Can I throw in a defensive qualifying statement first.

Once again I liked your opening but by the middle I wasn't liking this as much as your previous efforts. That doesn't mean it's bad, and I'm not qualified to properly critique it anyway, this one just didn't grab me. I guess the music, which wasn't as rhythmical as your previous songs, overwhelmed the vocals a bit.
Anyhow, I'm in the slightly older demographic, so what would I know?

My thoughts on the lazy percussion are that it either needs to be cleaned up rhythmically or you need to make it louder/sharper - the song at times I felt lacked in drive. I liked the way the synth gave it a lot of fluidity as did those broken chords near the beginning(ish). To be extremely fussy I would say that the lyrics were a little too indirect for my liking; it didn't feel like they were connected to the rest of the parts.

cool thanks for listening kdawg

currently I'm remixing all the songs I have released to this point based on some things I've learned in the last little bit. So new remixes soon as well as a Radiohead cover on the way

I will be very keen to hear a Radiohead song given that they're one of my favourite artists.
