    Cool song and I liked the mix - your voice reminds me of Peter Gabriel.  The song works well without drums.

    Not bad I do wonder if the middle eight could do with a change of feel as it is all a bit samey 

    This vocal 
    "
    On these summer nights you .. dream of walking beside her ..
    Then she's laughing .. as you tell her she's beautiful ...
    (Slow build + harmony)
    Those perfect boys look with envy in their eye's as you kiss her ..
    (Lightening strikes as the dream ends and morning arrives)
    Your world explodes and the dream slips away.
    With the ringing in your ears, (Rain fall)
    Telling you another day
    Has begun …..."

    Just bring up the tempo and a slightly harder, edgy, feel, vibe and sound.

    Many thanks guys for your time...just a thing Wookiee I entirely agree but this was recorded some 15 years ago on my Tascam 688 Midi studio and all I have is this stereo version, it started as a throw away but I found it again and although the Misses hates it I just wondered was my pears thought ... so thanks for your input (Might re-do it now just to wind her up Ha Ha)
    All the Best

    Was that Tascam a tape format or digital?  Very smooth sounding mix.  Did you mix this "in the box" or export the tracks to a PC based DAW?
     
    I like this tune.  Very dreamy.  Looking back on pre adolescent love, I can relate.

    Johnbee ... It was ( and as I've still got it )  is 1/8th cassette tape running at twice the speed of an ordinary cassette. Unbelievable sound with eight tracks ! In it's day cost me £2500.00 but I loved it and have another one purchased off Ebay as a donar machine. If your interest holds out here's a link on YT ( https://youtu.be/DMOq_zdYSfQ ).
    I have various O/B gear and used this although I mastered it later using Cyberlink's Audio Director though didn't have to do much to the mix. I think the SPL Vitalizer was a great addition to the overall sound ... hope this answers your question.

    Hi ,
    Good fun listening to this song...
    Not sure you will go up high in the charts with it but one can hear your signature ...
    Thanks for sharing.
