I can relate!
Sweet song, performances and mix!
Love the section at 2:30. Sounds like the confusion of life's objects being thrown at you. Very creative!

Yep...I can relate totally to this one :)
 
Love this.Great classic rock feel to it.
 
 
I'll tell you what I heard with the mix but I need to tell you why...All I have where I am is ear buds. I hear a lot of mids...more than anything else.Probably sounds great on a full system. That's kind of common with earbuds, as a suggestion maybe bump up the bass and kick in the higher ranges so the song at least has a small "thump" on earbuds and laptop speakers.
 
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for listening & commenting so thoughtfully too, Tim - I'll definitely check the translation on a smaller system - It sounded good on my cruddy little Auditek computer speakers at work, but it may need a little tweak to translate on iPhone/iPad/earbuds - I'll follow that up.  Thanks!

Life does get in the way sometimes, but then again if it didn't, you'd not have anything to write such cool songs about. I thought the vocal took some time to become established in the song (or the mix) but it was definitely the hero in the end. Guitar was ok too.

yea this was a real rocker...mix was killer...vox done very very well...love the overall arrangement. If I were a producer-type and were more interested in sales then artistic value, I'd tend to want to nix the 3 lil guitar parts as I think it takes away more than it brings to song overall. Please dont get me wrong, I write & produce just the opposite most of the time because I love not being boxed in....so I totally "get it". In the same vain I'd have you rethink the lead....and suggest that you got some killer licks in there and ask yourself does the quirkiness (the odd flow) of the lead add more than it takes away?   The strength of this tune (with my production hat on) is that rollin down the road rock sound...the two pieces above kinda got me side-tracked. With all the above said this is one hell'of'a'tune! And you have some great talent in the booth and on the deck....great work!
 
Thanks for the share!
