Excellent!

Thank you everyone for listening and commenting. 

I've been struggling with Shad's "small" adjective, trying to translate that into some actionable concept. Maybe it needs to be more aggressively compressed?

Well, Dave, you lost me on some of the technical stuff, but definitely not on the tune.  Well written, well arranged, performed and produced.  What else is there?  Excellent job on it.

good stuff Bit

Sorry for using such a lousy description Bit. I could not identify the specific area that was the problem for me, so I had to resort to a broad description in the hopes it would lead to the right target. It might be compression on the low end, but it might be EQ. The tone is there, but not the energy, and that may be due to cutting too deeply into the bottom end and cutting out harmonics below 85hz that bring bass to life.

You don't do many songs...that I get to hear anyway..... but the ones you do I like.  

I like it. The last I remember hearing was the one called "Soldier". 

halfway sounds good.... no major issues for me...I'm casual listening tonight.

The mix is really clear and I think the bass is just fine. Maybe the vocals could be more forward and retain fullness. Sounds like they were HPF a little to high. Just my opinion though as this may have been your intention.
 
Cool song!

Thanks for that insight, Dan. Just before I posted it I had in fact slid the HPF cutoff upward in an attempt to clear out some spectral turf where things were getting crowded. Maybe I did push it a little too far. Just the sort of thing you can close perspective on, where another set of ears can be indispensable. Cheers.

Loved the vocals on this and the first line sounds so good to my ears.

Wanted the lead vox to come in quicker though

Production is pretty flawless.

Nice one, bit.  And on my computer speakers I can't tell about the bass load - the bass itself sounds good and cuts, which might be the problem some have w/ it.

And the vocals sound "inbetween" - not quite the various telephone effec often used these days, but not quite full range either.  Id' definately try more (and less) extreme settings to see if either helps.

Good song - it really moves.
