Hi everybody, I have been working on the mix of this new song for the last week or so, and I'm ready for some feedback.  I'm still undecided whether or not this will go with the collection of songs that I'm preparing for my next CD, so any help or suggestions from you will be welcome.  This song initially began as a lark from a comment made by my significant other, but quickly took on a life of its own.  Thanks in advance for your time and contrilbutions.

I've taken many of your ideas and came up with this.
Here is the remixed version titled "Oyster Of Life 2": http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=11812564&q=hi&newref=1

Sounds great Lynn but wheres the intro section , it sort jumps right into the music . The start of your tune almost sounds like I picked out a spot somewhere in the middle of the verse and started playing it .


I like it , has a nice vibe about it sipping a cool marty on the beach !LOL

Nice tunage there! I like this song a lot. To me, it sounds like the vox could use some phaser but that's just me. I like how it jumps right in and gets going right away. I like the different sections and how they move. I think 2:43 should be a more dramatic slowdown though. The last chord should be a French 6th chord that way it's more tension for people expecting more. (maybe an Italian 6th) I like how it just ends too!

What a great song!!!

You seem to like that wide sounding mix. I'm not sure I like that style but it is a very good mix.

This is real upbeat and energetic. I like it! GP's suggestion of phaser on the vox is a good one. I think it would top it off nicely.

There is a lot to like here.

I think the synth passages need to do something slightly different to demarc them from the verses.
Maybe add some other element.

I like this quite a bit...and love the title.  I get a lot of cinematic ideas from this, would be great soundtrack material.  Nice work!

@James, aka The Night Fox, thanks for your time.  I kinda meant to have a shorter intro that some of my other songs which often go on and on.  I'd be glad to join you on the beach.

@ GP, I like your phaser idea.  This is what I'm looking for.  I'll try it out today.  I'll also take a listen to the bridge and that last chord.  All good ideas.

@Scotty, thanks for your comments.  I like the phaser idea, too.  I'll try it on for size, shortly.

@jamesyoyo, thanks for listening.  Your idea excites me, too.  I'll give it a spin, and maybe that's what it needs for a few degrees of separation.

@Warrenlee, thank you so much for looking at the big picture.

I can't wait to get started on this, but first I must get fully awake.  You all are terrific contributors.

Hi Lynn,

Cool song. Solid song.

Loved the lead synth and the melody passage at 1:07 for e.g 

The guys are right the intro is to abrupt, even a synth faded in slowly from soft to loud, ending on a crash of beat 1 would be better me thinks.

Regards,

Cian

Cian, thanks for having a listen.  I'm going to rethink that intro, so stay tuned.

great lyrics....good vibe...enjoyable Lynn! (Somebody said to me once "Time has no meaning to me...".
