Old song, finaly recorded

This song really pops from my speakers which makes for a very pleasant listen.  Every element is easily heard and well panned.  The vocals shine and make for a very good pop song.  It sounds like you put a lot of work into this, and I give you a  well deserved thumbs up!

Excellent melody, and really excellent harmonies! Memorable treatment of these. Your singing definitely puts me in the mood of some pretty classic '60's pop, which I quite like.
 
For me, the background electric guitar got a little samey throughout the piece - you might drop it out more.
 
And the snare sounds like you have really spent time on the reverb, but it kind of gave me a "recorded in a stairwell" feeling, which I could see fitting the mood/era of the piece (1960's) - my ears in 2015 wanted the snare to be drier. 
 
very nice work, I can totally relate to "I wrote this years ago, just getting around to recording it"  !!!
 
cheers.

I get the 60s vibe too.  The snare snaps just fine for me.  Your vocals are really good and I like the song.  Singing in the shower?  That's some good reverb.   I'm not sure how I feel about the 60s vibe cause that is less than commercial today.  BUT... really who cares?  A good song recorded in any era(or sounds like an era) is a good song. 

very cool production of a good song Roger - nice one

This number does have a '60's feel to it and I dig it!  The harmonies are great and the melody really draws one into the song.
Very nice work!!!

I like it. I think its modern, and your accent adds to the feeling of a contemporary pop. You did a good job with the mix. I don't think you need to have BGVs on every lyric though. Play with those a bit to get emphasis here and there and make specific stanzas stand out. "Wake up now" is really cute too.

Mix works well here and it sound like you worked hard on the production and song writing, well done, thanks for sharing.

One of the best songs I've heard on this forum. And I have heard a lot of good songs here.
 

Wow. That was kind words. Thanks a lot

Hi Roger
 
Considering you do not consider yourself to be a "vocalist," you have a very good voice, and I don't just mean that you sing "in tune."
 
Mix sounds fine, although I'm not really qualified to comment, as I'm not a mixing or mastering expert, by some distance. All the elements can easily be picked out and I wouldn't "tweak" a thing at this stage...
 
I eagerly look forward to your Kraftwerk inspired toon 
 
cheers

Thank you andy.
When I get my Kraftwerk inspired song finished, I'll post it here first

Love it. I also hear a 60s vibe (Byrds) in there. The references to 60s style are simply another way of saying - the writing is very good. The 60s was a period of musical innovation and experimentation - this song has it's own personality. It's well recorded too - good performances. I like everything about it. You're taking your own path and it's refreshing. Great job.

Thanks a lot. Yes I like melodic popmusic from the 60s, even if I was born in the middle of the 70s
All the kind words warms my musical heart

Yeah, totally getting the 60's pop vibe here too, at least during the vocal sections - your voice + FX really has "that" era about it.  I also really like how you're going up to falsetto and back down, really smooth.   Musically it's a bit more modern but it still fits well.     Nice!
 

Thank you, stevec.
So much positive feedback on my singing. I didn't expect that. Maybe I should sing more :-)

  Excellent song and production.  The harmony blend you use reminds me of the Moody Blues songs.  Very creative beginning and ending.  I hope to hear more from you.

Thanks jimfogle.
I always appreciate feedback, and especially when it is positive.
I'm working on several songs which I hope to finish soon , but I would have liked more time available to spend on music.....
