With strings in the end or without...

Should there be some fake strings in the end.... or should it be left alone as is??? Thanks for the advice!

Sounds nice - please a.turn up the vocals and b.ride the hell out of them so not a word is lost...its that kind of song...ends of phrases are getting lost and its a strain to hear, which is a shame!

Only sound comment really - can you get the repeating guitar motif delay thing 'bigger' and more anthemic, its the only thing which I think is a bit thin....(listen to Achtung Baby or Joshua Tree for inspiration on delay noodling of course!)

Nice vibe though.

Strings? Nah...if the guitars got bigger/did something/floated into space at the end I think you can do without strings. It's a cool song - strings at end = not cool.

AND I am sure I can hear those earthworks on the drums

Ya... thats what I thought. Its just funny in this day and age how every friggin song has strings to enhance the emotional impact on rock pop. The bassist and I wrote a song a few months back and he was jumping out of his seat every two seconds to throw strings on everything....LOL
