Tuckersour Jr!! Quite like the title, the noisey start, the guitar solo. I also enjoy the chorus but feel it would need a little push, like some chaotic lead guitar or some extra oomph in the vocals. Turning everything louder, stormier and foggier.
Pretty good, congrats!

I'll work on it a bit.

Oh, you're in your Neil Young grunge phase now! I think Barny is spot on, there's a slight issue with the chorus and what I think it is is that you alter the chord progression slightly and change a bit your vocal intonation, but the metric of the words stays pretty much the same and it feels the chorus wants to take off but never does. So if I were you I would rework this bit: "All my thoughts are like the stormy sea In this restless mind, I'm lost and free" and try and see if you can alter the melody by stretching or connecting the two phrases, or by adding or subtracting. Basically you want to come up with a melody that feels like you're departing from the verse, I guess. But I love the "Like a Hurrican" sound on this, possibly the neatest production job I've heard from you!

I can completely see where you're coming from but doubt I'm gonna re-record the vocals because I'm a lazy fucker but I will certainly do something to help make the chorus stand out a bit more.

I like the melody vocal, but as I said it would better with an extra boost which can be just a volume switch plus a lead guitar lifting it all

I've tried to do a new mix. Not sure if it's better or worse to be honest but I think it does give the chorus a little bit more ooomph. I didn't add a lead guitar part to the chorus because I haven't go the patience to figure something out I've replaced the old version with the new mix: tommytuckerman.bandcamp.com/track/in-this-restless-mind

Alright, I did one last mix this morning because I wasn't happy with the new mix I mentioned above. I made everything a bit louder and tried to add some dynamics to the chorus.
