I Love the song, I Love the Mix, I Love the Vocals...Please don`t take this song away.

Janet, thanks for having a listen.  I've been blessed with all the good suggestions, which only makes it harder to decide.  Luckily, I can do multiple versions and try them all!

alkie, thank you so much for your comments.  And, thank you for introducing me to The Tea Party.  I can't get enough of them, and I play "Psychopomp" almost daily.  That's why I love this  forum so much.

Solid tune, Lynn... killer groove.  The bass part deserves to be prominent in the mix, but (caveat here- I listened on my pc speakers) seemed a bit too out front to me (again... may have been the speakers).  Loved it all the same.

Phil, thank you for you time and comments.  I'd be curious to know what it sounds like on your headphones or studio monitors.  I will pay attention to this on the next pass.

Hey Lynn...man, when this first began the marimba groove instantly reminded me of Oingo Boingo -- so I liked it from the first :)  Very good song and recording -- my only only nit is that the drums need some eq or something to bring them out a tad -- singing is great as is the guitar -- I do agree with some other comments re: sparsing out the arrangement a bit, but that's a small nit.  I enjoyed this :)
 
Oh, thanks for your comments on my song Til Love Steps In  -- much appreciated.

Hey, Lynn. This is a great song. Very nicely done!

Sounding sweet, really pro!!

Peace Ben

Allan, thanks for listening and replying.  There will be an update coming soon.  Good to hear from you.

Charley, I appreciate your comments.  A song like this could easily be written for horns.

Ben, thank you for your kind words!  Don't be a stranger.

Lynn, Great tune! Mix is great but feels a little cramped. I think it's what someone else said about the compression. When the middle opens up it "feels" better. Xylophone made me keep checking my freaking iPhone, ha ha. Love the vocals and I really like the idea of building the tune up with a sparser beginning. Regards, Dan

While I can't give you any mixing advice, I know what I like and I like this song... alot!
