I [i]feel[/i] like this is done?

Friends:

Please give this number a listen.

Some(on another site) commented that it sounds like the guitarist mixed it. Not true. I mixed it and you definilty cant even [i]hear[i/] my part most of the time (the distorted fender piano bass during the verses). So I think I kep a pretty good bird eye view of the song as a song.

The vocals are a bit on the precious side but thats how the guy sings, he being...ernest, sue us.

Do Tell, Thanks

but feel free to hear the other tunes as well

Twonky,

Great tune! It has a great groove. The drum intro is unique, creative and fits the mood of the song well. Vox sound good, I really like the harmony at the end, very cool!

I would agree with others that the guitar is mixed just a little hot. I might also try to seperate the rhythm from the lead at around 2:30 by panning them away from each other and pos offsetting eq. It seems like sometimes I hear the bass and other times it sort of disappears. Could just be me.

All in all, very well done!!

I think the guitar is fine in the mix. I might back off it a bit when the piano part came in and then bring it back after that...but its fine for the other parts.

Great song-writing and a powerful performance.
Probably ready 4 prime time.
Wouldn't mind hearing the piano more when it comes in.
Confident vocals. Singer seems very sure what he wants to do.

Nice playing and song. I thought the vocals could come up a tad.

I agree that the piano @ 1:40 comes in too loud for my taste.

Thought the edge of the guitar started to clip or distort or something around the change through 2:10ish.

Try a short-delay on the falsetto voice bits to make them cut more.

I like the "For you"'s with gtr. + harmony at 3:20 -> out.

I hereby pronounce this radio friendly.

Q.

FWIW - I would have liked to hear the vocals stay up and the music fade out as opposed to ending with the gtr whalesong.
