Song: Lost in a Dream
Reviewer: Monday Funeral
Positive Comments: What I like most about this song is the feel. I do like the arrangement – simple and easy. The feel of the song works very well with the “lost in a dream” feel – which is no small thing. I LOVE how the snare comes in at 1:48. So subtle and so appreciated. Just the right feel and the perfect build. The guitar and bass line, how they play in harmony on that little step up and down at the end of the verse lines is a very nice color.
Constructive Comments: There is a lot of nuance to your music. And I feel like it could be played up a bit more. The play between the guitar and bass, the snare coming in for instance. Don’t underestimate the power of such simple nuance – make them more noticeable. The vocal has way too much effect on it for my liking. In this Neil Young / Dylan type of vocal, I like to hear the real room sound. The acoustic guitar sounds thin. Guessing its mic’d direct? I would prefer just a simple mic and more authentic sound.
