Hi everyone,

Please take a listen. I want to know if anyone likes it or has ideas for improvement or who to send it to.
Please keep in mind it is a home studio demo and we know the singer is out of key in places, just looking to see if it has a good "feel" or not for future re-recording.

Thanks!

I'm not an expert on your style of music, it's been 20 years sine I was into that style of music.
.
That being said, the song seemed all right, to me.
Some of the volumes between the instruments seemed, umm, I dunno artificial.
The "La-las" took me by surprise, it didn't seem to fit the energy/style of the music.
Most folks might associate "lala" with a much softer style of music.
I'd keep them in the song, but, hmm, maybe change the 'La-las' to something different? 'Doo doo,' or something, that's easy enough. Just a thought.

The song seems to be a song that'd best be played LOUD, for a live crowd.

The bass is really loud in the mix, but without a lot of low end. The toms, on the other hand have a ton of low end. The lead vocal stands on top of the instrument - very dry (maybe add some delay or reverb to it. The la-la-la came out of nowhere, as did the female lead line at about 3:45. The song does seem to jump around from one musical theme to another to another - was this a band collaboration?
