@speedtom Do you think so? I did put in some hours on this one, so I'm really glad you like it! (And thanks for the OC comparison, I was listening to him a little more than usual a couple days before writing this one)
@notnat Thanks again, notnat. 2013 was a good ear for me brush up on production skills.
@LeadFoot Thanks a bunch for listening. I've always kinda liked a dry, up-front vocals sound for certain types of pop music. Thanks for listening!
@Leizer Hi, Leizer! The chorus vox is doubled and then panned a little bit... I liked the sound of it. I'll take a look at the drum kits, as that is definitely a possibility. I put a slight touch of reverb over the whole track to kinda glue it, so that may have something to do with that. And thanks on the chord prog., it usually is what comes to me first in songwriting.
@elix I thought about the same thing- the whole track is a little too sibilant. Glad you like this one, though :)
@rebel007 Thanks, rebel007. My primary goal thus far has always been to top my previous release, and I think I did it with this one :D
@jamesg1213 Thanks a ton for listening, James. I made the last 4 months of 2013 really heavy on learning mixing and composition and stuff, so I'm finally starting to accelerate.
@Scottytunes Haha, I've been compared to Davy Jones (and similar artists) quite a bit! That would definitely be a step in the right direction XD
Sorry I replied to everyone at once. Thanks to everyone for listening!
