Vocal right now, maybe just not enough for your taste. I come from an era of heavy reverb use. I have finally gotten used to a dryer, more modern style in reverb. Maybe I am not adding enough to this one though and I will certainly listen again after I give my ears a break for a while.
