Hi thedon - hope you are doing well !

- Cool intro ! is it a bass pad you added? Start of song is cut off by a fraction.
- build to chorus is great - chorus sounds like it has a great balance too
- nice drum sound happening
- vocoder. Interesting - not really to my taste but a subjective comment.
- Like the vocal delays in second verse - adding more interest to the arrangement- nice
- bridge. I like the alternate guitar being featured
- solo. First reaction was it a bit thin sounding but it grew on me a bit
- bass fills - maybe an opportunity to bring them up a bit - they are a bit masked in the mix. Automation perhaps.
- lead at end - yeah, it'd be tempted to bring some weight back into it. Purely taste, as it sounds good.

Cheers again for mixing the track ! A solid mix - if you were mixing it for me, I would give you the above comments - mainly the vocoder and eq on the lead guitar, but digging it otherwise. Hopefully helpful !

Thanks for the detailed feedback Thomas.
Going ok here in lockdown !
The Intro isn't a pad it's just an octave lower of the guitar.
The Vocoder sound was is just an added upper and lower octave of the vocals ,will remove in the next version and make some adjustments following your feedback.
Cheers
