Vintage sound? Check, mission complete!
Click and audio drop outs? I'd say that would be overdoing it.
Overall I think the vocals need to come up a bit in the mix but that might also be me not being a native English speaker and hence need a bit more of the vocals to make out the lyrics.
Cool song!

Rocking tune! A few suggestions, much down to personal taste, keep or sweep :-)
- The vocals needs to come up a bit in the mix during the verses and I think the reverb/processing of it is a bit too much
- The drums really needs to come forth to properly rock this thing! Perhaps consider panning the rhythm guitars left and right, that would leave some space in the middle for the drums (but they would still need to come up in the mix)

@Dorian
Thanks Dorian, I've been playing around with various styles recently. Gone from Calypso and AC/DC to early green day and now working on ZZ top influenced driving song!! Got to get a life.

@Nick Ryder
What a great bright voice! The whole song has a pretty uplifting vibe, fitting the perfect sunny day I see outside my window here today (in The Netherlands that is). So, your mission on making people feel good is accomplished.

Btw: Nothing wrong with straightforward pop. In the end it’s all about resonating with listeners you want to reach out to, less about fancy chords and complex progressions just for the sake of being complex    My humble opinion.
Nevertheless, I hear some clever breaks here and there.

Cheers, Dorian

Hey, @Dorian Thank you so much.

I totally agree. I think there's a place for all different kinds of music and whilst I get a lot of satisfaction in witing / producing a complex piece of music, it is equally rewarding doing something simple and uplifting like this.

Have a great day.

Janey, Janey, Janey

I heard a rumor you folded from the strain
But I know you, you're on the slow train,
sittin' in the lounge car with a dangerous smile;
looks like things gonna be smooth for a while

And I'm out here on the outskirts
of this torn down town
way out on the outskirts of town

You never stop running, nobody has a clue,
or the damage those green eyes can do.
You looked around, found you an answer,
inside yourself you became a silent dancer.

Dance around the fires
Dance beyond the wires
Dance and dance alone
Where you dance is home

I caught you when you were still green,
you waltzed right onto a real bad scene;
now you've got answers, just like a clown
you don't allow anything to get you down.

Angels never have to say a thing
just a quiet shake of their wing,
they tell me heaven is not so far away,
seems I been there and I could not stay.

Dance around the fires
Dance beyond the wires
Dance and dance alone
Where you dance is home.

Children's eyes hold a choice,
way out on the outskirts of town,
your memory now is a voice
way out on the outskirts of town.

Way out on the outskirts of town
mmm...mmm...mm-mmm
way out on the outskirts of town.
