ray,
This sounds great.
I can now understand the words. They sit perfectly in the mix - which they did before - and are clear enough to understand. Perfect.
The guitar spread is super. Cool solo.
Excellent.

The songs had a really interesting intro, and the mix was really neat. Thanks for sharing!

Ray,
I really like the mix now. This is really great and I still love the discordance.
This song works a treat. Interesting and impressive.

Nicely done - I thought the Stephen Smith version took a slight upperhand, but they are both good in their own regard  Makes for a really interesting listen. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,

Stephen version sounds even more like "Death Cab for Cutie", almost like it was mastered to one of their songs. ready for public release! Nice work.

You've polished this musical composition very well... A tip of the hat to all who were involved in the creative process... Have you ever considered releasing your final masters through Amuse ? https://amuse.io/

Man that is some nice work Ray! This mastered product is pro level to my ears! The ME has a long track record as a highly regarded engineer and it shows in this project! What a great song/arrangement! This vocalist did an excellent job for you on this! Thanks, Torrey

Ray,
This really jumps through the `phones now- highly professional sound.
I`d agree the Steven Smith version slightly edges the two in this guise- the lyrics coming through clearly.
Love the solo & everything else about this.

The "tweaks" and mastering have worked a treat Ray. Sounds great.

Nice!
The "sheen" is obvious (bit more on the Smith version) but just enough on each.
It sounds great on the KRKs.
Vocal cuts most excellently.
