Daryl,
Good song and nicely produced. I think you need to bring up the lead vocals a bit. Also, the Pizzi strings in the intro are a bit loud. Otherwise, it sounds really good....
Regards

I like it. The production is great, owlcity meets enya. I ike the different topic
Marks point is good, you could up the vocal a db and down the hihats/shaker a db.

A nicely produced song, quite a catchy tune. Good stuff.
I do agree those pizzicato strings could do with coming down a notch, not much mind you.

Very, very clever and witty. I like this mix and your vocal performance. You have a knack for writing good, melodic tunes that fit your voice like a glove. Nice job, Daryl!

nice song and sounds great.
agree the left hats are a few tenths too loud, taking that down might let that vocal through enough.
they sound great, but personally would take a hair down from any reverb or compression, or add 0.1db at 5024 for some more presence.
would prefer any abrupt end to the fade out end, that's just my taste.
again nice song / sounds really good

Yeah, they're not really in the middle either. I like to think of this one as 'free form acid polka'

I just love your songwriting style, especially the vocals. I can hear a little high-up octave harmony with maybe a melodyne treatment to it? Mixed in really softly? pretty cool stuff! what are you doing up there? Is that Mrs Daryl?
I'd agree with the pizzicato strings coming down just a hair.
cheers, and write more songs please.

As always, very good stuff Daryl. Very catchy song and production is top notch. As others have said, the hi-hat's the only thing that needs a little lowering......other than that, Bravo!!

The thing I enjoy about your tunes is you have a very distinct sound, lyrics that are usually funny or have a twist.

Great lyrics... loved it! Production-wise it's exactly what I'd expect from you so need to comment.
I also have to agree with Lynn - "You have a knack for writing good, melodic tunes that fit your voice like a glove". Everything you do always sounds like it's perfectly suited for your vocal range and style.
