Good use of the instruments, I liked them all!!!

The vocals are very nice and the harmonies are well. Really well!
Still I have some questions. The lead vocals worked a bit distracting in my head. I think I would have prevered a female vocal with a lower pitch. But that is my personal opinion.
The second question is about the build up of the song, or at least in certain parts of the song, like starting with "If I am cursed, I repeat my mistakes
and you haven't changed, still causing me ache. We promise each other a brighter start. Good lyrics, but you go low on those parts and -indeed- a bit dreamy.
I was wondering if it benefits the song when you go louder/higher on those parts, to create some 'tension'?

So, nothing wrong with the song, just some thoughts...

Bye,
Hans

Thanks Hans for your very lovely comment smile

I usually like female voices with a higher pitch, especially now that the singer presents a very young female.

Interesting observation about the build up. Because this is a dreamy song, I avoided tension, although I could have made the other parts more like whispered - to highlight those parts you mentioned. This section in the first verse is sad (cursed), but in the second verse it is happier (blessed), but still the melody should be the same, well it is about falling after all, abruptly or gently, so I preferred going low. But I get your point about tension and I try to remember it next time smile
