hello dan. I like this, the vocals are nice and so is the atmo of the intro.
the drums needs work imo. I'm also not sure about arrangement, though I don't know the original.
much like the part when the piano and synth come in at around 3:00.
not sure, maybe you EQ the vox a bit too much? high freq?
interesting tune, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback buddy

Could you say any more about what aspects of the drums need work? I kind of tore them apart and added a separate kick at the last minute but I thought they sounded good so be good to hear what you are.

The original is just the piano that a friend wrote and I quite like the arrangement tbh, but each to their own

Thanks again

hello. I think some effects on the drums would have them stand out better. I mean the simple roll in the beginning. the dnb loop from ~1:30 sounds much better, has more clarify and definition. the piano is beautiful, maybe a bit too much sometimes, could be simplier, but that is down to taste. just had another listen, sounds actually quite nice, good work!

Thanks again Masch. Glad it has grown on you. and thanks again for the helpful feedback. Listening back with some perspective the piano could have been a bit lower in the mix, especially the more hectic bits which could have been simpler as you say. I actually quite like the simple drum roll in the intro and outro as it suits the mood but I see what you are saying
