I have reworked the BGV's on this one a little. Hopefully they are a little smoother now than on the original mix.

Nice one guys.
I thought the panning on the guitars was maybe just a bit too wide on the first verse. Then they became more jelled.
If I were mixing it, I would raise the lead vox just a tad (maybe 1-1.5db).

Nice tune/work! Love the clever lightness of the piano vs the heavy guitar distortion. The drums sound real and in studio. I questioned it before I read your credits.

Hey John- Thanks for listening. Glad you like this one. I agree that the drums came out really nice on this one.
We started with my overdriven guitar track for this song and the guys just added tracks to it. I really liked the keys tone that Reece added to go with the guitar as well.
Thanks again for stopping by and commenting.

Mike, this is a well crafted song and reflects your steady improvement over the years. Boy, I think we've all benefitted from this forum over time. The best thing I like about this song is the change in chord progression from the verse to the chorus. It elevates the chorus and makes one sit up and listen. You and the guys are doing very good work these days, and I look forward to hearing more!

Lynn- thank you a bunch for listening all of these years and following my progress. Yes, this place has been good to us both, as I have been impressed with how you have developed over the years, also.
This one was one of those songs that came together well.

I listened to this the other day and could no think of anything meaningful to say about it. This mix is much better.
Thanks for sharing.

Agree with Phil, this is 'well-crafted' indeed. I really like that almost celeste-like keyboard sound against the heavy guitar.

Bump... sounds good, guys. I like the arrangement/instrumentation dynamic between verse and chorus, works well. Keys blend with guitars also works nicely,

Good song, guys! I kind of agree with Ed. Started with something pulling at me (panned guitars?) and then came together. I didn't know you sang, Michael!

Steve- Really pleased that you liked this one brother.
Andy- Thank you for listening and commenting, really happy that you liked this one.
Warren- Thank you as well for taking the time to listen and comment. Yep, been singing for a while now...though I have never claimed to be a vocalist. You may remember me as Makeshift; I never really liked that name and switched to my own.

Gents,
Really excellent work. Mix is generally really good. I thought the guitars were slightly too loud during the 1st verse, the 2nd verse was much better mix-wise.. Might also consider a tambourine or something during the chorus to add a little more rhythmic interest. Vocals are really good as is the rest of the performance. Like the song too.
Regards

Hey Mark- Thanks for listening and commenting, Bro. There is really only 1 guitar, my crunchy electric coming out of the left channel, all the way up to the first Chorus. Once everything else enters the mix at the Chorus, it probably sounds like it balances itself out. I was going for a minimalist intro. Really pleased that you like the song, that counts for a lot.
