Nice guitar accompaniment and vocals. I liked the aaaahs that seemed less background vocals but more of a vocal effect. You have some good stuff here.
Glad you liked the tune and I appreciate the positive feedback.

Very nice song, Dean, though I think the mix could still use a little work. IMO- the lead guitar could come down some, and I'd like to hear the lead vocal better... perhaps a combination of eq and gain. Overall very well done though.
Phil, thank you very much for the nice review. Would you say that perhaps the guitar has too much high end , or perhaps just needs to come down? Regarding the vocals...to my ear they are out front. Nevertheless, I do notice there are certain spots where they seem to get soft. As I mentioned in the header, "De-essing" this was difficult. There were a lot of trigger words that promoted the problem and I think perhaps some of the softness in the vocals is a consequence of using tactical deliveries on problematic words. The de-essing/eq can also rob certain frequencies that help put the voice more out front. I'll keep your suggestions in mind the next time I open this one up for more editing, and I thank you very much for telling me your reactions. It is one of the reasons I like posting here. Very constructive. Much appreciated!
Dean.

Very nice! I like the electric-fingerstyle guitar intro and the overall mood of the tune. Very cool.
Geeare 1, That's my new Martian Guitar. Well, it was new a year and a half ago. It came with those big fat heavy strings that are hard to play, but I like the tone so much I put myself through the torture. In fact, a friend noticed the original strings are still on the guitar and asked when I intended on changing them. Although I agree it is time to change them, I have a few songs I'm still editing and I really can't change the gauge of the strings at this moment. Well, anyway, I'm very glad you liked the tune, and I thank you for taking the time to comment and letting me know your reaction.
Dean.
