Wanna hear my music?

So....
I never do this, but thought I'd share a new song I'm working on and get your feedback. I normally tend to overfill the space, and am consciously trying to leave more negative space to let things breathe a little more.
I'm recording everything in my bedroom studio, using Logic. The guitars are straight in, the bass in recorded out of a line out I had installed into my SFDR (although, the signal has a fair amount of buzz in it), and the vocals were recorded on an SM57 with a paint roller tube over the top (extra fine, for the smoothest of t0nz).
Edit: updated track is on pg4, new new song is on pg5

I think it's quite good man! Love the overall vibe, the vocal melody and the
very warm and analog synth sound! Guitars sound great too
. I think you could probably "explode" more towards the end. And I'm not digging the click-like sound around 1'25.
Very nice sir!

Thanks for that! I'll work on it a little more, but kinda liking what I have so far.
I appreciate the input.

Nice man, I really liked that. Your voice reminds me a lot of Elliott Smith. I especially love that last chord you hit on the guitar

The guitar is my 'new' '66 JM I bought from Jaguar018, with the original pickups. The thing is just amazing, I can hardly put it down. The strummed guitar in the end is actually my Telecaster plugged directly in, pretty raw. I don't think I did too much to its signal, just hit record and left it.

Sparklehorse and Elliott Smith are both huge idols of mine, so those are massive compliments! I emailed this to a friend of mine and he said it sounded like Radiohead and Beck covering "Good Vibrations"...imagine the smile on my face reading that.
The 'analog keyboard' sound Axolotl mentioned is actually my Rhodes 73 Mk I running through my Germanium 4 and Memory Boy. No other effects were used IIRC.
Anyway, I really do appreciate your kind words and input. I never really allow myself/give anyone the opportunity the chance for anyone to hear my music, so I find this incredibly humbling and nerve racking. I normally keep these things close to my chest, holed up in a computer in my little studio.
My above-mentioned friend has been yelling at me for years to get off my ass and do something about it.

Great song! Love it.
The recording sounds very high quality, and I really like the stereo image you've created with the vocals.

It's definitely got a Radiohead "All I need" aspect going on, which I like. I also heard a bit of Caribou in there (

All of this feedback is actually making me want to listen to it.
I'll be sure to check it out the first chance I get.
