On the song, I am hearing overtones of Marc Bolan, possibly even a little Sid. Am also hearing a little timing error around the 2:00 mark that little drum trip sounds off to me. Are you using Hats in this because I could not hear them. Other than that it does not sound bad here, others will correct me probably

It sounds like a good mix to my ears. Nice balance between things imo. You managed to get some sort of Simon & Garfunkel vibe going on those vocals and harmonies which is really nice. I like it!
As for hats Wookiee, I hear hats panned left so they are in there but more prominent in the latter part of the song. :)

Yes you are right I was wondering about the early section thanks for correcting my furry ears and brain

Thanks for listening fellas...I think this newer mix is way better than the one before. The hats are there softly. Wouldn't hurt to up them a tad.
I just played it through my old set of M-Audio BX5 speakers and was happy enough. But I have this ASUS laptop and holy smokes, it's a bloodbath listening to it there. Naturally, commercial music sounds rock solid on the ASUS. But for my stuff it swallows up the bass and regurgitates it in a terrible stream on moaning, bloated vomit.
I'm having trouble with vocals because I tend to double track or even triple track them, because a single vocal to me sounds so small. I'll have to ween myself off this practice.

I like it... It has a happy early 70's vibe to it, very sunshine-y.  Oh, and I liked the use of diminished chords during the outro. Perfect.

Thanks Steve. I like those chords too :)
I'm going to remix the whole thing though...now that I have 8" Yamahas...they've changed what I can achieve in mixing.
