Wow, I've missed a lot of action here Greg!

I usually comment without reading others comments first to avoid being influenced, but there was so much interesting dialog here, I couldn't resist being a "rubber-necker" first!

"OPINION" This is a key word, separating "opinion" and constructive criticism is a fine line, and I like how you said that you would carefully digest all that has been said--some I agree with, and some not much. I do think you just need "polish" not reconstruction.

Now I'm going to talk about what I think is important--you have a superb melody that pulls you into the song and keeps your interest--to me that is the foundation of a good song. Some dance tunes totally rely on a strong beat with dramatized guitar riffs--you are much, much more than that here.

I really like the vocalists tonal quality, can he improve a few places?--sure, a few tweaks can fix that.

I agree with Nitshift with his remarks about the mix--he always has a good ear. I also think the compression with the kick drum is releasing too slowly like jello--it's not too loud for this music, just needs "tightened up" a bit--IMO, again that word OPINION. In the end it is your "art," follow your instincts and other's opinions that you feel right to YOU!

I write several different genre's of music myself and enjoy those differences. Please do not stop posting here, we need more of your type music to give our site a more comprehensive refection of music--just be careful about "knee-jerk" reactions, ehh?

Great song, I truly enjoyed it for it's place! Well produced IMO.
