Wanted to share this.
Kind of choppy so critique would be right on.
The second half is maybe overkill..
Any thoughts in general would be great. thanks!!

It's "your eyes, your soul" and not "your ass, your soul", right? I keep hearing it the latter way.

I like this song. The harmony on "to change your mind" is a bit off, to my ears, but the vocals are otherwise quite good (not enough singers on this site, IMO). The guitar is maybe a bit too forward and there's some boxy ringing going on. But I enjoyed it. I wouldn't be commenting otherwise (I don't comment on things I dislike).

Good song. Keep at it. A better mix, a stronger vocal take, and a more formal ending might nail it. (i like unresolved musical endings but this one felt like it just petered out)

Hey! Thanks for the critique.

I'm glad you liked the song in general.
I'm going to work at it some more to balance it out. and get the vocals more in key as well.

(I'm pretty new to vocals so its good to hear that they're ok.)
Also, the ending not complete.. totally agree!

The lyrics are "your eyes" but its kind of cool that it may sound like the latter. haha.

Really appreciate taking time to listen and comment!

Cheers!

Pop Trivia: Change Your Mind was a big hit for Sharpe+Numan in '85
