Sorry it took me so long to listen, but per your note here goes:

The guitar is too high up in the mix (the rhythm) compared to the percussion (shaker/snare/bass). I'd bring up the percussion before I lower the guitar. The lead is not bad..maybe just a tad overdone for the intro. The one thing I will say is it took well over a minute for the vocals to come in, which made me think this was an instrumental song. I'd suggest cutting down on the intro. Something around :30 or less (4 or 8 bars - maybe 12 if it's not too long) would be better.

The singer comes in and she's off key in a few spots. The music gets overly compressed and sounds like it's being played in a room somewhere nearby the singer, but not the same one. Look at your compression levels or overall levels and see what you can do about that.

The composition as a whole is fairly well played, but seems stilted and choppy often. The emotion of the songs lyrics isn't matched in the production or playing of the instruments. The singer also could emote more (somethin is not right - for example - off key and sounds like the singer is struggling to hit those notes/stay on key and in pitch).

Technically, this is all stuff you can work on to improve your songs listenability. As a song itself, it's a nice composition and something to be proud of. I do like the guitar fx and solo at the solo slot. It's a good sound. You should take that and make the rest of the song have that kind of overall appeal and it would increase it's listenability.

Hope that helps :) (Smile)

Great composition Matt!
The guitar solo is good, I like the sad rythmn/beat of the song, it's a very good one.

Subpar and bland. Icky. The solo is pretty nice, I like the weird sounds. I skimmed it, but I wouldn't have a different opinion if I hadn't. Maybe I would, but whatever. Yeah it's not that bad anymore. Hrumph.

I love this one...the whole mood is calming and the composition is great!..the voice is beautiful although it is true that needs a little more emotion in her singing ..just letting things flow inside..the solo is awesome...should check a little bit the production..low the levels..mayb another ending will do great..great work overall:) (Smile)
