I took to heart what everyone (and other is many places) were saying and had my cousin re-mix in Pro-Tools. I just have limited means in that I am not that familiar with the software. I think he addressed the issues, the drums feel a lot better, the vocals are out front more and the acoustic was brought up a bit to give it a little more rhythm.

Love to hear your comments, good and bad. Thanks! Josh

what a difference. Don't get me wrong, the original was excellent but this is in the pro category of polished. The ambience on all the backing tracks blends perfectly. Very strong pop sensibilities. I can say I knew you "when" :-)

Yes, this is better. Bravo. Take your cousin out for pizza and a beer. Great job! Thanks. This is a great song. I listened twice to make sure that there was a difference.

Awesome, thanks for the comments. Yeah I was amazed, I slaved over this track for around 20 hours. I was almost embarrassed that he spent around an hour tweaking what I had done to make it sound this good!

Great singing & playing You really sing from Your Heart : ) !!! KUDOS Love the lyrics... heheh

"I'm feelin' a little like Peg and Al
married with children
losin' my hair ...
its gettin' to the point that I don't care ..."

Better recording its smoother & more 'solidsounding'both instrumentallyvocally meaning good/better (!) You got a deeper vox in this I think - The thing I like more in one way about the first is the 'closeness' which often can be less the more remixed(?) (if I'd not heard the first I wouldn't have thought about it really) ..i'm no musician though...lol... Nice to see You here this is a great place !

** Time out
Take a break
don't you havr a breath you need to take
you talk more trash than Warren Sapp
faster than Gordon on his last lap
you been on my case for three days now
I'm feelin' a little like Peg and Al
married with children
losin' my hair
its gettin' to the point that I don't care

I'm Numb
I can't get up to get away
chained down by all my mistakes
that you bring up day after day
I'm numb
how am I supposed to change
your words are just like novacaine
weighin' me down

you'dve thought somebody died
cause I spent 50 cents just to super-size
left the toilet seat up and the air down low
you say I'm like Tyson out of control
but you're the one throwin' punches and bitin'
and i don't even know the reason we're fightin'
you make everything last so long
like the Energizer Bunny you go
on and on and on and on

I'm Numb
I can't get up to get away
chained down by all my mistakes
that you bring up day after day
I'm numb
how am I supposed to change
your words are just like novacaine
weighin' me down

I can almost feel my finger tips
but here comes another morphine drip
I wonder what I did wrong now
I wish that we could work this out

I'm Numb
I can't get up to get away
chained down by all my mistakes
that you bring up day after day
I'm numb
how am I supposed to change
your words are just like novacaine
weighin' me down
I'm Numb
I can't get up to get away
chained down by all my mistakes
that you bring up day after day
I'm numb
how am I supposed to change
your words are just like novacaine
weighin' me down ***

Really well done I didn't hear the original--don't need to-great job!

You have an awesome rock vocal, the kind that sells records. I hope you're young enough to take full advantage of it. Great writing and performance. Production is good, only thing is, it hits like a Mac truck when it opens. Not good for the ears or speakers.
Peace

More please!

Be well friend!

Really catchy mate. Big chunky sound. Nice work on the arrangement. The guitar solo works nicely. The harmonies are great. Drums sound good too. Excellent.

about the original but this is great

Dude, this is radio ready. I assume you have sent this to someone. If not I would get on it. Great vocal and guitar hook, great vox, everything is incredible. Nice job. I'm glad I stopped by.

Thanks everyone! I haven't sent this to anyone yet, but hope to very soon. Our local rock station has a "locals only" hour Sunday night...they are pretty picky and play mostly harder rock, but I'm hoping to get a few spins. Wish me luck!
