This is a well produced song and a very clever video. Are you the Alex Shirley in the credits? I've noticed that you have a habit of posting very good videos. Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right. This is very entertaining and deserving of a wider audience.

The vocal seems a bit muffled to me. I wish they were clearer. Probably just needs to HPF @ ~200Hz? Listening on Sennheiser HD600s.

Very cool song, arrangement, playing and video. This is worth a remix. Look at doing a master of this by looking at the final stereo mix and then tweak to taste. Highs are shy and kick is really not there. Great job.

I really liked it. I agree with a couple others that the vox could come up just a tad, though it is acceptable as is. The lead guitar tone could have more guts. It seemed like a fly buzzing around my ear. Don't get me wrong it was good but that's what I would change a bit. I liked how it panned. Fun to watch. Reminded me of a few of my drives before I quit drinking 26 years ago. LOL Overall a good piece.

Nice mix and video. I think the vocals are a little quiet also and the solo guitar needs to come up in volume. The piano is a little quiet when it does its little ride part too ,to my ears. The solo guitar is pretty bright ,kinda piercing.
Excellent job on the mix overall and the video.

I have to agree with some of the comments above in that to me the vocals sound a bit muffled. Having said that great song, performance and video.
Nice one!!!!

Thanks for the comments. I can only assume the muffled issue is down to compression (youtube or otherwise) or vocal performance, it's mainly all live.It's supposed to be 'dreamy' by design! The masters sound a heck of a lot clearer than what you hear on YouTube. YouTube really does muck up the sound methinks esp when there is a lot going on. Cheers I appreciate it....
