John,
Enjoyed that mid paced rock. Like the delicate piano bits, worked really well. Liked you vocals too. Solo neat. Perhaps the drums which are great need to a little less prominent in the mix.
Shades of chillies perhaps?

Hi!

Actually listened twice. Liked the overall vibe. Slow, grungy rock with emotion in it. Nice guitar parts. Nice bass parts. Good work.

-I would definitely up your vocals a bit. Make them a bit more wet, because they sound a little bit dry to me. Or maybe they sound dry because they don't sit well in the mix.
-I would also give the guitar a little bit more of the low end because it doesn't sound as "full" as I feel like it could.

Other than that, I think the mix sounds good. WOuld need just a little more thickness overall in my personal opinion.

It was a good listen!

Loved all the elements here - drums, bass and guitars all working together well. Vocal worked well too though perhaps could be a little more expressive with a little more light and shade? I really wanted to see the lyrics...

Many thanks Adam - and I agree with the light and shade comment, which it needs.

Lyrics as follows:

V1 - how do I say this, the words to find
       It gets so hard to ease my mind
       The things you want to hear from me
       I express them now for you to see  (the things you want to hear from me)

Ch - Things to say, things to hide
       People who want inside my mind

V2 - Now you see my quiet side
       My feelings are a from to hide
      Between the lines is what you see
      And what you think is not for me

Last Ch - Things to say, things to hide
             People who want inside my mind
             Tryin to pry, you scare me away
             What is mine, is mine to stay

Cheers

John
