Description
A little song I wrote a few weeks ago with a sort of contemplative, reflective theme.
I've played around quite a bit with some new master track settings I've just discovered in GB to try to improve the balance but find it pretty difficult to judge the mix ..... any thoughts?
cheers and thanks for listening

Lyrics
Galaxies of Light
Stop, look and listen
Take your time …
To recognise
The wonders that surround us
Stay awake …
Don’t close your eyes
Try to be receptive
You’ll be amazed by what you find
Open your mind and sieze the prize …
this is for real
Let time remind you
Not where you’re going
But where you’ve been
Let time define you
Affirm your place
Confirm your being
And should you find yourself surrounded
By those demons from your past
Don’t look back … don’t falter
like you did before
Was it ever such an issue
To confront …
Or reconcile
The doors of your perception
A preoccupation …...
For a while
Should you look back down the years
As I have done so many times
Amongst the dark days ...
You’ll find galaxies of light
Stop, look and listen
Take your time …
To recognise
The wonders that surround us
Stay awake …
Don’t close your eyes
Try to be receptive
You’ll be amazed by what you find
Open your mind and sieze the prize …
this is for real
Let time remind you
Not where you’re going
But where you’ve been
Let time define you
Affirm your place
Confirm your being
And should you find yourself surrounded
By those demons from your past
Don’t look back … don’t falter
like you did before
Was it ever such an issue
To confront …
Or reconcile
The doors of your perception
A preoccupation …...
For a while
Should you look back down the years
As I have done so many times
Amongst the dark days ...
You’ll find galaxies of light

I am not a huge fan of comparing songs I hear here at MacJams to existing artists, but I'm going to make an exception here. Your piece is very reminiscent of the Alan Parsons Project in their late 70's heyday. I have all their CD's and love their stuff. So please take that as a major complement.
The vocal popping is unfortunate, since the track is otherwise solid. I recently bought a 30 dollar pop filter and am very impressed how it filters out most of those annoying p's and b's.
Great harmonies and a very appropriate "go with the flow of the galaxy" delivery of the vocals.
One other quibble. The first notes of the shimmering guitar in the first musical interlude, before you sing "was it ever such an issue/to confront..." sounds sort of wrong for the chord underneath. Can't quite put my finger on it.
Enough quibbling. Good job.
