Hi Doug! I listened to the full mix. Excellent song, love the parts, love how they come together. What would you identify as the chorus in this song? I'm hearing verse / prechorus / chorus ? I think one thing you might consider is adding an element that really boosts the chorus, like a backing pad or doubled vocal or something, a ha! An organ pad!!! just to get the arena really rocking! Very Tom Petty, awesome! cheers, -Tom

Sorry, I should have checked the name. "Aidan O'Driscoll" plenty of hints on offer, a fine Irish name it is. I'll check out that site because I'm a big Thomas Dolby fan, and that's what we do.

Has the patriarch taken into full consideration any unwanted psychological remnants this might produce in the boy holding the shears? Could be a bit traumatic for a six year old who is expressing reluctance. Now, if he could do it with a light saber, that's another story ?

The last game I really enjoyed was Rogue, on the Unix platform or server or whatchamacallit. Or, "Canyon Defense" at miniclips.com. Wish they had either of those on android. As you can see, I'm nOtagAmer4LiFe Ok boomer out.

@vechung- disgusting? agreed! It creeps me out just to think about it! Thanks for the listen! @Makke - many thanks! please watch out for the flies . . . @freddy j - wow that's very kind, thank you! It's such a silly idea and I ought to know better. Glad you got a chuckle out of it! @Max Arwood - yes without the vid, it's elevator music! I'm very glad you liked it, thanks for the listen!

Killer delay on that lead vocal in the intro! The whole thing is a bit depressing, isn't it! Your musical treatment is very listenable and very solidly produced. Honestly, though, I'm just not in the mood for musical explorations of this! I'm sure others are, and hopefully you get some good charity rolling from it. No faulting your song, it's well done for sure. cheers, -Tom

Loved it, I saw all the edits and comping, wow great project! I liked the spirit of costuming as well, big fun. See you on Reddit! -Tom

Parboiled! will be her Empty schemes . . . a Fraud! to a venerated Meme! thanks for the listens and I appreciate crits and feedback, oh yes indeedy!

That would be the Radio Silence. Bummer, I can't see it either, gotta be a Brit I reckon. One more reason to envy them!

Beautiful vocal over cool chord changes. Guitar is liquid, supportive, alive. One crit FWIW I'd drop a little more ambience on the sidestick and the hihats/cymbals, they're hecka dry compared to the guitars. cheers, -Tom

Indeed, having heard your voice, I conjured it in my head whilst I was reading, and it works! But I'd also vote for your real vocals if you can, but if not it's a fun little adventure as is. -Tom

I love that clean guitar tone, it's the highlight of the mix! I also like your vocals which convey that 80's sophisticated alley vibe. Cool bends of that lead guitar as well! Mixwise, the drums are pretty far back, maybe scootch them forward a tad, particularly when there's no vocals. Maybe go full 80's reverb snare? I dunno. Just drums louder would be an improvement. I also was missing the bass guitar, but in this song it's not a feature. The main parts, vocal and guitar, are very strong. Well done you night ranger! cheers, -Tom

Stray cats to sharday, huh? I don't get that one. Because I'm

Que es syrah? Syrah?

Or Paul Desmond Day!

U rainin' 'em down, usually.

Easy on Starise!!! Besides, I've seen his TED talk on food labelling, it's compelling. Meanwhile, he's right in that if you are an older dude eating those abominations, you're probably prediabetic. That's what it says on my label.

I like this equal to the original . . . love your own stamp on it. Super clear mix and killer smooth vocals. I love a band called The Samples and this is in that same sweet spot. I would only offer the crit that you really got your money's worth out of that one tom fill Really cool job, sir! I look forward to your next Red Button adventure. cheers, -Tom

Track was AWOL when I clicked in, will check back . . .

This izzzzzzz great! Maybe a bit more reverb on the lead guitar? Something to thicken the tone of the lead, just a bit? It definitely has a groove! cheers, -Tom

I hope that's your voice, what a treat to hear a vocal in your work! It sounds good in this! Keep it coming! the delay is perfect for this Floydish tune. Overall I found the volume of this track on the low side, anyone else? Or am I going deaf? What? anyway I liked it! cheers, -Tom

I have no figs left to give because I couldn't give a fig.
