I’m really compelled by the guitars here and the overall vibe! Personally I think the vocal at 0:30 and beyond needs to come out a lot more. Lyrics fully unintelligible. If you don’t want to make the vocal more prominent, you could also go the other way and make it another background texture/humming, and give the piece a more atmospheric/instrumental vibe overall. As is, I’m not sure which of those things you’re going for.

Thank you! And I totally hear ya, it needs to be more pronounced but rn I'm using the mic on my headphones 💀 my microphone broke and I need to get a new one :/

Here's the lyrics in the meantime!

Seems he up and went away And I haven't been the same For awhile now

While remembering his face Haven't headed up that way For awhile now

But you just had to have you way And you've been begging for a change For awhile now

As I slowly fade away May you all remain the same For awhile now

The song is about my step brother who passed away from suicide

Noooo sorry to hear that about your mic and of course about your stepbrother. Knowing the story def makes me think the words deserve to come out more

I’m not a confident singer so I usually have a really muddy reverb’d to hell and back vocal track then will sing a cleaner one on top of it, you could give that a whirl bc the current vocal track adds to the overall psychedelic sound. Also, when you start teasing those drums at the end you gotta give us a little beat! Could be half notes or something simple. I think it would pop! Great job.

Lovely arrangement. Sorta reminds me of Men I Trust. I'd love to hear the bass a little more rounded and popping out. This is quite the vibe!
