I like the song a lot. Mix needs some work to really make it shine - vox and drums in particular. Love that lil break at 1:17.

I like the song. It's really good musicly. The mix is too loud and maybe recorded to loud.

Great tune!!!

nonat, thanks for taking a listen! I do tend to focus a lot on jumpy chords.

Thanks, paulo! I'll be doing a true scrubbing down of this track, because I honstely recorded, mixed, and up'd on the same day. I can def see what voice mixing needs doing. Anything specific you can suggest for the drumkit?

Hey, Gpima! Thank you for listening! In this case, the biggest overblow probelms were in my Amplification and my semi-refusal to do a lot of true mixing. In a couple of days, I'll have a remixed version up for your listening pleasure ;)

I think this is a very catchy tune!  
I listened to both mixes...the first one I found the vocals a bit too dry and sitting "on top", but good.
the second one seems kind of distorted, but the vocals are sitting in a much better place.

All in all I REALLY like this song...it is quite catchy and well done!

Thanks, cclarry! I can definitely agree- I didn't really take a ton of notice to the bit of vocal distortion that was reached. Guess I'll have to keep it in mind for future projects.

I am more into the songwriting than the mixes.  My partner handles that.  I like the song and am listening on good monitors and can't say what I would do differently.  I heard a distorted sound once but I was more listening to the song.  I get very scope locked on things and was locked on the song.  Good one!

Thanks a bunch, evdianepug! It honestly just occured to me that I haven't really discussed my songwriting in this thread at all (or any, for that matter)!
I personally think I have quite a way to go when it comes to lyrics.. Additionally, I'm really dry for the VACVACBC (or ABCABCDC) song arrangement, but I really want to explore new solutions. I'm also not great with staying in a a subject line.
In any case, this one came out really nice in my opinion, and I guess it was more of a lucky diamond-in-the-rough than anything.

Thanks again!

Nice little song here! 

My only nit is that the vocals are so up front (and somewhat distorted, I might add) that it makes the music sound like it's coming from another room. I'd drop the vox way down, anywhere from 4 - 8 db and see if you can get the singer and the band in the same room.

Thanks for taking a look, Scottytunes! I'll give it a shot, I'll definitely need this a bit more perfect if I want to put it on the album.
