No crits here. Thanks for sharing.

Mix comes across well here and I enjoyed the playing.

If Donald Fagan sang an Eagles tune, only kind of better.
 
 What did you use for drums btw?

Thanks Tom! It is funny you mention Fagan and the Eagles.  I watched the Eagles doc on NetFlex.  Steely Dan and the Eagles had some sort of thing going.  I know Fry liked them but they put in a dig on "Hotel California."  "They stab it with their Steely knives but they just can't kill the beast."
 
The drums are my favorite Toontrack EZX - Indie Folk.  I've used them on three songs now and they always sound great.

I didn't mind the subject matter, and like James I like how you intertwined it with an otherwise pleasant melody and structure.  

Thanks Steve. 
I had the idea of, "Tell me what you want to hear," for a few months.  "I'll sell you down the river," was a line that came out of nowhere.  I knew a needed a pre-chorus.  I just started singing it.  One of those weird moments when writing.  Then I used a couple of presets on Guitar Rig and they worked perfectly.  Very lucky.

Wookie and Ed,
Thank you for listening!

It sounds so pro! Drums are great, perfectly balanced with bass. The Eagles references are perhaps due to choirs and it really sounds like not far from Fagen. Mixingwise flawless.

Man that was awesome,. I really mean it, I wasn’t even been able to listen to it as a mix, but as a song.

great stuff John - understated, subtle mix and nice song.

This is super!  I enjoy hearing your writing process and knowing that you use the same tools as me.  I'll be listening to this several more times.  You're on a roll!

Pawel, Katsune, Daryl and Lynn,
Thank you for listening and your comments.
