I found this old, unmixed song from 2011 while cleaning up my hard drive, so I spent a day fixing it up. It's sort of a fun 80's or 90's power pop number. Looks like I used my old Line 6 POD 2.0 for the guitars. I still have that thing laying around on a shelf somewhere... I know the singing could be improved, although it would probably take someone else to do it. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

I like the instrument's energy. Some three-part vocal harmonies would work very nicely in this. The vocal melody needs refining to be a smidge catchier. Actually, this reminds me of the 60's. A pleasant listening experience. That little takeoff on Secret Agent Man @ 2:21 was the start of a strong finish all around.
 
Thanks for the listen and your suggestions. I hadn’t thought about the Secret Agent Man connection but you’re right… must have gone to that change automatically.
 
Reminds me of the style of band I was in about 18 years ago. Similar power pop kinda sound. I actually really like this. It has some pretty good moments. I think it could stand some refining. Over all pretty cool.

If you're shy of your singing, that's probably why it's mixed a bit low in the mix. Bring it up. And... I think it's fine.
 
Vocals are all phasey and the mix is kind of hesitant - you got a song going - but somethings not right.
