Interesting arrangement.
personally I'd like MORE kick drum - particularly in the intro (which is a bit long and lacks something to focus on - like a cello - to be honest).
The rhythm guitars are a bit fizz given the rounder sounds of everything else including the solo guitars.
Cool stuff notwithstanding my minor quibbles.
Cheers

Hi Will,  SOOOOO GOOD !!!! You must be on vacation, Will, because you're coming up with great and very original, witty and most surprising stuff almost on a weekly basis. This one is funny, but also musically great - the exact opposite of boring! And the title alone deserves 5 stars. I can only repeat: I like what you're doing !!! All the best, Stefan

Cool stuff notwithstanding my minor quibbles. Thanks a lot for listening, rayc! It's very good, constructive and useful critique and it is all things I will take into consideration if I ever make a new mix of this track. I appreciate that you took the time to listen and comment! Will

All the best, Stefan Hi Stefan, Oh, how I wish I was on a vacation now, but I'm actually as busy as ever at my work. I just find making music to be a nice way of relaxing when I have a little spare time. I signed up for this FAWM-thing that I read about on this forum, but there is no way I will manage to create 14 songs in February... just way too busy at work. Thanks for listening and your nice comments! Will

Will,
It is a very nice idea.
I think that cello and rock band are rarely played together like this tune as actual performance, but it surely will attract the audience if it is realized.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi Yeah, I would vote for more cellos or other string instruments at rock concerts. Diversity is great! Thank you so much for listening and commenting! Will

Noel Hi Noel, Like Shigeki mentioned, it is seldom that we hear a cello in a rock band... as seldom as finding a cello in your soup. Thank you for listening. As always I feel blessed when experienced musicians like you - and all the other good people here - take time to listen and comment. Will
