Great song! I really like your arrangement and style here, outstanding. Your vocals are also very good, as are your lyrics. Great chops BTW.

I also agree about the ending.

You mentioned that when you render you lose the ends of your softsynths. That may be do to the fact you are rendering exactly to the end of the song and not catching the audio tails. Try rendering to a couple of measures after the end of the song and I’ll bet you will get the effect you are looking for.

Two thumbs up
