Hello, I am looking for feedback on what would make this song/arrangement stronger. We are currently re-recording all of our songs and I thought this would be a good opportunity to get feedback, thank you so much! https://soundcloud.com/st.blingfree/02-need-to-say

Well, the recording is a mess and the mix isn't even a mix, and there are bad notes and guitars out of tune all over the place...but the song is great.  A little Modern English mixed with a grungy sound.
@:49 I would add another big distorted guitar right before you get to the chorus to add some tension.
@1:40 for the second prechorus add a guitar underneath doing a repeated 16th note chiming through.
@ the middle eight @2:05 needs something to alert the listener that the chorus is over and this is something different.
@2:55 bring back the snare and start hitting more cymbals...going just kick and hats for the last 50 seconds is probably not a good idea

Thanks jamesyoyo! I will write these down and try them! 

I agree this mix needs some cleaning up. Also agree with the added guitar at 1:40. I also agree that it is a great song. You have a lot of creativity and imagination. When this song ended it went to Kerouac's Song, Then Memory which are also fabulous. From what I have heard so far, I think you have some serious potential. Outstanding songs. I feel privileged to hear these.

Thank you Shad! 

You have a good song here, but Jamesyoyo has a point. He's very helpfull. The great thing about 2013, we can do thing alot better with a lot less cost. Stay with this song, I like it alot.
 
 

Thanks Terry!

You got some great advice here from a well respected member of the forum.  The song is good enough to go all the way with a stellar mix.  You're really quite close already.  I liked this song enough to listen twice, and I'll be back for more.

Thank you Lynn, I'm excited to start polishing it!

Bob,
 
Really good song.   Listened twice....     I think you have already received some good advice on the mix.   Certainly a keeper and worth some additional time to mix it better.
 
Regards
