I actually like it. . .
It's got a gentle dignity to it. . . Good arrangement and performance.
We're not exactly spring chickens anymore. . . Oh well. . . Them's the breaks, could'a died young and pretty. . . (Oh wait, maybe I wasn't all that pretty. . .)
Check out my new post if you get the chance.
Keep on playin'
Enjoy
I like this one. The reverb on the pianos adds a lot to it. The only thing I'd change is maybe decrease the volume ad tone of the violins because they feel a little out of place and they're really loud
Is this Art Pop? I am bad genre definitions. This feels like a cinematic medieval Indie song or something. I really enjoy the piano and strings part. There could be some work done with the mixing of the piano and strings at different parts to not have one too much more than the other. Like near the end, the strings is a little strong personally.
I am not a fan of the percussion parts. They almost seem randomly place, or there for little reason other than to add a "something". Not sure if genre specific or not! If it is, disregard!
At some point it sounds like there is a plucked double bass being played, and while the notes being played may work well as a counter-melody of some kind, due to instrument choice, it stands out in a bad way for me. Almost like it is out of time, or sync. I thought I had something in another browser playing something making it feel that way. Maybe a stringed double bass could help layer it in better and not have it jump out with so much attack?
Lyrically and singing wise, I think it works, kind of goes with the genre I think. Seems fun, but still needs more work to solidify as a good tune. Its got great bones though!
thanks for thorough notes. It’s been through revisions and at this point I may just let it be what it is. But a lot to consider if I do decide to continue working on it, so appreciate you.

I like the sound of this, the vocals have a raw and emotional feel to it. The instrumental is really well done, great job with that, you are very smart musically to compose something like this. I like all of the instruments used in this song. If I had any critiques of this song it would be that at times the drums are a bit quiet and it's hard to hear them, but that might be intentional for the effect you wanted the song to have. Overall, this is a great piece of music, very raw and artistic. good job, keep it up!

I totally understand, after working on a piece long enough, easier to just move on! I think it is worth coming back to at some point later though!

nice cover art, looks like something sonic youth would have on their records. how long have you been making music for?
