This song is certainly not short on atmosphere, Jona. The backing track and melody are quite haunting and the lyrics fit the mood very well.
I would be interested to know which BIAB style/tracks you used in the production.

There is no easy way to learn all of the amazing stuff in BiaB, but it sure is fun. This is a good song, Jona. A pleasant feel and well sung. The thunder kind of took over my ears. I thought is was some kind of tape rumble or something until I heard the rain. This forum will definitely help with the learning curve.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Jona,
Very good tune. Vocals and composition A+. If this is your starting out with BIAB, I am sure you will make some great tracks down the road and share with us. Overall mix has excellent balance, but if you care for side opinion of non-professional, I think that nature FX from 1:50-~2:30 a bit loud. Thank you for sharing!

I missed this the first time also but I'm very glad that I caught it now. This is an excellent song. You have a very good voice. Your harmonies were spot on. I really liked your instrumentation and sound effects.

Very well done.

I wouldn't say the FX were too loud but more too indistinct... it's wasn't clear to me, in the intro, whether you'd recorded with a lot of noise and when inserted mid song only the thunder made it clear what I was listening to.
mind you I have some hearing problems.
Nice song, lovely tone to your voice when you are in "the zone".


Cheers
