Hi Everybody, This is a song I wrote back in 2009 which I never posted, and it's off my "Wishful Thinking" album. Please let me know if you have any critiques of the mix, and thanks for listening. Here it is: https://www.soundclick.com/html5/v4/player.cfm?songID=13529046

I thought it made me think of ELP a bit - a bit of a progressive piece. Nice job. Thanks for posting.

I really enjoyed the listen. Funny - I bought a classical guitar last year - my first nylon string. It is a lot of fun to play - sort of a different world from a steel string. Thanks for posting.

That was a cool groove and listen overall. Thanks for posting.

I too thought of surf music when the song started. I liked your lead vocal, and it sounds like you have a nice work in progress here - I don't know if it needs anything more actually. Thanks for posting.

Yes, the synths are cool on this song. I think the bass sounds fine, as does the overall mix. Cool ending. Thanks for posting.

I enjoyed the song, and I thought the mix was excellent. Oh, I did hear a bit of the ssss on the BGVs mentioned above. Thanks for posting.

The lead vocal reminded me a bit of Dennis DeYoung - sounds cool. I liked the song - good arrangement. The guitar solo was very nice. No crits on the mix - it sounded fine to me. Thanks for posting.

That was wild - I never know what to expect from you. Very creative. It was a pleasant listen - thanks for posting.

I enjoyed the song - your lead vocal works well with the song. The mix sounds good to me. I didn't hear the clunks - did you remove them? Thanks for posting.

I enjoyed the song - I agree with the bit of melancholy to it mentioned above. I thought the mix was excellent, and I liked the video as well. Tasteful guitar solo and a pleasant lead vocal. Nice job - thanks for posting.

I enjoyed it Wookiee - the music did sort of flow along - going well with your theme. I liked the bells - that was a nice touch. A creative listen - thanks for posting.

Joad - Thank you very much for listening. The Velvet Underground - that's a compliment right there😀

SPAK - Thanks for your comments and for listening - I appreciate it.

I was taught a long time ago to sing from the diaphragm of the chest - from deep down. I sit down when I do a vocal, but I lean forward and sing from the diaphragm. Once I learned that, I rarely need to use Melodyne. In fact, instead of using Melodyne, I usually punch in and sing the phrase again.
