This is inspiring me to use voice. Really creative use of voice! Got some cool early '00s indie vibes too. Great stuff.

Ok maybe this is the year I make stuff with my voice in it too. The way the bass bounces along is really fun and uplifting. Optimistic-ass vibes in a song with such a less than optimistic lyrical theme big_smile

this is really fantastic stuff

Just did some good step aerobics to this weekly beat

So, so good...

Your vocals fit with this so nicely, and I really enjoyed the whole composition. Great work!

Awesome tune this week!  I agree with everyone else who commented about your vocals.  They're perfect for this track, very shoe gazey.

I like the energy of this track driven by the insistent beat and bass, and how the lyrics are acting as pads and support the main track, rather than being the main point of focus as usually is the case.

love that gif - thank you

Very dreamy and futuristic - love the sound design and vocal elements especially

The music has a great energy to it and the ethereal vocals work really well with it.

Excellent hopeful upbeat pace to this one.  The pulsing kick with the bass gives it a new wave sorta feel but with a futuristic sound.  I like! The effect on the background vocals is really cool.  So many visual feels from this.  Excellent!

I was expecting maybe melancholy, but this makes me want to rise up and be hopeful. Great vocal, and pads, synth. I want to go out into the world before it ends now.

I always wondered how it would happen. I'm really digging your more synth driven work.  Still carries a very human warmth riding on top of shimmering synth waves. Cool syncopated beat as well.

There are certainly worse ways for the world to end than this song.

emilyyyyyyyyyyyy

really great how the vocals did exactly what I was not expecting.  the half time swells, and then the "spoken" bits

i really wish we could play a show together.  maybe one day?
