New Song: Never Going Back

This is a short little song (as it stands right now, eventually there will be another verse or a bridge). It's got a bit of an 80s vibe to it. The song sort of climaxes at the end, so listen all the way through - its less than two minutes.

NOTE: I've updated the link to the most recent version of the song.

Man I love it!
My only two suggestions would be to turn up your vocals a bit, and make your bass riff follow the chords of your song (instead of being one bass note played during the whole chorus).
But otherwise I love the progress you've made with it! Keep us updated on this.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!
"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

I like this song too. Definitely radio-worthy.

Rab/Swedish Frog, thank you for listening and commenting. Rab, you are right about the vocals, especially during the verse...I still need to fool with the volume but I haven't done so yet. I still need a bass line so if anyone is willing to give it a shot let me know.
Here is a link to the most recent version of the song (link above is also updated):

Dunno why, but I quickly got an image of current Brian listening to this & enjoying. Maybe it's synthesizers. I didn't like the sonic fx at the intro, fake claps or whatever, but then, it makes here total sense, so can't complain. You said your voice is weak, but I think it's due to volume & if necessary, you can yell very well. I'll tell ya, you got pleasant voice.
If done rightly, the tune could be a decent radio hit. Agreed with SF.

Thank you RR, for your kind words, I greatly appreciate your feedback. Maybe Brian would appreciate the timpani and castanets at the end of the song? Others have suggested turning the volume up on the vocals, maybe I'll give that a try. Thanks again for listening and commenting.
