As much work as I've done on my songs, people have mostly said my "throwaway" songs are the best. Go figure.

In terms of the mix, the volume and balance are excellent. The vocal lacks a bit of "sheen" - I want to hear a touch of reverb, or something to give thing a bit more sense of space. There are places where I'd clean up the vocal, like "where he's seen thissss before", but I've got a lateral /s/, so I'm hyper-sensitive about stuff like that.

A bit of vocal doubling would be nice, but isn't required.

I'd suggest having a look at something like Panagement, my favorite free spacial effect. Did I mention it's free? I've got the full version, but I don't think there are any features in it you'd actually use. But I find it's really good at placing things in space, and somehow just making things better.

Anyway, nice song! smile

Thanks for the input David, I'll download the plugin you suggested and have a play with it. Yes you did indeed mention it was free!! Glad you enjoyed it and the Ssss was actually me holding back from singing the word 'sh1t' instead of the word 'show'! If you listen you can hear me laughing to myself just after.... I wasn't aware at the time but heard it after reading your comment!!

I do appreciate your input 👍
