I've been listening to this great song two times (downloaded it ten minutes ago), and here is mys first quick impressions: Starting with the good stuff first (and this is the most important): Great singing and voice and great song! And all that musical things with instruments and vocals that happens on the chorus makes me wanna play the song over and over - "skitbra"! :-) You have also done a good job in separating the instruments in the mix. Now, some words about the arrangement and the production: The way you compress your vocals (and adds some dist?), and cuts frequencies is a little bit much - I know: it's quite common to do it this days, but I think your voice have qualities that deserves a better treatment. Another word about the drums: The HH do have way to high volume and the song will benefit if you do some "pedal Hi-hat" in 4/4 when playing on the toms; the float stops when the HH stops. Also consider to use some decaying instrument in the choruses. Did you sit a little long time when mixing? I hope you take some rest from the song and try one more time. You and this song deserves to be heard by a big audience :-) Jostein
