Nailed it, I reckon, Matt. Very Coldplay, but you, not them. Fingers crossed for you.

Nice track! Totally cool!

The only thing I'm wondering about a little is whether it matches "UPTEMPO, ENERGETIC TRACKS with BUILDING INTENSITY"... It probably does but that was my only minor concern with respect to this listing.

Good luck!

Real nice piece. Good energy. I think I'd back the volume down on the git solo around :48 and 1:35; to my ears it pops out the groove a bit. Best of luck with this.

Matthew

Nice piece.

Not sure if it fits the listing perfectly.

Really like when it comes alive like at 1:35.

Don't know if the calm parts have enough energy to stand alone.

Good luck

sincerely

Nice work, Matthew!
I think the lead instruments need to blend just a notch better in the mix. Maybe lower the piano 1db relative to the mix, and the lead guit 3db.. something in that measure to my ears..

[nick.moxsom]

Good piece, Matt. Nice feel. Sounds on genre to me. My only problem is whether you've built up too quickly. Maybe you could bring the drums in later... It's very strong as it is, though. Best of luck with it.

All man, or men,

Thank you so so so very much for this feedback everyone! It is priceless. I spent about another 2 hours or more fine tuning and writing some other parts this morning.

1. lowered the overall level of lead instruments. EQed accordingly
2. fixed some timing issues with piano melody and changed one note lol
3. left the first verse and chorus the same as far as instrumentation.
4. half way through 2nd verse added B3 with leslie (low in volume)
5. rolled into last chorus with organ higher up
6. subtle string layer
7. half way through 2nd chorus - lowered organ and brought in new string part with violin and cello panned accordingly (low in mix)

NEW VERSION!!
