A murky 80s-influenced midtempo tune with plenty of augmented and major 7th chords.

interesting stuff
 
the mix is very high end heavy, the vocals sound "tinny" because of it and the overall mix has a "harshness" to it.
 
I can hear the bass, but there's no substance to it, same for the kick
 
the vocals get overpowered during the chorus
 
just my opinions!

80's doing a Beatles cover band!
There is lots to like here. Your chords are as creative as the mix elements.
 
After listening, I can't remember hardly any words. A little too cluttered with awesome ear candy, kind of smothers the vocal experience.
 
I for one would leave the bass as is, and if you suck down some of the trebly bits, voila your bass will be there, waiting for you!
 
cool song!

Nice song Mark, but I have to agree with Beagle's and Tom's comments.
 
Good performance though
 
cheers

The mix could use some work - see the comments above.   But the song, arrangement and chord changes are really cool, I liked it. 
 

As noted above all that needs to be said has been said, will keep a furry ear out for the remix, thanks for sharing.

Wow! Beatles/ELO/Early Pink Floyd with something all your own all wrapped up in a single meal! Great tune! Really want to hear the vocals more, they sound really nice! I would buy this record.

I agree. I think I referenced a Howard Jones song or something like that. And that one may have been even thinner. The kick and bass I let be kind of 'pillow-y' because even though it was an 80s ripoff, I didn't want it TOO 80s. Yes, the vocals are overpowered.

Thanks!

Thanks Tom. You're right. It's a bit swirly in the lead vocal area. I'm self-conscious about singing and don't mind letting the vocal get smothered a bit ;)

thanks again,
Mark
