Love that "I want you" ... insistent and, er, creepy... And that spoken section is brilliant... it sums that awful situation up perfectly... there are no winners... only losers... Poor ole Reg! How on earth is he gonna talk his way out of that phone message?!!!

Glad you changed direction - powerful song. Liking that insistent piano motif... during the instrumental (cool wah on the guitar!) I was suddenly aware of why I'd been feeling on edge all the way through... kind of focuses me on the lyrics. Cool.

Thanksgiving Day

Too far to remember my subtle suicide
And your words came and swept me away
And i woke up on this Thanksgiving Day
I was lost like a child in a secondhand store…
This is somewhat contrasting to the general trend on alonetone.com, but it is what I do sometimes at work and is a good sample of my playing stile when it comes to house/live performances.

New AR track, really keen to get a great mix, so I'd be very grateful if you could let me know how it sounds on your speakers. I'm a bit unsure about the bottom end.
Any mastering tips?
Thank you!
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
