Hi Nikola
You have a great voice and the melody is lovely but perhaps a different drum track might have better served the song (just my opinion). I also listened to your previous song. Really nice work.
Regards,
Leon

hello Nikola!
I like this a lot! Your deep voice contrasted beautifully with the intro tracks which were all in higher registers. Maybe because the language used isn't english , it had an exotic feel to it. I can imagine this being used in a movie.
The real tracks you picked for the song are perfect. You really illustrate the point that we don't always have to depend on styles to create the perfect backup band.
I listened on headphones, and appreciated the sound separation you put into the mix.
I understand the need to introduce new sounds as a song progresses in order to ramp up the excitement, and drums are the obvious choice for throwing petrol on the fire of a listener's interest. For some reason, in this case, when the drums entered the mix, the trance I was in dissipated. If other listeners experienced the same thing maybe their responses might shed some insight, because I don't know why it changed my musical mood. I can only guess there was something mesmerizing about the song (which I liked enormously) then the drums played the role of the hypnotist snapping his fingers to bring his subject out of the trance. I'd be interested in hearing a version of this song with minimal percussion or some form of exotic drums that aren't a standard drum kit. Just a thought. I'm mostly just thinking out loud, not criticizing.
I think this song is very hypnotic and that point is worth accentuating.
Having said all that... I like this a lot! Very interesting composition!

Nice!
As Pat said, adding the drums really changes the sound - doubling the tempo. I suspect understanding the lyrics would help.
Be that as it is, nice track!

Having said all that... I like this a lot! Very interesting composition! Thank you everyone... and special thanks for you Pat Marr! I can agree with everything you say... and I know what my problem is. It`s that I`m doing all of this alone, and after so much phases during developing a song: creating the rhythm section, parts like verses, choruses... writing lyrics, editing the instrumental, trying to add dynamics, singing vocals, mixing, mastering etc etc... I get tired of the song after all of this, and for some parts of the song my ears are not realistic anymore. I guess you all understand what I`m talking about. That`s why it`s important to work in a team, to have brainstorming ideas of what would suit the best for the dynamics, for mixing, mastering, editing, for any part. When you are everything (producer, technician, arranger, sound editor, vocalist etc etc) than you just get tired after at least 200 times listening to the same song. However, I`m doing all of this with love for the music and inspiration to write my lyrics and sing them. And at the end of the day I feel satisfaction to only publish my songs, to leave something behind me. Would be great to have a team and brainstorming ideas with an experienced sound editor, producer, instrumentalist etc. That`s how more "perfect" songs would arise in my opinion. Even though it can never be perfect, and imperfections makes the things beautiful, and natural as they are  Thanks again guys Love... Nikola <3
