Hey,
I think this sounds great, especially for a first post.
It is super to have another pop writer hanging around--and I love the overall sound! Thanks a lot for your nice feedback, David. [...]Is this you singing? Are you in a band? Do we address you as Eleanor? Is this your stage name? What instruments do you play? How long have you been writing? I see you posted the real tracks so that is great. Answers for your questions: - unfortunately it's not my voice
- not in a band
- call me B.D. or just Thomas, whatever you like most. Eleanor Lennox is the stage name of one of my projects
- I play guitar, keyboards and cajon, but not good enough for any kind of live-performance. I've learned those instruments solely to be able to compose music.
- I've started writing music about 15 years ago, but stopped 2011 because my interests shifted and I hadn't much spare time anyway. About a year ago I re-discovered my old passion and started writing again
Can you post the lyrics??  I've added the lyrics to my very first post. Thanks for the reminder!

Hello B.D., and welcome to the forum! I think you've got a nice sound here. Although our types of music are quite different I also consistently mix the drums with not enough volume. The folks here have been very helpful while I've been trying to learn mixing, something I'm very new at. Hi Brad, thank you for the nice welcome and advice, I appreciated this a lot. Mixing in general is not a problem for me, I had a little studio and have mixed and mastered songs for local bands. But when I sold my house and moved back to Germany the studio was part of the deal, and so far I didn't find the time to build a new studio. And when you mix in an untreated room it's very hard to judge drums (and the low-end in general) of a mix, it's a hit and miss sometimes. [...]I hope that you also critique others music on here, sounds like you would have a lot to offer. Welcome, I think you'll enjoy it. I did already There are a lot of genres here where I don't feel at home, but when I think that I've understood a song I try to write something constructive. Or just write that I like it...

Welcome aboard, B.D.!
Very catchy song. I too hear the Cranberries in the vocal (which is excellent by the way).
As some others have stated, bring up the drums more, but other than that, sounds good.

B.D.:
I love the sound and feel of this song . . . wonderfully mixed, nice depth. The vocal is great and, in particular, those harmonies are so tight and deep. Just the right touch of reverb. I’ll agree with rayc on the “too much drinks”— it does seem a bit off—and also where it might be nice to throw a change up with a bridge or a step up. But the vibe you have is really compelling. Cool listen!
All my best,
Deej

Update:I finally found some time to work on this song again, and I did a couple of changes: - changed the grammar and clunky phrasing, special thanks to rayc. I hope I did not create new problems
 - made the drums a couple of dB louder
- made the vocals (slightly) less loud
I didn't change the structure of the song, whatever I tried (bridge, pre-chorus, rhythmic variations, more dynamics in the chorus) changed the song in a direction I liked less. I've created a Soundcloud account for this project, so if you're not yet tired of listening to this song: https://soundcloud.com/eleanorlennox/city-punk-bluesChanged lyrics:Walking down the city really bored and looking sh*tty after too many drinksWaiting for the city to wake up and to look pretty having too many drinks[...] Do what you want I don't listen anymore You're a f*cking waste of time someone I'll better try to ignoreto ignore, to ignore, to ignore, to ignore Thanks again for all the feedback I got from you all, you guys'n'girls rock. I really appreciate that!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
