Yes!!!
This is really cool. So different. I love the tempo change or is it half-time? I like it the way it is but I do think adding some backing vocals(female maybe?) it would set it off even more.
I'm always in favor of some BGvox
It needs some backing vox as fills. Shoop shoops or the like, syncopated on some lines, almost in time with the lead fill electric guitar. IMHO
Are you sensing areas of "dropped energy"?
Hey Kev.. yep, drop in the background vocals.
i agree with shack, add the extra side melody in the bridge piece could work.
the horns can fill in the backing on the verses but its there on the end, so it would be worth a try to add a few where the horns hit.
easier said than done no doubt.
putting on the arrangers hat was an interesting thread title.
