I have to be honest with ya here... the millisecond delay that your gtr synth(probably a roland gr40?) is killing me. I'm not saying u r bad or anything... just that phrasing sounds a hair wrong.
the piano is nice, the bass is nice... even the rythm section is nice...

the wha gtr is nice. you might add a basic repeating melody with that same sound and pan it all left.

there is something good there in the basic "peanuts style" motif you have going... I like it. that's the part that's really working for ya.


needs to be mixed big time too.

almost forgot my discaimer...
just giving thoughtful/meaningful feedback... please don't take any of it personally... I try to tell people how to improve and always appreciate the same honesty in return... which reminds me - please return the favor and give a listen back.

i think your best choice is to get someone who is not a musician only a listener, musicians tend to critizize one as to hear what we would do, i always ask someone who isnt a musician and also yung people because its new to their ears, keep creating. :) :)

Fully aware of being at risk of turning your search for feedback into something less productive... I'll keep this short...
I dissagree... a musicians perspective is where you will get more 'usefull' feedback. If you just want to hear "you're great", then you're not looking for feedback - you're looking for fans.
Again, I liked where you were going with the rest of the song... and I mean that sincerely... but that gtr-synth riff at the front is off time... and not off time in a good way. It wrecks the things you have going for you in the song... again... this is just my 2 cents - take it for what it's worth. I mean no ill-will. And if I have the same issue in one of my songs I would hope someone would show the same honesty to me.
thanks
