The music sounds great. I hear bits of 70s and 80s rock/pop. The vocals could use a little more attention. They're very loud and sounds distant from the music. The timing of some phrases were rushed. Overall, solid song.

Excellent work on the guitars, I like the vibrato on the vocals, but I agree with Strangers, they are too loud. I would have tuck them deeper in the mix, so that the overall feel sounds more "radio friendly". Composition-wise, I really love the harmony - there are some nice prog-rock chords progressions here and there that I really dig - and I find the song very solid. I am not so in love with the drums (too much 80s AOR for my taste, they somehow kill the late 70s feel i got at the beginning) and I also would change or add lots of reverb to the synth strings that appear later in the song: they feel very amateur-ish and they really fight against the other sounds which are good, especially the brass/horn towards the end.

Definitely a good track, just needs minor production corrections, imho.

Thanks guys I’m afraid I’m bloody awful with vocal production - ongoing battle with that - drums I get - again getting the right drums is a pain - using toontrack drums so any suggested ideas always very welcome

Also I think I suffered from ear fatigue by the end apart from I am a shockingly poor producer !
