I like this, well written, nicely performed and captured, there was one bit where you seemed to scream "Messing up again" where the vocal sounded to me like it was breaking up and strained, I think it was the first time through.
Other than that a nice mix, perhaps a little more room around the vocal but...
Thanks for sharing and thanks.

Great songwriter! The main motif is *worth doing* and pleasant. I really liked the message. I might have added a two guitar harmony solo somewhere, (I may have missed it) not sure why but it seemed to call for it. :D:D

Vocals really stand out! Nice job . . . I like the mix of elements, it's coffeehouse metal.
For the intro, you might try adding some reverb to the string pads. And, while you are reaching for the reverb knobs, a little less on the snare? The snare programming? is a little samey, maybe flavor it up with some ghost notes, or do just sidestick on a verse?
I like the tasteful bgv's . . .
I would do something more than your current ending, it just kind of stops on a guitar note. I dunno.
so I don't think you messed it up . . .
cheers,
-Tom

This is another good song... I very much like what you've been posting!
Vocals sound great, and the mix has a nice rock edge to it. I agree with Tom about the snare, but for me it's only in the verses where it's apparent. During the louder chorus sections I'd like to hear the vocals pop a bit more, but that's a minor nit. I also liked those "tape stop" effects thrown in...

Thank you very much for valuable input! That "tape stop" effect is actually a free vst I found. It`s ment for creating a scratch effect, but it`s programable so I made it just slow down a couple of tracks. I think the plugin is named "Scratch"
