Hope you don't mind me joining in, I thought the fx took over the song a bit as well and when the voices came together near the end the background voice did take over the lead a bit rather than just coming alongside, the lyrics are strong so the song can survive being stripped down a bit, I'm talking as a listener hilch, I'm not any good at recording yet
