New song.

Hey All,
Here's my latest effort, recorded today.

http://www.archive.org/download/HoldMe_684/loki_davison_-_hold_me.mp3

I'd like some input about if the 2 bass instruments and 2 lead
instruments are too much? Bass is played pizzicato and arco.

Lyrics:

You came to me and held me,
Washed the dirt of my feet.
Now Time it changes everything maybe you'll see,
    nothing is perfect but you're perfect for me.

I loved you when you came to me, you're eyes so open wide.
I took the shackles from your heart and now you run and hide.
I guess I saw it coming. The hope that you bring.
Hope it colours everything and burns when I sing.
Hope's a path to anguish. It teaches hearts to break. I should kick
this addiction but I think that it's too late.

Big thanks to Brian the Lion for the hydrogen drum templates.

Instruments:
acoustic guitar, electric guitar, double bass, vocals.

Loki

Hello Loki!
   I just listened to it. No, I don't think that the two basses are too much.
You could even get away with the two leads... :-) They sometimes seem a bit
sluggish to me. Beyond that they're nice and different enough in timbre.
   One thing I would like about this piece is, if you raised the volume of the
vocal track(s) relative to the rest.
   Kindest regards
         Julien

Loki, great song writing. It's a good song. I did have to turn my volume all the way up to hear it though. I think the mix was good but the levels should be higher.

Very nice mood and melody, good text.

It all feels a bit sluggish against those tight drums. So you should
either be more precise, or change the drums to be laid back. I guess the
optimum would be in the middle ;)

Singing should be more confident.
