Hi Mike,

Congratulations on getting your first song posted

I love the easy, relaxed feel of the accompaniment. It was a great fit for the structure of your song. I also liked the inspiring lyrics. They worked for me. If you ever get around to revisiting the mix, the lead vocals seemed to stand out in front of the accompaniment on my system. It would be interesting to drop them back a couple of dBs and compare how it sounds.

I find mixing incredibly difficult. What I usually do when I get to what I think is a 'final mix' is to put the song away and then not listen to it for 2 days. Then, when I revisit what I've done, I find it's much easier to hear what needs adjusting.

Thank you for sharing your work. I appreciated the opportunity to listen to it. You should feel a good sense of accomplishment with this one!

All the best,
Noel

Congrats Mike. I like your song.

Loved your song. Inspirational. Well done

Nice work.

It's always a scary thing to post your first song for the world to hear and comment on.

You did good.

It's all been said, I'll just echo "good song, great message".

Congrats!

Later,
