Okay, my mix of this tune.

Took a couple of extra days here because I just wasn't sure where to go with the tune. I may need more vocal compression and a couple of EQ tweaks but otherwise, I think it's there. The soft vocal was especially hard to deal with. Seems like it should be simple and yet he's still got a big dynamic range through the passage and you have to even that out before you can use it and THAT means having to go through and knock down breaths as well as much deesing.

One thing I did here was to extend the intro by about 40 seconds by duplicating some synth bits and adding them up front. In doing so, I personally think it makes this a much more powerful tune. It gives it a better chance to build and say what it has to say rather than just starting.

NOTE! The chorus is about 3dB above the intro. Don't crank your monitors or you'll get rather a start when the guitars come bangin' at the door.
