I quite like this song... and you've pretty well in the mix for this song.
The things that jump out at me in particular are the use of French and
English. The french suits this song nicely and is a refreshing change
from all the english thats overpowering everything else. A translation
might be useful if the lyrics have a particular context... otherwise it
doesn't really matter.
Also, I love how the synthisizer grows out of the left side of the stereo
space (shortly after the drums come in and before the lyrics). You
could've featured this idea a little more though, maybe filled the entire
space at times.
The backwards cymbal is also cool.
Somethings I wanted to change a little though... the song doesn't get
boring throughout the piece... but the lyrics do finish only halfway
through the song. It would be nice if they made an appearance a little
more towards the end of the piece (maybe just shadows of the french).
During the verses, the bass is too dull. I've got relatively decent
headphones on, but I can only barely hear it. A little more of the mid
range frequencies would be really appreciated there... it would help to
fill up those verses nicely.
The garageband snare just doesn't work. It is the only thing in the
piece that makes me say "Gah, this is garageband" and it doesn't suit
the mix very well. Perhaps if you could find a piccolo snare sample I
would be happy. At least something that was nice and crisp... and
didn't sound like the garageband snare.
Other than that... really nice work!
