Really enjoy your lyrics and the track vocal volume seems quiet in some parts Keep up the good work :)

the free-flowing phrasing and instrument selection made me think of The Incredible String Band

Thank you! Yeah, that might be referring to how I recorded part of the uke with an old vocal track in open air and it caught some of the echo haha, oops! Though, I think the mistake adds something strange I can't put my finger on.

I'll have to check them out! Thanks for the recommendation.

What a ride, I wonder what the story behind it is now

I love this approach - I actually like the mix a lot, it fits the song. I can hear the lyrics clearly but I have to work a bit at it which works great for the song. Recording the voice first and then matching the uke to it does this funny thing where they’re clearly “together” but someone disjointed. It reflects the personal struggle in the lyrics.

I absolutely love the flute! Haha! I would turn up the vocals just a tiny bit, but it is true that the mix really fits the song. Lovely track

Very personal and free. Cool!

Thanks!  The lyrics were mostly adlib, though the phrase was kind of inspired by how hard it can be to reconcile with those whose expectations of you do not match reality. The second strain about the cursed land has a different kind of message, i was just feeling those things at the time, weaving the two concepts together may seem strange, but it feels interesting.  I like leaving the song up to interpretation!

Thanks! I’ve always fallen short on the technical side of things, I’ll try to get better at mixing the tracks better this year.I admit I’m kind of lazy hahaha. I suppose some of the rawness though may contribute to the effect, thankfully!

Thanks! its actually a sopranino recorder! :] Thank you, I’ll pay more attention to the tracks volumes more in the future

hell yea! i’d love to collab on something

thank ya!
