Paul,
Nice tune. Good message. This will sound great once you fine tune the mix.

I've studying sound engineering techniques.. and this mix I've put in what I 've learned so far.. teh tracks are actually sound shaped into different positions in the spectrum...to ensure nothing gets stomped on.... you got to love modern techniology..lol

I re-worked this song.. changed the key and slowed it down for the album.

A very nice song Paul, especially the guitar solo, and your vocals are as usual very impressive.

Thoughts as I listened:
- 5:05 is too long. Once the chorus message is delivered nothing different happens afterwards. I think shorter would be more impactful.
- The key change near the end feels like a big lurch; it's a good idea but somehow sounds awkward at the moment.
- I'd put your vocal back a bit in the mix. I know from your other songs you like it well forward, but the backing sounds firmly relegated and somehow separate when in fact there are things in it to listen to and enjoy on a par with the vocal.

As I said, just thoughts; bin 'em as necessary!
