Hi Pete
Really enjoyed this one - reminded me of Tom Petty in places.
Then the Who, then ... IDK.
All great influences - nothing stolen. :D

Nice work
Paul

Very beautiful song. Guitar parts make me want to dance, so cool.
If I listen to the song with headphones, I would like to add more bass in the end of the song, but this is just my opinion.

Lovely sounding guitars - as others have said kind of a real wall of sound reminding me of good old 90s britrock in a way.

 I think the vocals are a touch too clean here - not sure they also need to be quite as high up in the mix as they are (but then again Im often told I bury mine too much in my mixes so might be best to ignore that comment :).  Very well sung but may be worth trying to experiment with some effects such as a bit of extra saturation, or a form of echo/reverb that enables the stereo spread to go wider.

Good track though which kept me interested all the way through

Thanks guys!

@adamfarr I blame Neil for the words no one else uses  ;D. although I might have out in a few from time to time!

@paulski Glad you liked it Paul.  Can't say I feel influenced by those guys but if you listen to enough hopefully the good bits rub off.

@Maya Clars Thanks Maya, dancing is always good in my eyes!  I'll take a look at the bass.

@The Holographic Rodeo Ah clean vocals!  They are my downfall.  I have tried most of the tricks but I still sound clean.  It is the one area I try to work on most, it's ok on a ballad, but a song like this wants a bit more Dave Grohl thrown in .  Glad you liked it.  Cheers.

Hi,
Like the opening riff the lyrical concept.
Catchy chorus, and like the M8 link via the bass riff as it a builds
Good luck with it.
