Hi all.
Once again in unfamiliar genre territory, but we're only here once so why not try?
I've changed the mix and settings about a dozen times or more and now I can't see the wood for the trees or sky for the stars. Can't even remember which BIAB tracks I used and which I discarded.

Is there too much bass pumping or kick? Vocal too loud?
Thank you
Vic

Lost in Space © Vic Arnold 2026
Feeling like a castaway,
on an island with no name,
looking over at my phone.
All apologies in vain.
They just run away like rain.
Now I'm dancing alone.

Lost in space.
Floating through the stars.
Lost in space.
Wondering how you are.

Go back through the years,
along the path of hopes and fears.
Maybe trying much to hard.
Dreaming what can't be redeemed,
of so many different schemes,
in this failing house of cards.

Does she ever think of me?
Is this how it'll always be
from now on?

Vic,

Everything about this song works. Love the write, tracks selections and your excellent vocal delivery. Mix is just right.

This is a new favorite for me...

Beautiful mix of the instrumentation and vocals. Nothing wrong there at all - the bass is fine - plus it's a great song both re chord structure and lyrics. It's very, very well done.

A great song with a memorable catchy chorus, sung well and backed by a great band.
The mix is well-balanced, bass and kick go well together with the rest of the band.
Personally, I’d use a little less reverb on the vocals so they stand out better and the sibilants are easier to control here and there.
But as it is, it’s already pretty good.
Enjoyed my listen [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
