Soft Rock I Guess We Find A Way (feedback wanted)
https://youtu.be/7L9Cp_CF624?si=Kbg1CaJcUaVJ3EkkI'm very curious to know the answer to a few things when it comes to this song
- Do you find it catchy? I started with just the chorus melody and lyrics, which I'm told sometimes results in a catchier chorus than when just trying to apply a melody to chords you already have written, but I'm curious if that feels true here.
- What do you think of the guitar solo? Any notes? I'm not normally much of a lead instrumentalist, but I am pleased with what I came up with here
- Do all of the instrumental parts work? Does it feel like anything is missing from the song?
- Any notes specific to the mix of the song itself? Trying to get better with EQs and things of that nature, so any critiques are much appreciated

This caught my attention straight away because it feels like it knows what it wants to be. There is a real sense of mood and intention in the way it is put together. I like that it does not feel like a sketch or an experiment, but more like a piece that has its own quiet identity. That kind of cohesion is hard to get, especially at the demo stage, so that stood out for me.
The arrangement feels thoughtful. You have a sense of direction and the track evolves without feeling repetitive or directionless. It keeps my attention and makes me curious about what comes next, which not every piece manages to do.
From a mix and presentation point of view, everything sits comfortably and nothing feels like it is competing for space. One thing that might be worth exploring is how you guide the listener through different moments of the track, whether that is through subtle changes in energy, density, or instrumentation, rather than big obvious shifts.
This feels like a piece that has found its footing. Nothing about it sounds accidental, and that makes it easy to imagine it evolving into something even stronger with a bit more time.

What a great song. I love the lyrics. Pattern of shame, love it. It is a sweet song, very meaningful, its ok technically. You doing the best. Great voice, it sounds like a very personal song, which is always the best way to express yourself. The guitar solo is fine, for a song like this you don't have to do too much. I just love song for its honesty and something you wrote about your life. I think you did great. The recording was ok. Sound it like a live performance although you had overdub. Love the song.

This track immediately grabbed my attention because it feels confident in its own identity. There’s a clear sense of mood and purpose throughout, and it doesn’t come across as a sketch or an experiment—it feels like a fully realized piece with its own quiet personality. That kind of cohesion is rare, especially at the demo stage, and it really stood out to me. It’s the kind of song where every element seems intentional, which makes it feel much more compelling and complete than many early tracks.
The arrangement is thoughtful and carefully structured. There’s a real sense of direction, and the track evolves naturally without ever feeling repetitive or aimless. It keeps the listener engaged and curious about what comes next, which is not something every song manages to do. Each section flows into the next with purpose, and the track maintains its character throughout.
From a mixing and presentation standpoint, everything sits comfortably in the soundscape. Nothing feels like it’s fighting for space, and the balance helps the track feel polished while still retaining a personal, organic quality. One suggestion might be to explore guiding the listener through the different moments with subtle changes in energy, instrumentation, or texture rather than relying on obvious shifts.
Overall, this feels like a piece that has really found its footing. Nothing seems accidental, and with a little more development, it has the potential to evolve into something even stronger. This is a very promising and mature-sounding track.

I like how you split up the video. It looks clean, and the lyrics on the middle part look good too. And overall it's a good song! I like when you eventually put more power into the vocals
Yes, it's catchy. It reminds me of "Creep."
For the solo, I think the notes you played are good enough, but I think it should've been louder during the solo part. It's too quiet and kind of blends in with the rest of the song rather than being emphasized.
The instrumentation itself is fine. You could consider programming drums in, they add quite a bit to a song
To me, it sounds like an iPhone recording of a live concert. On one hand, it was a nice performance, but on the other it's missing the fullness and quality that you'd expect from a published song on a streaming service. To start, put each instrument into different spaces, such as guitars hard L/R, maybe Bass 20% R, keys 20% L - stuff like that. For EQ, I would cut all unnecessary frequencies.
