Hello!

I've got some points on the production (you might already have thought of this but here we go).

1. Acoustic guitar could get a little more room in the mix. Now it just seems to be drowned behind the synth and it doesn't really fill any function.
2. When the backing vocals start singing they are louder than the main vocal. Might be worth looking in to!

I think this song could be really catchy if you just fixed these small things!

Great work!

With love

Thank you Beppe - I have just remixed it with the acoustic more prominent and it does sound a whole load better. As for the vocals you are absolutely right of course and I rushed the mix...I will sort that out as well. Thanks for the advice!

Hi Martyn.......Good stuff, man!
To my ears, it seems a tad (minutia) slow. But, the song does have an energy that is positive and alive.
I like the guitars.....I think the synth is sucking the drive out of this, for me......it's not bad, it just seems lacking in energy in this arrangement.
Anyways.......good song writing, and I like the vocals  8)

Hi Martyn's,

Like everyone else and yourself says, this definitely has an 80s New Romantic feel.

The structure and synths all add to that, and maybe the vocals are out of sync,but that doesn't stop me liking this a lot.

I love that New Romantics early 80s era, that was my time....

With a little tweaking, has the potential to be a great song.

Synths are nice here and the funky wobbly guitars are great. I think it works to go straight into the chorus.

I also like the way you go into a break around 3 mins, though that came a little late for me and made the whole thing seem a little long...

Really looking forward to the new version!

Me too! Thanks for listening! I´m looking to move it on up etc...

Vince Clarke. Catchy as the plague. I feel all warm inside.

Hi,

The musical backing is great but the vocals need work to be in tune/in the right key. Lyrically, it's a bit repetitive and unimaginative. This needs work IMHO.
