I think it's not bad considering I use a simple PC headset and I don't have experience in production smile

Go on then... I'll have a go.

Well, firstly it's not really my cup of tea musically, but there are some nice melodies in there, almost of a Marilion or Kate Bush 1980s type of esque.

Levels needs a bit of work in the mix and some of the drum rolls/loops seem a bit out of time.

Vocal wise, it reminds me of the summer time when the Polish lads rock up into the car park next to my flat.

They play their music rather loud and tend to sing along at high volume, booming their way through several pallets of cheap Polish lager at the same time.

But, to be honest, it is 100% better than anything I could produce, so none of the above is any kind of criticism, it's just my opinion.

Now of course it is easy so to sit here and not criticise and just give opinion, so one has to offer some direction.

Either:

Continue with composing the nice melodies and haunting atmospheric parts and find a good female singer whose vocals will fit.

Or ramp up the music side into a bit more of a 'Goth Rock' vibe.

hey, thanks for the comment, yes the voice is out of pitch at places, partly to my laziness not to sing it again (or in parts to connect them later) partly to my neighbours not liking the midnight noise so I had to sing quieter which is never good smile

it was more of an experiment but since some people really like the song I might go to the studio and record it properly smile
