Description
I have been working on this for a little while now and I'm not entirely happy with it so would love a little feedback.
The sampled vox will be replaced by mine once I get my mic set up again.
The problem I am having is deciding whether the trumpets are not enough, too much..
Whether I can get away with having the song this long ( 3.54) or is it too long and repetitive.
Finally, does it need more than those accent vocals?
If anyone is an amazing trumpet player .. would love to maybe have you collaborate rather than have the sampled trumpet. Sax would also be wonderful :)
This is definitely a work in progress so the mix is not the best

Wow! I can't believe no one has left a comment yet! We MacJammers be falling down on the job!
You have created an excellent groove. You layer and vary textures very nicely; you have a very good feel for this. The trumpet is good as is.
Suggestions:
To me, it does feel like it needs something to mix things up after a while; you maybe go on a bit too long with the material. The most natural solution that I can think of is to introduce a "B" section in a different key, and with a different character; maybe with a greater focus on percussive sounds.
Regarding the repeating vocal hook, one thing you could try if you wanted to vary that up a bit is to selectively omit some of the words, e.g., look up in the... it makes you feel... look up... makes you... look... etc. It is just a way of keeping listeners more actively engaged, because the repetitions are inexact. You could also rearrange the words so that different meanings may emerge; this too keeps listeners on our toes!
It's always nice to hear something new of yours!
