Really nice stuff Roger.
The guitar at the background is too low for my taste, the drums are ok, but your vocals are great. I actually feel like the vocal part overdoes the instruments behind.
I liked the lyrics. Sad and transmitting, thanks!

Very nice! I miss these kinds of posts but I know you've had a really busy summer. Vocals were just about perfect, and the lyrics had a good message. Oh yeah, Liked the guitar strum. Thanks for the music. Really enjoyed it. Stan

I like the song a lot! Congrats! ;D
About the mix, to my taste, it is a lot better though I would center the lead vocal and back up the guitar just a bit, just so it stays behind the lead voice (which is great, by the way). Chorus and drums seem Ok as they are.

You deleted the files? How many times have you heard me say it? Backup, backup, backup. . . Nice and mellow. The guitar is a bit harsh compared to the vocal, so some EQ to mellow it slightly would probably have worked. Nice change in the middle of the progression; keeps it from being another humdrum mid-tempo ballad. Is there a bass track on this? I like it; it's just a shame you can't go back and tweak it a little more.

Hey Roger!
Nice! Mellow, with several unusual chord changes to spice things up!

I really like this Roger! Nice progression and melody. Each line starts on beat 2 of the measure and then ends on beat 1. After two lines of melody that stays almost exclusively on one note, the chord change and jump in melody on Stars ( ....every now and then and see the stars...) provides great contrast.
I like the second vocal that comes in on the bridge.
very nice!
Jim

thanks jim . . . . i appreciate that . . . . it is now in mcarps hands . . . . he has added bass and was going to add some more but decided the bass alone adds a lot to it . . . . hopefully there will be a new version this weekend, with mike's mix versus my "oh well, i guess it's done approach" . . . so stay tuned . . . . will be in seattle the whole week starting 10/4 . . . will call . . . . look what we started by getting together (and of course we were the first).... we have funstock, we have the international meeting in the uk . . . . ah, pioneers, we two . . . . . .
