Hi John This does sound like Springsteen. I love the song. Here are some of my thoughts on the production side I am typing as I am listening so thoughts might be a bit disjointed. I think that there is too much FX on the vocals for my liking. It has an almost live feel. Watch your levels as some of it sounds too hot and a bit muddy lacking crispness causing a rumble effect. there is a bit of an imbalance between some of the instruments. Interested to know what you used for drums was it loops or a machine. Hi hat is too up front and it appears there is an echo on the snare and bass that does not match up with other drum parts. I take it you like reverb LOL. There is a lot of light and shade (I think light and shade is the expression Polly was referring to) and lots of expression. Most points are easy fixes. Re harmonies.....this song really suits harmonies and you have done a pretty good job so far with background. Three part layered works well, think Eagles, but remember that sometimes less is more. Concentrate on harmonies on the odd word or phrase like "say". Overall pretty good song and performance. Needs tweaking on the production side.

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
