Taste of home
Something sounds out of tune to me in the beginning. Love the flute-y thing. What is that? Midi?
I agree with earlier comments that the guitar sounds like it's in a different place than the vocals. Maybe run a very, very slight reverb over the entire mix to help bring it together.
Also some stereo would help I think. Sounds like most everything is panned straight center. You might double track the hand claps and pan one full left and one full right, and pan the flute-y stuff a bit wider.
Catchy song. Not familiar with Expectations, so I don't know how derivative it is.
Thanks for the feedback, the flute is midi, it's a vsti called Redtron, Flutter 4 ever. I'm in love with this mellotron thing.
I haven't had time to go back and revisit this song yet, but really appreciate the comments and will try these things.
