Hi Marc,

Thanks so much for your comments. I just redid a mix this morning, and had already addressed a couple of the things you brought up.

I wonder about the piano intro which sounds a bit like it is from a different track


I personally like the piano intro. (But if a major record label wants to sign me up and wants to remove the piano, I will let them after their check clears )

hmm the link at 1:33 doesn’t work for me (here I concur with Paul above - it's just a little cheesy!)


I'm guessing your are referring to the brass at 1:33. I read Paul's comments, and I guess the "cheesy" is referring to his "mice song" comment. Very clever! Now I don't know if Paul's comment was a misspell, or a freudian slip! lol At any rate, I do like cheese, so the brass stays (again, unless the above mentioned record label removes it).

I did bring out the guitar solo some when I did the remix this morning.

While the structure is good, I wonder if you could get away with having 1 fewer reps of the chorus at the end. Not sure that the last one adds much.


Haven't made any decision about removing a chorus rep at the end. It only has the chorus twice, and to remove one may make it too abrupt, I don't know. (I will play around with it.)

But seriously, I do appreciate your comments. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen closely enough to have these suggestions.

Even after this remix this morning, this is not the "final mix". I will do that in a few weeks when I get ready to do whatever I end up deciding to do with the song. I do tend to play around with a song quite a bit before "finishing" it.

Thanks again!

Steve
