Hi Gary, don't do anything yet... It may just be the 128kbps bitrate that SoundCloud converts your file to for streaming.
 

SoundCloud - ugh... SoundCloud crushes our tunes down to 128 with a hammer. If you would like to pull your hair out, AB your .wav and what SoundCloud delivers as a 128 mp3. There should be an option to upload what you want and play in that format.

The good news is your tune sounds great but I bet the wav file is even better sounding.

Great tune! Catchy hook. I commented on SoundCloud too. I like the, what sounds like, pulloffs at 2:58. I like the sound of them so much I would have jammed on them awhile but that's me. You did a great job. Vocal is crisp too.

Great song and a nice radio ready mix - I too am hearing the bit rate issues other mention - The top end sounds squashed and 'glassy' (in a bad way) - I Always upload 320K MPS's to Soundcloud and they normally survive their conversion pretty well.
 
All the best

Sounds well here, well constructed, well played and well captured, thanks for sharing.  (Second link from OP)

I like your song and 2nd mix. Good job. Your voice and vocals sound really good.

This could be a hit , Gary. Great tunesmithing, stellar arrangement except maybe the guitar ride is a bit long IMO. John Mellencampish except you are a better singer. Others have critiqued the mix so I'll just say congratulations on a terrific job on a top drawer tune.............Ron

Nice production..

I would ask if that lead guitar line that comes in towards the end, the one that's nice and loud, but pretty simple - is it just a HAIR flat? Might be my ears, might be worth a check.
 
I listened to your second version - holy cow, great groove. I liked the delayed, "telephoned" vocal effect, particularly on the "wrecking ball" part. Fits perfectly. Big compliments on the lead vocal, great singer!
 
One part you have is kind of a transition from verse to chorus - it's where you are going for a kind of "Eagles" "New Kid in Town" sort of vibe, with the tremolo? I don't think that tremolo helps the groove you have going. That is indeed a tiny, tiny nit to pick!!!
 
Want another even tinier nit? The ending, the electric guitar at the very end, the last chord, finger noises.
 
The acoustic guitar drives the thing from the background. The electric guitars in the background are very, very tasteful.
 
This is SERIOUSLY a good song. Thanks for the sharing of it. Once you get it polished, lemme know when you want my .99 cents.
 
cheers mate,
