Izzy,

I feel you, man! What you describe is exactly how I feel about pretty much every song I try to put together. Countless hours creating and mixing to the point where all objectivity about the worth of the song is lost. I'm usually so done with the song that I rarely play it again on guitar (which is to say, there are many songs I've written that I've simply forgotten how to play). So I relate to your exasperation . . . but stay with it . . . on this song in particular because it has such a great feel to it.

I like the organ opening . . it's engaging, and then rolls into that piano and vocal. Some really nice touches in the production. The mix overall is a little high-end I think (though I'm far from a mix expert--see what others say).

The hook is catchy. It's got an 80's vibe. Listening as I am typing . . . I am really impressed with your arrangement and production choices.

Yeah, the more I listen, the more I really like this. My advice: Let the song sit a few weeks then come back to the mix. Sometimes you get so close to it that you can't see the forest for the trees. Come back with a fresh pair of ears a couple of weeks later. You'll be surprised by the adjustments you'll make.

I really like this tune.
