One more thing - SoundCloud
I cringe when I listen to my tunes on SoundCloud.  I have no idea as to why this one translated OK.  I upload my waves with a peak level of -1.1db 
IMO SoundCloud  should give us 2GB of space and let the user decide on the quality of mp3 he wishes to upload and not automatically crush it to 128.  ReverbNation sounds crushed too.
 

Sounds great, John!  Everything seems very "natural", and the song is very strong IMO.    I'd still like to hear the vocals ride a little above in spots ('cause they sound really good) but otherwise it feels right IMO. 
 

This is a really cool song! Great work :D 

well crafted song.  I would push the vocals a bit more in the first third, they sound a bit tentative. 
 
Nice changes, solid playing, sound really the best at 2;35.  Transfer that feeling to the first half and you have a hit.  Backing vocals are nicely done.  You are good.
 
Very nice

Thank you, Steve, Frugaard, and Jesse!

I think I will go back and listen to the vocal level again but I'll wait awhile until my ears are fresh. When I listen to it on all different devices it seems like the vocals are right there but I know the lyrics. I've posted it on Facebook too and no one mentioned any issue but I trust you guys more.
I tried to sing the song with resolve. Sort of mentally beaten. Like I finally have to admit, "Alright already, your right, I have always loved you!" Most definitely beaten with, "When you were gone from me it was plain to see,..."
