I think you've come up with a really nice musical accompaniment that really match the words of the poem.  It feels lush and comforting.  Nice work.

Your voice is kinda perfect for this song's sound. Gives a bit of classic style that i would never suspect from an M8

Dude, this is incredible! I don't think ANYONE would believe you if you told them you made this on a tracker, hahahaha.. .Fantastic work. I especially like the vocals here, great delivery.

Holy crap, is this you singing? Such a unique vocal sound!
The unusual percussive sounds give it a lighthearty energy and fit well with the lofi guitar sound.

I love your voice. Those high notes hit so effortlessly. Smoky and emotive. Cool interpretation. I always find it difficult to start with lyrics and add music after, but you did a killer job.

Lovely work. I can't believe you did it on an M8.

Such a great idea to use a poem for lyrics.

Thank you! Get Lonely is top three Mountain Goats for me, so this is a high compliment

Thank you! Getting the synth levels balanced was a series of experiments, so I'm glad it worked for you

Thank you! It's kinda fun every once in a while to treat the M8 as mostly a portastudio

Thank you! Admittedly, the drums are the trackeriest part of it

Thank you! Maybe you'll also try vocals on M8 one day?

Thank you! I'm always worried about my mixes, so I'm glad this one came off okay

Thank you! I think some of the pronunciation comes from high school choir practice

Thank you! Yup, that is me singing. I did have to comp in one note because of a vocal crack.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! The few times I've written lyrics myself, I did more of a cycle of write a bit -> improvise -> rewrite -> improvise more, so starting from finished lyrics was new to me. If I didn't have the chorus melody come to me pretty quickly, I don't know that I could've made it work

Thank you! One of the nice things about being able to stream samples from the SD card is getting to use long stems like this

Hard to believe these words are almost 100 years old. Or maybe it’s that age that gives them such weight? Whichever way, this is a lovely songs that elevates all its pieces into something better.

Awesome production, this brings me back when I was younger and my parents were listening music on cassettes they recorded, nostalgia!

Thank you! One day, I wanna cover a different Teasdale poem someone already set to music, but that's still under copyright so it won't be coming to WB anytime soon

Thank you! Was def going for that lofi/homemade sound, especially in the percussion. I wonder if your parents would ever let you sample their music

SHOON!!!!!!

SHOON!!!!!!

Also, really beautiful melody, just perfect for that poem.

Thank you! Also, I don't think I said this here, but I found out shoon is an archaic plural for shoes. Oxen, children, shoon, more words should be pluralized with -n
