Positive Comments: Sweet, warm, soft, well made. The vocals are good. Too often I hear songs that have absolutely flat or wavering leads vocals, and this is one of the few, that clearly does not. I applaud this, as people aren’t always meant to be vocalists, and it’s nice to see someone who is. The guitar and bass mesh so well together! Feels just…yeah, warm. Comforting. I commend the 3-minute mark. So many songs here are over 4 mins and there’s just no need. You said all you needed to. sometimes more is less. Good work!
Constructive Comments: There feels like A LOT of compression on this. Listening on my studio monitors and it booms in an awkward way. What’s interesting, is the song “Hello My Old Heart” by The Oh Hellos does this same thing, mixed to have a super deep warm acoustic vibe. One of my favorite songs, but that track is uncommonly well done, and I’m afraid it was a bit overbearing for yours. This may be a slower-paced Niel Young Kind of folk, but don’t be afraid to mix some pop in there! Folk-pop is booming right now! I feel you’d make a real hit if you gave yourself some leeway to adapt to that market. This one is getting a little niche in 2020.
