And maybe on the vox apart from the pre-chorus. Maybe on the droney guitar under the break after the chorus. Your xylophone/marimba (no idea what it is ) line is making me want to hear that outro guitar line drenched in some surf rock reverb/delay/tremolo. I'd also see how that sounds under the first half of the second verse. I'd throw a LFO or some kind of filter on it. That or make the first beat of that verse even MORE pronounced if you're going for a more dramatic change. I'd almost take the drums from the very next verse and use them here instead. It's still carrying a lot of energy from the chorus. I like the break btw, good way to cool down back into the verse, and I think you could play with some dynamics there to ease that transition a bit more. Make it linger in the listener's mind thru that break afterward. That 'shockwave' at the end of the chorus is something I'd add some subtle (or not so subtle!) effects to, to make it pop as well. Once the guitar comes in it sits much better tho! Not sure if it might translate that way on other setups if you keep the mix like that. Really seems to sit in the same space as the bass. Sounds better in the more expensive buds but still doesn't pop like the choruses.

What stood out to me on the cheap earbuds is that the vox in the verses just didn't stand out at all.

Also like this arrangement setup you've been going with with the xylophone/marimba. The delay on the 'hey's there is something I'm doing for a song too, adds a lot of attitude and I like that. All just off the dome here so probably saying stuff you have already noticed, or is plain crazy:įirstly, the way everything grooves when the guitar comes in, and the way the guitars layer to build up to the chorus, is.
