This one takes me back to another time. Well done. My only crits are that the voc is too loud. Once brought down the bass needs to come up. Love the harmony. Nice work on this. Great ending too.



Thank you very much for you kind words and feedback! :)
Im a sucker for mixing the vocals loud and in your face, but i will consider your feedback.

Another good song... really getting that 80's synth pop vibe again.  Well done, everything sounds good.   Although I do agree with the John that the bass could be a little more present.

Hey Kloon. 
 
Ah, yes, take us back to the 80's - why not!?  
 
I am hoping you don't have some seriously masochistic inklings. I know it's art, I know, I know ... 
 
Good mix. Would like to hear maybe some more oomph in the kick/bass. Vocals are at a perfect level. Nice play with octave vocal lines ... good distorted hammer-quarter notes (no, no no no).  Very effective.  
 
Oh, I am glad the pain is not for real. Whew! Thanks for throwing that last line in there. Now we don't need to call the suicide hotline for you. ;-)
 
Great 80's capture though, if that's what you're going for.

Thank you very much Martin for that nice review. Really put a smile on my face. :)
It's really nice to have people interpret my lyrics, especially a song like this who is kinda vague (like most of my lyrics). ;)
 
Thanks again! :)

thank you for writing a new song from the 80's - it feels like I've discovered something great I missed 30 years ago!
 
Lyrics totally work, and the money is in the chorus as they say and your chorus is great. Super bgv's and the mixing is super clear.
 
I'd also take just a hair off of that lead vocal, it's great, very well sung, and in your face is where you need to be! But it's actually touching my face, so maybe just a hair down, I'd try .5 db reduction.
 
the other elements -synth, drum machine, cool pannd clicky delay thing - wonderful.
 
cheers,
-Tom

80's synthpop revival here we come, in a good way. Really enjoyed this track and the mix translates well on my surface pro 4 speakers. Great track.

Kloon have you heard of dirty loops?  They're my favorite band right now.  The have a song called *hit me* which I imagine had similar origins.  :D:D  They're kind of Jamiroquai meets Leslie Uggams.
