Thank you for the feedback. I pared the vocals back by 4db and they almost disappeared. I added another 3 and it sounds fine to me.

I appreciate your feedback. I've got 4 concerts coming up next week and it will be my first opportunity to perform the song live.

The hook tricked me as I thought it was a love-at first-sight song. I like your angle better as it's unique. Good job!

Great song Brian, I really liked the progression throughout, and thought it was a fantastic write. It's probably just me, because I didn't see anybody else mention, but I thought the vocal might be out front just a bit too much - take that with a bunch of salt. I'd like to hear how the song went over in your shows recetly. I think it's great and that it fits this genre well, but that it could go with a lot of others. My mind was kind of drifting to a western swing with it, though I've never been very good at putting that together. thanks for the listen,

Brad

I get what you're saying but I venture to say that much of our perception is governed by what we're used to. If you compare it with other jazz/swing standards of from the 30s & 40s I believe you'll find the vocals are much more to the fore than the way sound mixing is often done today. Even Paul McCartney's vocal in Till There was You is very up-front. In this case, when I pull back the vocals by more than 2db, they tend to be swallowed by the band.
P.S. So far, the feedback from live audiences has been enthusiastic.
