New recording/comment/critique...yes, again!

[the captain]

My drummer was good enough to go through a few songs with me last week--hence the new batch. Bear with me.

This one is my initial mix of "Growing a Mustache," which in parts is as silly as it seems. If a song whose lyrics mix an internal debate about growing a mustache, randomly naming superheroes and general self-doubt doesn't sound like your bag, well...ah, don't worry--I'm sure this song doesn't have that kind of lyrics!

I really would like to hear your comments or criticisms.

The song is the first one posted at:

*lol* I really like that "might look gay, but that's okay"-part 

I think the vocals need more power (that is, need to be mixed a little louder) and the cymbal kinda annoys me. Again, just my opinion, means nothing...

Thx for the feedback. I don't think anyone has ever told me to mix the voice louder! I usually swing the other way, making it way too loud. I'll give another few listens to see what I think about the drum/cymbals, but I only used three tracks for drums, so I am not sure what I can do, whether with volume, some eq or something else.

btw, the line was the first of the song. I was listening to the freddie mercury collection, the cover of which has one of those mid-80s photos of him.
