Sweet. I think the opening and closing really did it. I also like the build-up.

We were gonna cut that out, but it sounded really good. So we kept it. Glad you like it.
Very nice summer tune reminds me if the good ol times I was summering in the summer as a little kid
aside from the recording, again, good riffs in here. couldn't really hear the drums as clear as everything else, but as we approach your newer songs, I'm sure you've addressed the input audio recording issue.

Thank you, people! x2
Hm, I'm not sure what I should think about this. I like the main riff here, it sounds pretty funky. But what I'm missing here is some good drum work and much more bass. Right now this sounds as if it was recorded in a tin can. No bass present here at all.
However, I liked the ending here. We can hear some muffled sounds and it seems as if someone is leaving the room and the door closes. This is a nice gimmick, in my opinion.

The quality really brings this down. From the engineered backing beat that's available on most keyboards to the low bass sound of the track generally that indicated you either need better recording hardware and software, or somewhere with better acoustics to perform, there's something not quite right.
I'm not sure what a wooden door opening and shutting has to do with one being imprisoned - I'd personally have gone online and found a more convincing prison door shutting or slamming, to give more realism in the piece.
The track really needs a bassline, as well as something with more body on the drums. From the sound that you currently have, the bass isn't present at all, which takes all of the life out of the piece. Giving it at least some would give you a well rounded piece and allow people to focus on the guitar, instead of what the piece is missing in the background.
