Very cool song and well mixed...I really like the ahhs.

Thanks, Ray! Sorry about the sibilance. The narrator is pretty exposed in SO many ways. Glad you liked the song!

Great singing, and the background vocals are also very well done.
One thing you might want to consider is pushing the chorus a little more. In my opinion, the distorted guitar 4129 would be a good choice for this. If it's not mixed in too loudly in this song (maybe from the second chorus onwards), it should give your great song another boost.
Great work, Ron.
Andi :-)

Thank you, Andi! Great idea about the extra guitar for the 2nd half, I ALMOST did it in the original mix. But then I decided that the two plaintive guitars chugging on made their own musical statement. But I could go either way. Appreciate the listen and idea!

Good style choice as well - JUNIOR sounds great. Added it to my SC playlist.

Thank you, Andrew! I was thinking of the narrator peering into the fog, trying to figure it out in a trance or dreamlike state, and the BGVs just seemed to pop. Funny how that happens. Yeah, that's a killer RealStyle for the stuff I do. Almost have to force myself NOT to overuse it...

I love the clear mix and the great vocals. That style really works for this production.

As always, so well done!

Thanks, Bob! For sure I felt like I was threading the needle on this topic, and in truth I shelved it after finishing, thinking it was too painful. But I love the bittersweet portrait, sad edges and all. Glad you enjoyed it!
