Hello, this sounds great, the only think that comes to mind is the drums... they are buried.
The rest is great.
Cheers

nice tune, good guit playing. Yeah definitely bring the drums up, vocals too. take the rhythms guits down during the vocal parts.
I hear some hard consonants like vocals compression is pushed too hard. G's and C' mostly.
cool man.

I echo the sentiments of the others. Usually, when my drums suck, I try to bury them, but these don't sound like they suck. Bring that snare and kick up! Let them drive the music like they should... They sound nice, but buried.
I love the bass playing, man... Love a good walkin' bass, and this one walked all over the place.. It sounds well-seated in the mix as well. Nice job.
The guitars sound great, too... Same level as the bass. Great sounding, and seated well in the mix.
Yeah... Get the drums up where they should be, and this would be sounding primo. Great job.
There's something a bit off in the sound of the vocals. I can't put my finger on it. They sound like the tone of the voice is EQ'ed down, or something. Maybe it's the way the guy sings, he may be chewing his words a bit much... Dunno...
Everything else... Kudos, man. Great sounds.

Very nice tune!
Yeah, great bass and nice guitar playing. Very good voice too. Just bring those drums up or the rest down and you're set.

Hat STYLE. Not contents.
Pretty cool song. The melody is catchy, and the voices are mostly pretty-well balanced with each other.
There were a couple effects that really stuck out to me though. I'm not sure I like the chorus on the rhythm guitar; that seemed a little goofy.
And it sounded like you had some kind of weird effect on the vocals. They were a little robotic and auto-tuney, if you know what I mean.
The noodley lead guitar isn't really my cup of tea, but if that's what you're into, more power to ya.
PI's right. That bass is pretty cool!

Ditto drums and vox up.
Other nits: Akward or hackneyed 'moon/june' expression:
"Deafening silence shrouding me"; "swirling" for example. Some wording is excellent.
Some phrasing forced to fit words...losing impact.
If I had one other thing I'd do, other than level up the cans and vox, it would be to extend the duration of the syllables in the chorus 'a-LONE A-GAIN and OWN A-GAIN to two beats each. Dynamic, texture-changing...eats up the dead space at the end of the phrase. But that would require re-recording vox. But I'm inclined to think that is the big hook crying out to be discovered.
Good work!

Great song! I liked the arrangement, and the quality is great too. Just do what everyone else said, and the song may sound MUCH better.
Oh, and what mic did you use for the vocals?

I used a Rode NT1 from the vocal, then there's a double and 1 harmony, and I used an AKG C-414 for those..
New mix up soon..
