Something I recorded last weekend and can't get the levels right-pretty typical for me, I guess.  Too much verb (I've been doing that intentionally lately, but it's probably too much), bass too low, or too high, drums too loud, ect.   Those are my disclaimers, I'll shut up now.
 
The vocals are a bit lilting, or dreary, during the verses, a bit more "up" on chorus and bridge. 
 
Thanks for any feedback, lyrics on soundclick page.
 
Thanks again
 
Robert Anthony Wake Me Up Please

Wake me up before you go go :-)

That piano sounds "off..." I'm not sure what I don't like about it, but it's like the verb, and lots of other things.

And there is too much verb, and that's coming from someone who is nortious for liking it too wet? So it's really too wet? Pull it back some.

And the EQ needs love.

But with all of that said? I enjoyed the song. It's mornful... And I like mournful music. You may want to try to vary the vox a bit on the verse to add some flavor, and less herion.

+1 - I like the song but the piano needs to have some of the attack brought back to it - too much wet and not enough dry.

I like it.
BTW, your avatar is my guitar. cool.

Sometimes the bass can be low to give a moody atmosphere. Same as the instruments are EQ's to be dark and not very bright. I think the approach to the mix is fine. Maybe use a better reverb? The arrangement grew on me as I listened. Very nice melody.

I believe there's a gem of a song inside this mix with a few tweaks.  You're getting good advice from above, and it would be easy to nail this.  However, sometimes songs can work well drenched in reverb (think Radiohead) if done properly.  You have good material to work with.

I think the voice could be louder along with the bass. I guess I am not asleep enough to really enjoy it, but if that is the mood well then it seems to be there. If the piano has the reverb then all the instruments should be along those lines where it is appropriate. I am not sure though that it may not put me to sleep though. Good luck on tweaking it more with the mix, and there is my two cents although the pennies may not be shiny.

Hey thanks for the comments.  Less heroin, that's hilarious Robby.  Yeah, Tim love those casinos- I have three, but one with a broken neck--don't drop it. 
 
Ok, now so I'm dialing down the verb on the piano, a little on the vox and pushing up the vox and bass a bit.  Part of my problem with this one was me trying too much- I actually had three reverb sends on the vocal- one an emt plate emulation, one called pancake, and valhalla frequency echo, with the emt predominant.  All instruments share a bit of the emt. 
 
Oh, Lynn, actually if you listen to Radiohead's last few albums everything is completely dry, except the vox, which is verrry wet.  Drums are bone dry, maybe a bit of verb on the guitars, but it's mostly delay,  and just some room from their multiple keys.
 
Anyway I'll post up the new mix sometime this weekend.
 
thanks again for all your input
Robert Anthony
 
edit- on I forgot, part of the piano issue is a have a bit of a rhodes kind of ghosting the piano notes, so I'll have to think that over. thanks again

Remixed this a bit, and would appreciate any input.  Lowered piano reverb, got rid of a couple of extra verb sends  I had in the vocal, raised the vocal and bass, and a couple eq changes
 
Thanks again for any input.

Robert, I like this remix very much.  The reverb supports the mood quite well, now.  Your piano track is very catchy and carries the tune well.  I like it that this song is somewhat outside the box and not predictable.  In regard to the Radiohead comment, you're right about that.  I just refreshed my memory by listening to their last CD, and the wetness of the vocals create an psychoacoustic effect that makes other elements of the mix sound wet when they are actually dry.  This is a technique that a lot of people are unaware of, but could help in many cases.  You've done a fine job of elevating this mix to another level.
