Birthday song for girlfriend

[Mark_HW]

My son Ken wrote this song for his girlfriend's birthday. He performed everything, except the percussion is Fruity Loops. This is only his third song, so the arrangment could maybe use some more development, but there probably isn't time to do any more with that before Margaret's birthday gets here. I could still tweak the mix, or the Fruity programming though. Any comments?

It's called "In Love with You."

Hey, this song is going to make your son's girlfriend turn to mush. The recording is good and the recording is tight. Cool beans.

at first, I like that voice - sweet!

personally, I don't like those drum fills like that on 0:20 - it's breaking this flowy atmosphere; I would drop any of those harsh hihats, and replace the snare or at least make it louder..
- the voc is getting way too loud at 3:49
- then, the song is too long
I hope I could help

cheers

Thanks for the kind words FattMusiek.

Groovejunkie, I'm not quite sure what you mean about the snare. What do you think it should sound like? Also, I'm new to drum programming and don't have much of an idea how to make the fills better.

Agree the song is too long, but haven't convinced Ken about that yet.
