Demo of "Sarah"

[wallabie]

Hi,
Bernd Harmsen and I wrote a new song. I´ve recorded a rough Demo this weekend. Would be lovely if you´d have a listen and tell me what you think... what can I do to improve?

Very pretty song. I really like the piano instrumental bit about a minute and a half in. Some of the chord changes about 3 minutes in (when the extra voices come in) are really cool, unexpected and interesting. I also like the idea of harmony vocals (and could even do with more), but I think you could redo the added voices so it's a bit tighter throughout that part. For my taste, all the vocals are a bit too prominent in the mix. I am also not a fan of the strings--I'd rather hear acoustic guitar or organ sounds. But I realize that this type of song tends to go that route, so don't take too much stock in my personal preferences. Again--nice song.
