Song: Snowy Mountain Stream
Reviewer: Monday Funeral
Positive Comments: I very much liked the feel of this song. It is laid-back and like a nice warm summer breeze. I like the walking baseline, I like the goal with the syncopated rhythm guitar. The lyric, making love on the floor struck me in a good way. It confirmed the feel of the track. There is an easiness in the song that listeners like.
Constructive Comments: I would like to hear more clarity in the arrangement. The rhythm guitar, to my ear, it’s too loud in the mix. The lead guitar lines get overshadowed, and I can’t really hear what’s happening. I’m wondering what would happen if the lead guitar, at times, doubled the vocal exactly. It’s sort of playing off of it, but in the mix, I feel like it distracts the listener. I’m also really thinking keys would enhance the sound. I can hear great opportunity for someone with piano chops. It might take some of the pressure off the one rhythm guitar, and help spread the arrangement.
