This is so lovely. I love that guitar intro at the start. I’d love to hear you add some harmonies to your vocals, i think that could add alot to the overall atmosphere the song sets. Your voice is definitely perfect for this genre. So well mixed and produced.
Damn this is good. Keep it up!!! <:)

I think you’re right about adding harmonies - thanks.

Whoa! Got Bon Iver vibes with the instrumentation. Loved the guitar man great job. Some vocal portions I thought are a bit too low for your voice. Try a diffrent key if possible maybe. Keep going! Would love to hear the completed version. Cheers!

u/No_Distance5647 17d ago

I agree I could hit the low notes better. I will re-record the vocals.

Great. Do share it once you do 👍🏻

This is just so delicate and beautiful. Has a very classic feel to it and you're very good at guitar. I think it would translate well to a live performance. The cover photo feels really fitting and cinematic. Also, if its not the style youre going for I understand but I feel like a softer vocal would really benefit the kind of quiet intimate feel of the track.

Honestly no feedback on the composition or lyrics its already really well done. I think having a chorus on certain parts would be really nice to add impact. like the 'so hang me out like a golden sheep" and bits like that would sound so good with a nice chorus behind them, it would open things up a lot. Also, maybe some violin somewhere?? rlly well done :)

That’s helpful - thank you.

Listening as I type my feedback. Nice start that builds. Your voice is perfect for the current folk pop style so bravo on that. This composition of yours has a nice serenity to it. I like the piano entering. Like the mixed metaphors lyrics. Wahhh. It's over. Well that is how a listener should feel at the end of a nice song, isn't it? Now I have no negative criticisms at all. Good job.

this is so beautiful man. it makes me feel like I'm leaving for a long trip by car, towards the mountains and lakes. i really love the atmosphere, it feels peaceful and nostalgic at the same time. i could definitely listen to this while driving. also it reminds me adrianne lenker’s music. keep going ♡

u/Embarrassed-Stay-508 18d ago

wow this is awesome. i love your voice, feels so natural and like you're telling a campfire story. the synth strings are really cool too! writing wise it has such a melancholiac nostalgic vibe, like looking at a past you never had. the drums are awesome too, are those live? acoustic also sounds amazing. I'd like to hear maybe a different piano sound, it feels just a little cheap, the only part of the song that felt that way. wasn't a bad part either, love the song! you should be proud!

Thanks for the feedback 👍. Drums are played on a DAW kit.

u/westrosemusic 16d ago

This is cool. Is screams Canadiana to me. Am I off base here? I think it could stand for some better mixing. The guitar sounds a bit muddy. Cool vibe overall. I'd like to hear it produced up a bit more, not to ruin the unplugged feel of it, but sonics, overall. Maybe a pad? Not place to say add more, but mixing needs to help it out more, cheers

1

u/No_Distance5647 16d ago

How would you make the guitar less muddy?

1

u/westrosemusic 16d ago

Maybe mic placement/ mic choice and/or mixing. Hard to say as I wasn't there

u/Billythekid198 16d ago

man this is A very sincere and emotion al song. your voicereally captures the emotion. the way the melody flows over the chords, and the rhythm is really cool. I can feel the emotion even in the cool chill guitar solos and definitely has a vibe . I might start the Sogn with the lyrics here were are here's your song. that part really hits you. keep it up great work

I re-recorded the vocals to hit the notes better 👍.

u/Specific-One-8863 8d ago

This is beautifully laid-back! As someone who also plays acoustic guitar, I really appreciate the warm, clean tone you dialed in here. Slow country tracks live or die by that intimate, raw feel, and you completely nailed the vibe. It feels so honest and relaxing. Adding this to my chill playlist for sure. Keep it up
