Hi John,

I enjoyed this. The write, the arrangement and your performance complement one another really well and each component adds texture to the ambience of self-reflection and self-honesty. It's a really nice song you've composed.

Also, since you asked for comments, here are some thoughts that occurred to me as I listened. Please feel free to ignore them.

I read where you said that you were finding mixing this a bit of a challenge. For what it's worth, I found myself wondering if part of this might be because you are pushing the limits of the Realtracks you've used. I notice that you have utilised RTs optimised for tempos 65, 75 and 85 bpm while the tempo of your song feels like it's more around 100 bpm. Have you tried using RTs designed in the 90 to 115 bpm range? These might add instrumental clarity that makes mixing a little easier. I also found the drums very busy but couldn't work out if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

This is definitely a song that's worth working on. It's got everything going for it.

All the best,
Noel
