Hi,
I listened to it.
I have an opinion about lyrics and how to express them in music. To me, non-native
english, they were not so clear. Keep in mind that for a radio piece of music you have
those 3 minutes to play on, on that time all should get what you mean. Further, in theatre
and music, it is important to be overclear, express yourself clearly, you might feel that
you exaggerate(if that is english) the lyrics then, but that is better than the opposite.
And maybe somewhat slower than now, because the listener has to follow, for someone
hearing the tune for the first time must easily be able to hear the lyrics. Now, as you
sing the lyrics it is self clear for you ( as you created them) what you mean, but for
someone first time listener it is not.
just my opinion, keep up the good work.

drums at all?
I did hear a very low kick, snare and Hi-Hat on very moderate volume. My
suggestion is that you do something more funky and human like.
But you should _not_ follow my suggestions if you happens to like the things
the way they are, or you just don't like my suggestions, and if this is your
style, then forget what I think. If you want to do it the way you already
have (that can be very cool), then you should probably try to clean it up and
work further with it.

Hey Greger!
Thank you for your valuable feedback, I agree with you 100%!
I will see how I can develop my skills at writing for both native and
non-native english speakers.

In general it's not so important to understand every piece of the
lyrics. I'm a non-native English speaker and often
didn't completely understand lyrics of songs I really liked. Recently,
with my new pair of speakers, I understood some words in songs that I
knew and liked for a decade. This is quite an experience :)
I think the main problem is indeed what seems to be the bass. It's very
loud and probably interferes with the lyrics in a way that they are
hard to understand. The rest of the drums I hear is a pretty quiet
click-click.
I also think that it has potential. Try to listen on it on some other
speakers, maybe some that do have bass, if yours don't. Maybe the bass
just has too much mids in the same range as the voice, or both. But
yeah, it sounds like it could be a nice summer song :)

Philipp
