1- try to add external efx to your keyboard/synth that u would use 4 other purposes (a guitar pedal?) and make it even more minimalist 2 achieve your brand nu sound (by the way your rhytmic & basslines r quite complex)

2- i guess u work a lot with midi...so try 2 get some virtual synth (prophet 5,absynth just 2 name a few) and use'em with your pc midi platform (cakewalk)
the range of sounds would b much much better.
or even beter get reason (name of a software),is a complete platform of work in your pc and u can do a lot with midi too,it gets a while to understand how 2 work with but u could discover unexpected possibilities with a strike

Jshua, awe shucks man! Don't know what to say, but Thank You! I'll post the lyrics.

As far as visuals go, it might be the , haha, just kidding. Well actually, the when I first got the lyrics and melody to this I was stoned at the guitar player's house. He and his friends were playing some computer or video game and I was watching. But I was looking at the screen like you look at those 3-D pictures that don't look like anything until you stare for about a minute? Anyway that's how I got the first line, it just came to me with the melody. So I called my house and left myself a message singing "I'm looking more at the colors than what's actually happening. I see your eyes all a flutter and I forget my dreams."

My friend wondered where I was and he found me in his room singing on the phone. And he was like "Awwww YEAH!", and he turned all his equipment on in his studio in the next room. So then I did the beat and a few other sounds. He saved it, but I ended up re-creating what I had done at his house when I got home to my computer. And I've been working on it ever since. So here are the full lyrics.

Looking more at the colors
than what's actually happening
I see your eyes all a flutter
and I forget my dreams

You say the dogs are finally mad
and coming through
You fantasize of lullabies
and never see the truth

Sparks of light all a flutter
in the corners of my eyes
I’m looking more at the water
than your modus operandi

You say the dogs are finally mad
and coming through
You fantasize of lullabies
and never see the truth

I can do most anything
relive my dreams
I can lie and turn around
most anything
doesn't matter what you say
I'm yours today
You turn around and turn away
My pretty daze

Some of this you may have already heard....Im too tired to read all of the other post....lol

As always your voice is as sexy as hell!!! Keep it up front!

I really like the uniqueness of the rythm section and the complex bass line!
Very cool! They do sound a lil casio like tho...If you can't get a better sequencer or drum machine then try adding some compression to the drums and bass. Or adding more mid and bass to them with a eq.

I may be wrong but it sounded like you ran the entire song through the same fx?
There are no rules with this stuff, so dont take this as one but, usually for funk stuff
the bass and drums will hit harded with just comp and eq and just a sprinkle of rvb.

For the vocals eq them up around 4-6db at 80khx raise it up to around 6-9db if needed.
Its all how you hear and feel it.

Check out this article on mixing. Not rules just guidlines.
