Song: WOULDN’T LIFE BE EASY?
Reviewer: Catch Ten One Ten
Positive Comments: I love the instrumentation, strumming pattern, half time drums. Strings underneath. Very well made backing track. Good use of subtly panning instruments. The silence and cymbal crash to introduce changes is well made. Lyrics have a great balance of Universal relatability and still being deep (Something I rarely accomplish, so I tip my hat to you!) I LOVE THE ENDING. Just done. I was expecting a fade-out (bleh) but no! You really tugged at my heart here, you asked the question and let my wonder ring out as the ending. Brilliant songwriting! Vocals fit the genre well 🙂
Constructive Comments: It’s very repetitive. There is a wonderful instrumental bridge but not until a full three minutes, and then just gets right back to where it was intensity wise. (Some big deep toms, which are nice) That good strumming pattern just blasts for a full 4 mins to the left channel panned at around 60 I imagine, and it doesn’t evolve really. The vocals hover at the same melody nearly the entire track. If this was cut to 3 mins or less, honestly I’d rate much higher. That being said, I feel there are some really amazing concepts at play here, that just didn’t reach their full potential.
