As Lynn says, very infectious. I thought in most spots the mix was spot on. Maybe a fader ride on the vocals and drums just to give them that tweak at the times they need them. Just a suggestion, I like it the way it is though too.

love the feel of this tune...I think I would have kicked it right in and not had that lone guitar...cuz once she kicked in....it was stellar...
 
I think the main vox in the chorus needs something but I'm not sure what...a tad more or different compression as it sounds in a dryer space then the rest of the tune...
 
I really loved it!!




Hi the pogue. I appreciate your nice comments very much! I really did not take too much time with the lead vocal. I just held my SM58 in hand and gave it a couple passes. I was not good at keeping my distance exactly the same when punching in verse to chorus so you may be hearing more bottom on the chorus. 
I agree it could be cleaned up a little but not a lot! :)

Howdy rebel007. Thanks much for your kind words. I like the idea of fader rides and was going to do that to the lead vocal but now will consider for the drums as well. Good one! 
Whatever I do, I don't think I want to change much at all to this original. It just works on all my test systems.  Even the level of the lead vocal seems right on low volume, iPad and and cell phone using Apple earphones. Even the sibylance jumps out at me so I am not really sure if I will improve the presentation with adjusting it too much. I thing we are talking micro moves here!  
I love the feedback though because sometimes it is so hard to tell what is really going on until you guys chime in with your helpful comments. 
 
Thanks again!

nice tight arrangement!
good tempo, i like the rolling brushwork on the snare
 
i think the lead vox sits nice,
on the chorus tho, it is a little low in relation to the harmonies,
actually, as good as the harmonies are, 
if you just bring them down a touch during the choruses,
the issue with vox balance may just solve itself.

Great piece!
 
I would also bring the vocals a little more to the forefront.

Jimmy, This is some great stuff and like Lynn said has an infectious melody. Makes you want to get out of your chair and dance. Great instrumentation, vocals and mix!! Very enjoyable to listen to. Very nicely done.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
