Thanks for the feedback though everyone it's definitely appreciated. Especially the long drawn out critiques.
I'm not a mixing expert this is a first attempt.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

The story behind that is basically I have a bass guitar but in recording I noticed a background hiss that was kind of constant, my bass guitar is old and fairly cheap so I put it down to that.
There's definitely 60-cycle hum at the beginning, quiet part. I don't lay words against that when critiquing because it's a constant enemy and we all take it on the jaw sometimes.What I would do in my old home-cooking is run the bass through EQ killing that, and then boost the same bass track at around 125Hz to keep the thump in there. It had the added benefit of tamping down bass flop -- not that your track suffers that. It might be the bass, especially if your bass has single-coil passive pickups. But it doesn't sound intrinsic to the bass to my ears; it sounds more like an issue in the recording setup or engineering.
Okay I finally actually addressed the OP now I am not drunk as fuck.
The thunder at the beginning? The whole atmosphere? The whole wrting? The whole song?
How the fuck do I judge that harshly!?!?!??!
I'm listening to this on repeat until I EVENTUALLY find constructive criticism. This is GOOD.
The atmosphere reminds me as solo Paul Wellaish for some reason and the guitar on it reminds me of the awesome guitar work on Buckethead's Soothsayer (fully instrumental awesome rock song)
NICE guitar. I've got this on repeat, I'll get back to you Paul, this has far more depth and technique than I expected because fucking hell I didn't even know you wrote music!

I'm on my phone right now and It doesn't seem to let me give out rep.
When I get home though on my PC I'm definitely giving you rep purely for this comment.
Buckethead is my favourite guitar player, you're observant because I'm using a signature guitar lick buckethead uses, or at least it's influenced by his, I don't consider it stealing because he basically got it from Dave Gilbert.
Also soothsayer is one of the best songs by my favourite guitarist.

I fucking LOVE the STYLE.
It's like delicious technique and style and guitar shredding of Buckethead but a whole other atmosphere of it's own. I love it!
Still on loop by the way! I tend to listen to 1 song or album for a whole day to fully absorb the music (hence why I recognize the Buckethead, it's absorbed within me I reckon).
I've heard other Buckethead stuff and it's all technically well written music but I just feel like Soothsayer has so much fucking emotion inside it (and I LOVE it when a song can make me feel so much emotion WITHOUT EVEN ANY WORDS, that's powerful): And part of me thinks it's because it's about his aunt who died. So his whole heart got poured into that song. I had that song on repeat for weeks.

I have no idea why.
NOT fan off The Jam, don't like Mods, find The Jam a cheesy and uninspiring band (except one of their songs is kind of catchy and cool but I forget which one). Dislike a lot of Weller's songs too but I really really like some. Here is my two favorite's by him:

The Changingman is pretty much the theme song to my whole life and personality, TBH. I'm consistently inconsistent and predictably unpredictable. Is happiness real or am I just jaded?
What's the difference?
"The Changingman"
Is happiness real?
Or am I so jaded
I can't see or feel, like a man been tainted
Numbed by the effect, aware of the muse
Too in touch with myself, I light the fuse
I'm the changingman, built on shifting sands
I'm the changingman, waiting for the bang
As I light a bitter fuse
Our time is on loan, only ours to borrow
What I can't be today, I can be tomorrow
And the more I see, the more I know
The more I know, the less I understand
I'm the changingman, built on shifting sands
I'm the changingman, waiting for the bang
To light a bitter fuse
It's a bigger part
When our instincts act
A shot in the dark
A movement in black
And the more I see, the more I know
The more I know, the less I understand
I'm the changingman, built on shifting sands
(I don't have a plan)
I'm the changingman, waiting for the bang
As I light a bitter fuse
I'm the changingman, waiting for the bang
As I light a bitter fuse, yeah
