Great stuff! Yes, looking forward to the intro, surely needed. Also, the vocals need to come up front a bit. The ending took me for a suprise, I wood fade it out with a reverb tail or something, a bit abrubt. Singing was good as were the lyrics (just need to come up a bit).
Great song when done for sure. Peace be with you. Blessings, John

Lynn, loved the title and the energy in the song! My eight year old son Anurag also loved it. Keep it coming!!

The vocals need lot of work. They weren't even close to being in tune. There is a lot of opportunity for improvement there. Also, the synths sounded really thin and cheesy. Finally, it would be better to come up with a more original riff to the song.

Shawn, thanks for you kind comments and your new wedding song, "Lovemamba".  

John, there's a new intro on the horizon, and I agree about the vocals needing to come up.  As for the ending, I have so many songs that fade out that I was looking for an abrupt ending to go between two songs that fade out for a little change.  Thanks for participating in this production, and peace to you, as well.

Kaushal, it's a pleasure to know your son liked my song and to know that someone in Asia is listening.  Thanks for taking the time to listen and reply.

Pete, I'm of two minds in regard to your comments.  First, I want to apologize to you for offending your ears and wasting your time.  Second, I want to give you my humble thanks for giving me the courage to go back to my day job without feeling guilty ;)

Interesting presentation, I don't care for the synth strings much, but what I thought was a percussion thing going back and fourth seems to be the attack on the acoustic guitars, it's a pretty cool effect. I like the snare sound, but it "may" be a little bit too present in the mix. It's also cool the way this stops after "They oyster of life" and then in the end it just stops? I was waiting for it to kick back in :-)

I love a big plate full of Oysters on the half shell!

Nice one Lynn. My only crit is the 'cut like a knife' line. It's probably a personal thing. I just think it's way over used. Nice tune.

Nice one Lynn.  Cool lyrics and it does have a cinematic feel to it.  Ditto to the comments above concerning the intro.
Good tune!

Hi Lynn, nice one, I like the opening, though the end is a bit abrupt. Acoustic guitar could be louder imho, now I only hear pick noise and not much else. Great vocals,. Good job ,Sir.

Robby, I just love oyster, too.  As for the synth and strings, I'm not crazy about them anymore, myself.  I'm going to try some different textures in those parts.  I'm never sure about the snare volume because some like it hot and some don't.  Thanks for contributing to this song.

Tim, thank you for your compliment.  Darn that Bryan Adams!  He stole my line before I knew what was happening.  I could have gone with "cuts like a wife", but then someone would have said I was ripping off Lorena Bobbit.

Freddy, thanks for the comments about the lyrics.  As stated earlier, the intro is going to evolve.

Ed, thank you for the comments, especially about the bass line, as I know that is your specialty.

Rikkie, you're right on about the volume of the acoustics.  I was afraid of them being too loud since they are doubled, but I will bring them up in the next mix.

Again, I want to thank all of my coproducers for your time and help.
