Sometimes life is hard.... as in....[updated mix 20 March 2014]

Nothing Is Easy
 
Geeteers = Jamesg1213
Floot - Psalmist35 (Rich)
Otter Schtuff - Bapu
 

So..................?
The mix, the song, the ..............??
I think the mix needs a little work yet, as to me the cymbals not loud enough sometimes, and the bass too loud and the voice a little loud. Well, just needs a variation of the mix but the song sound fine with all the parts in it including the flute.
Not familiar with the same at all, so that's about it from my point of view, and remember I may be in "space" or lost in it.
 

Youze twoos was helpful in making it happen.
 
Fanks loads.
 

Overall it ain't half bad  but I think a little remix with fresh ears would not go a miss Ed.
 
This is of course my subjective perspective.
It all sounds a bit down the middle which causes a little cloudiness, the flute is nice but misses that breathy quality from Mr Tull.  The guitars are cool and the bass tone is nice.  Ed even manages to sound a little Tullish on the vox.  Perhaps a little slap on the kick might be nice, the bottom thud is there but I can not quite hear the slap. That could however be because it all sounds a bit down the middle.
 
Thanks for sharing guys keep up the good work.

Excellent work on one of my old favorites, boys!!!
 
Monster "Tull" guitars, James, and super job on the solos, my friend!  Rich was fantastic on the flute, although I think the flute could come up just a little bit in the mix volume-wise, and Ed did a dynamite job on the punchy bass, drums, keys and vocals!
 
Great job all the way around, guys!
 
Best Wishes!

These old ears may be tired. I'll take a second listen to the flute level Bob.
 
Thanks for dropping by.

Through the courtesy of his master Sir Bapu orthat Ed my furry ears have been enlightened and have to say what you get with Soundclod is not what you give.

Sometimes I feel like a monkey...

Sounds live. The drums, my favourite bit. Of course, being a bass player, I just loved the solo.

Very nicely done guys. Old Jethro has been a favorite of mine ever since they come on the scene. You all did a great thing hear and it all sounded really great. Enjoyed the listen.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Thanks for the input.

I still have a few Tull albums, you know, on vinyl.   
 
Nicely done.  I agree with some of the mix comments above - bring the flute up (it is Tull after all) and the vocals might be a little loud, but overall I enjoyed it.
 
 
I gots to visit here more often - I forget how much good tunage there is.   And monkees.

I was all set to make a joke about sucking is easy, but I can't cause it don't.  No, none of it.  The guitars and flute sound great.  Those are the best vocals I've heard from you, Ed.  All the other stuff is good, too.  

Thanks "monkey boy".

I know that Living in the Past is in 5/4 time, this song feels like it has a different time signature as well, but it may just be the unconventional beat. Very ambitious undertaking, well done Ed. What was that flute VST? I can recommend a few that you might like better.

What about the "Well done" part? Why focus on that other part? Take a compliment man! So if you're on the red carpet and I tell you your gown is beautiful, but make a less complimentary comment about your shoes, it's all bad? Your cleavage is legendary btw (from what I hear) But that's not a slam at your hips? Accept the fact that you have a great rack.

Hi Gents, ambitious tune, sounds you guys had fun.
