Good job Jack - this was quite unique. The synths were an interesting listen.

HI Jack

I really liked this and I have to say a really good mix

The only thing I would say and this is a personal preference, so please feel free to ignore!! I found the bridge starting 2.29 a bit too long at 30 seconds or so

Otherwise loved it

Cool

Love when that slidy reverby guitar comes in - and the bass tone along with it.  Good vox too.

ecletic mix.  positive message.   I heard some jazz chords in there!  What synth are you using for spacey stuff?

At almost 5 minutes, I think there is some "fat" in the whole tune that could be trimmed.
Also, I'd put the keys and guitar on a buss, and use some side chain compression off the vocal track.
That would keep it "below" the vocal, but give a little more "impact" in between the vocal lines.
just a suggestion...

wow....you are on a real creative roll jack....i never did get back to finish listening to your last song, so let me put some time into this one....it's a real tour de force of composition and playing....the production and mix sound is very good....the  EQ/audio of the synth's is outstanding as is your playing/programming of them....the ending is really cool....this is another one of my favorites of yours along with My Special Place, selim and sivad ????????

edit: i have to say that your composing in the last few months is miles above anything i can do at this time....thanks for the inspiration and education....cheers!!!!

I like the squelchy Bass but I am with Tom need to trim some of the fat as I found my furry mind wondering off and not really listening.

So do I as I was trying to imply this did not keep my attention, unfortunately.

Hey Jack you have a really nice melody going on in there so I don't think you need the beeps and boops.
There were a couple of spots where a big delay on the voc would be cool, for example around 1:50.

Hi Jack.
You have come on a long way since you first started posting your mixes.
Not as hot and good dynamic range.,,  your getting better all the time.

Hi Jack,

Love the synths + love the message of the song.

It is very well mixed + has a nice counterpoint of styles.

Thanks for sharing.

Good Job!
