Got a bit drawn out around the middle, but other than that I like it a lot.

I felt like some times the main melody didnt sync up with the singing, it seemed like a note was missing or cut off, but that is my personal thought.

You have a great voice, the whole song is amazing for your first original song.

Quite nice. You have a pleasant voice, and solid composition skills. The middle section was cool, whole song in good taste & progresses well.

it feels like you are in falsetto or singing the same high note the whole time or something which was kind of annoying but the composition and the guitar and everything was pretty great.

I really like the guitar parts but I feel like you should be a little more assertive with your voice.

A few parts in the beginning felt like they didn't sync up well and it bothered me a lot, mainly because everything else about the song (the mood, the progressions/ arpeggios, your voice <3) were utterly fantastic. I'd pick bass back up immediately if it meant I'd be able to play with you.

...this is beautiful. I kind of like the restrained quality of the vocals.

This isn't a superhit, but more like a song you'd put on while cooling out with some friends.

You have a nice voice and I really liked the guitar composition. The only thing I didn't like was the guitar panned hard right starting around 3:00. It took all my focus away from the rest of the song and felt unbalanced.

You're great though. Keep it up.

I felt like there were basically no changes in dynamics/structure for the first 2:30 in spite of the piano, and other guitar track being introduced, making it feel a bit wooden. Part of this comes from a lack of verse chorus verse structure, but that's all good so long as I still feel like I'm going somewhere. I'd like to hear some more variation and ideas in the 'rhythm' guitar, because you can obviously play. Perhaps a little more thought to the melody as well, as some parts seemed off.

Honestly pretty durn good for a first kick at it, and well done!

KEEP AT IT!!!
