The vocal stacking is such a cool centerpiece in this. I really like how the instrumentation supports it - subtle and blends so well. Really impressive.

I agree with Paisleyfrog on the vocal stacking. I like the vocals being all mashed together and panned. It sounds so full and cool.

First, this is an interesting track. I like the vocal layering and the general content. The loop you have holds things down well. I am listening on my laptop speakers so I wont comment the about mix too much.

For CC, I like the minimalism, w/o breaking that, I think you could introduce bass to build the drama and maybe some spaced out arpeggios to emphasize different points you want to hit. The ideas of your lyrics are pretty solid but, I think a bit of abstractness in some places might help make them shine. I've found this video useful for thinking about lyrics in the past. 

Generally I am imagining the production starting sparse with flourishes that come in and out that grow as the song goes on. Mirah's Cold Cold Water might be a nice example. The song is mostly just guitar and her voice but there's big production moments to emphasize the feelings and evolve the song for listeners. I don't think you should do exactly what she did but, the idea might help push what you are doing further.

Thank you! Lots of vocal stacks on this one was super fun!

Thank you! I think I need to be more aggressive with my panning but it's nice to hear people pick up what I'm putting down!

Thank you for the support! This comment is one of the most helpful, supportive, comments I've ever gotten in my music! So thank you!
