Thanks James! The reverse guitars were an attemp at making the song sound mysterious for the subject matter.

Actually I didn't really think of the 60's, I hear sort of a U2 soundscape.
Big like to this one.

Johnny,
Thanks. Yes, I can kind of hear a little U-2 soundscape.

Sounds real good to me. I caught an Al Stewart vibe , especially in the vocal treatment if not the tone so much.

John, this is a really good song, and you and your crew have done a nice job recording it too. I have no real crits, but if you do want to shorten the tune I do think it could be done. I know because I've had to take the knife to one or two of mine, and it made them better songs. Just a thought.

Steve and Phil Thank you.
Yes, I do have shortened versions in mind. I had a lot of fun with this so I let it play out. I just enjoyed the vibe I was getting and couldn't stop... It was originally going to be a fade that would have chopped off 30 sec.

Hi John,
This sounds really good to me. Lots going on and the stereo soundstage is full to the brim, but everything works just fine. It's one of those songs that you could listen through a couple of times and hear new bits here and there.
Recording sounds real sweat, which I think helps to get that great sound and mix. I'd say, top notch production overall.
cheers

Wookiee and Andy,
Thanks for listening. I'm glad you liked it. It's an interesting sound stage that just happened. Sort of a vintage vibe. When I hear it, it sounds relaxing to me. This is one of the reasons why I let it play out to 5:33.

Great song, nice mix and vocals.
You could try giving the vocals some additional "attack", making them "snappier" with additional compression.
Other then that, it sounds perfect.
Congrats on a great song! :)
