Positive Comments: Really nice acoustic guitar sound and a very pleasing weave between two tracks of it left and right. The string parts are really really tasty–love the hard accents and emphasize 3 feel. Nice smooth vocals throughout with a very pleasing vocal timbre. The melody, phrasing and lyrics are top notch and compelling. The drum track has such a nice rolling feel that propels the tune but feels very open. This is excellent work!!
Constructive Comments: It seems like there’s a bit of conflict in the high >10K range with too many chirpy parts. Maybe shelf EQ on the acoustics to tame the very high end. The vocal isn’t as clear as it should be–are you doubling too much? Also maybe duck the instruments a bit under the vocals. Maybe a chord change on *make* in “as you make it up”, which would give a lift and emphasis. This is one I’d really love to her perfected.
