    Catchy. Drums are presented really well. That rhythm guitar is mixed rather low mid, maybe add a bit of air to it?
     
    I think your existing bgv could use some polishing. I was kind of hoping for some bgv very lightly supporting you in the verses. Oooh and aaaaah stuff , maybe female?  I think your main vocal is very listenable, good job!
     
    I caught the next song Gentle hours of evening - liked it a lot! In that song, you've  given it the lighter bgv I am referring to! Nice one.

    emaraldsoul - Thanks for listening - I think your idea of BGVs on the second verse is a good one - thanks.

    What's BGV?  I liked this alot.  You're a talented songwriter, doug.  I think the whole mix could use a little more air.  The midrange is kind of muddy.  This happens to all my songs after they've been streamed.  Virtually all my stuff on soudcloud sounds different from how I originally mixed it.

    eph221 - Thanks for listening and your kind comments.  I agree with you regarding how songs don't quite sound the same once converted to streaming mp3 format.

    Nice song Doug. I would take some of the bottom off the rhythm guitar. Maybe add a high vocal harmony all throughout like the early Beatles. ("She Loves You" etc.) That would put the icing on the cake. Good job though man. You should be proud.
