Hard to tell without getting in there, but here are some things I think would be good to address. 1 - Drums sound like there might be too much compression and lack clarity... maybe too much reverb or reverb not tailored to the drums 2 - The bass sometimes fights the kick drum (although this may be writing and not mixing) This makes it hard to drive the song forward. 3 - Piano might need a little high end boost or lower range rolloff. 4 - The guitars might be washing out the other parts a little - I am listening with headphones and the panning may be too much. When the guitars go away, a lot of the issues go away. 5 - Overall I think there might be too much reverb. 6 - The vocals are slightly overpowered by the instruments and again may need less reverb. Don't take it the wrong way - These are only my thoughts and who knows whether I am right or not! I am being overly critical but wanted to give you real feedback. Steve

Thanks for stopping by. TZ is a high point of my New Year's Eve, which for at least the last decade involved me staying home with the fam, drinking champagne appropriately, watching Twilight Zone and sometimes the 3 Stooges, watching how crazy people are these days around midnight, wondering when Anderson Cooper will start looking like Guy Lombardo and falling asleep shortly after midnight strikes!

I made it to the end and had to leave more praise. I'm more 70s than 80s but those references are nothing more than relevant genius. I love this.
-
Great lyrics! Fantastic mix. Interesting ideas. Love it.

Very cool that you guys put your heads together to come up with this nice song. Great work. -
Nice. Tight. Great guitar work. Great drum sound as well. Cheers!
-
Nice groove. Well done.
-
Nice - it calms me down!
-
Always nice to go back and snag the old ones and drag them into the future!
-
Pretty cool - I could hear a strong solid simple drum beat and bass coming in around 2:05 as the main focus for a while in my head to propel things along.
-
Cool tune, interesting.
-
Good mix and the vocal sounds great.
-
Good song, but the mix needs some work I think.

I saw a couple of the newer Twilight Zone episodes this New Year - I didn't know that they had produced a new season. They are in black and white which is cool and I thought they were well done. I guess they have been around since 2020 but I hadn't heard about it.

Same atmosphere was part of the Boston sound in the 70's - A great time! Thanks for sharing.
-
The verb on the vox is perfect, as is the EQ. Drums sound great, perfect tone, nice beat.
-
Very cool vibe music. For my taste I would put a little more high end on the master, but to each his own - it just might be my aging ears - it sounds great anyway. I love the snare sound you got and the panning of the toms.
-
Really cool. It's got a touch of Elvis Costello and Randy Newman in there. Nice and tight. And interesting! Did you post this on Bandlab? If not, you should!
-
Very cool - I like the switching between major and minor, and the untuned notes bouncing against each other.
-
Thank you very much!
-
Thanks Tom - I didn't put in the very last scene from the episode. I debated it but figured it would be better not to. It definitely shows my fan worship to Steely Dan LOL . I have to go back and review They Might Be Giants - somebody else mentioned them for another song I did. I really appreciate your feedback - comments like this make it all worthwhile. Steve

Haha - Maybe A Yellowstone song would be fun - Beth would play a key part, as would Jamie LOL. The wife and I watch it - up to this year it has always been easy, but for some reason (which she knows and I don't) we have to record it first and watch it later. That's fine by me - I think we still have to watch commercials but it's OK. Thanks for providing more detail!

Hi Larry! Thanks for stopping by.

I know how you feel about those ads - glad that is over. Paramount+ is what Yellowstone is on, isn't it? Steve
