This is a sneak preview... I may redo this from scratch.  Still trying to figure how to close this album but I figured I'd share where I am and get some input from you guys.

Enjoy and don't hold back the advice!

I think you have the makings of a really good song here , at this point i think you need a more prominent vox to dominate the whole thing , dont start again , this is great

Agree with Rob.
Would also like to hear some guitar harmonies at the start instead of the one string notes.
Terrific song though, shows a lot of promise, really nice .

I like it, FuzzFace - it's got a Lou Reed/Velvet Underground feel to my ears.

I'm afraid I'm not so good for giving specific tips for improvement, but I would probably lower the guitar volume in the beginning, or raise the vox as Rob and Kenneth mention. Is there a keyboard back there in the mix? Some strings or other pad type of sound mixed a little higher might be a good thing, too.

I'd like to hear the vocals even more intimately--sung even more quietly, and right up on the mic.

This is a really interesting song.  I love the whole Picasso Project.

On my third listen now ! I really love this !

I do agree with Ted on the vox, and with Kenneth on the guitar intro, maybe starting a harmony-guitar at about 00:11.

The mix of the instruments is fab !! Love that powerful acoustic guitarsound !!

Yeah i gave this a listen a few hours ago and Kenneth totally said what i was thinking. Harmony guitars.

Sounds like you have the main part of the song done.
 I wouldn`t say you have to do too much to make it more adverse.

 Great closing song i would say for this project! Kudos Fuzz!! ;D

Really nice peice. going on . i agree with above. and perhaps developing
the ending a bit more. the whole song is quite smooth . but the ending
just drops offf. perhaps  u should try and fade out more on that .
good luck . with this. but thumbs up and im sure all will come out fine

This has a great feel to it...very intimate and uplifting, a strong closer for the album. I like it how it is but I agree with Ted. The vocals could be sung up close to the mic. I want to hear them more clearly but almost as a whisper in the cans. I'll have another listen with headphones when I get a chance. I love the drum arrangement...makes me bob my head in an affirming way.

Great song FF, just needs a tweak on the mix. Unfortunately it's one of my weak spots so I wouldn't presume to advise but I look forward to hearing it after a final mix. Good job........Willie
