Early Byrds vibe great mix. Sounds like a band. Great lyric idea. I want to kiss her now!

Thanks very much to barrymk and trevlyns for taking the time to listen and comment.

I'm still interested in any comments, especially suggestions for improvements, that anyone might have.

THANKS!

Maybe start with fewer instruments, no harmonies.
i.e. there is no build up.
Around 2:44, end of solo, some echo effects? The vox seems too dry in that break.
The break should be 'quieter' and more kaboom when it ends.
Maybe the lead vox could be a db or two higher.
The harmonies could be clearer.The lead vox and bg Vox seems to melt together, muddy.
The 'I wanna kiss my wife' part lack emphasis.
Maybe rerecord with a less laid back style.

I have no wish to analyse this song. It's simply bloody good. There's that Byrds crossed with Happy Days vibe. "Are you ready for the osculating life?" sheer brilliance! A pop song to be proud of and you don't hear that very often. Puts a smile on yer face.
