Positive Comments: Interesting start to the vocal with what sounds like an octave effect. I like 1:45 where there is a full break and the song starts to build more. Love the guitar sound. The overall pallet of musical colors in this song is interesting and engaging, meaning I want to hear more and I’m invested in this tune. I would like to hear more from you. Possibly the most interesting thing about it is that it appears to have a time signature that I can’t figure out! It feels like a 6/8 but there are extra beats in there!
Constructive Comments: When it hits about 1:00 I think the vocal needs to be going somewhere more. At some point I would have dropped the octave sound of the lead vocal as it starts to become repetitive. The melodic idea should be developed in this song while I feel the song needs a B section or some other place that it should go. To me, when it gets to the change around 4 minutes, that change happens too late in the song. OK, so where IS the 1? As a drummer I’m stumped. If you asked me to play this song with you, we would spend time counting together till I got it! lol! Nice work here though. This song has its own vibe for sure.
