Vocals sound good to me.  I hope we get more of them.  The song has an appealing homespun quality to it.  It's a little minimalistic, but I honestly think that's a strength here.  I won't be turning you in to any WB authorities.  You got the job done, and that's what counts.

I like the midi-like instrumental part, no idea what it is - hanago?!?!?!?! cool!

don't worry about the vocal quality at this point, just keep cranking em cause it will get better as u sing more! good start in any case!

Thanks! I hope so too my goal is to "kickstart" my solo project, where vocals are a thing, so I need to get going. I wanted to do pretty minimal, "intimate" song, that's why it's only (sampled) instrument and a voice.

Thank you!

Yes! In 7/4. I have my own extra constraints, one of which is I only use odd/complex (or - "non common" ) meters. So no 4/4, 3/4, 6/8...

Hanago is a "guitar x lyre x kalimba"

I got it via kickstarter some time ago and never really used it. And now had idea that did fit well with it. I just didn't have enough time to not sample the sounds

Lyrics posted - updated the submission.

Thanks!

Very brave to record vocals. I’m still working up the courage. Great job !

Jaskier vibes! Glad you decided to publish vocals. This kind of lofi anti-pop sound reminds me of the soundtrack to the movie "Juno". And while we both need to practice our singing, dude, there's nothing to be shy about here. You have a good foundation to build on! Kudos.

Love the vibe on this man, feels like a very heartfelt and authentic tune. I like the chords/melodic leading & doubling too

I like the tribal/folks feel of this... I kinda have a fascination for it

Delay/reverb on the hanago would have helped it blend/float better, it's an interesting instrument!

And I didn't even notice this was 7:4, makes me want to try!

Thank you! My tip is to expect meh outcome and just go with it. It will only get better at least worked for me

Thank you!

Thank you for kind words. I think I need to also practice recording my singing but also also - I think there's a lot of "in my head" - I saw that with skating as well. Sometimes you can do a thing, but get stressed/scared and you do it worse or don't to at all.

Thank you, it was my goal to do something small and personal. Super glad I managed

Thanks! I think I will revisit hanago later in WB and will definitely try some delay and reverb on it.
Now that you've mentioned tribal/folks feel - I can hear it to. A new look on my piece
For me all the fun with odd meters is to try to hide them - at least with my WB entries
