Good song, Brian. I like the contrast between verse and chorus. The mix is good, but I'd prefer your vocal a bit louder. Maybe double tracked to fill it out. The vocal is so good, and I like the melody. It reminds me of Herman's Hermits only a lot better.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hey there Brian. I like the music and the melody. It does remind of the old Herman's Hermits sound. It was difficult to make out the vocals, I'd love to hear them put up front a little more too.

Brian,
Neat, light hearted tune. Good composition and vocals. Listens well. Overall mix good, but I would prefer to hear vocals more upfront. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Brian,

Great job on the vocal here! I like that sort of late 60's folk rock sound in this! You've used a good selection for the instrumentation! The Alvares and Takamine sound super!

Thanks, Torrey
