Interesting and original.

Hello Sunny,

A nice intro with those chopping violins. The orchestra is well done especially in the transision from chorusses and verses (v.v.).
Your vocals in it were nice, but maybe you could have bring them more upfront? To me they sound a bit 'shy', although you want to shout out and tell the world about your freedom ;-)
But I liked it very much!

I liked this song a lot - interesting arrangement, catchy chorus!

Minor nits: the short strings were a bit dry for my taste (which is, admittedly, out of date). And the fade at the end was a bit abrupt.

Thanks for posting it! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Good write & orchestration...
Very pleasing to listen to
I like the beginning...
It was an attention grabber for the entire piece.

Did you use notation software to pull the composition together?

I like it.
The arrangement is well done.
I agree that the vocals need a stronger position in the mix.

Lots of work on this one. Agreed, the vocals need to be more upfront. Other than that, very nice.

Really well done - it flows really nicely, and the chorus is a big standout for me. Definitely an earworm - delightfully catchy, and I like the orchestration throughout. Gives it an 'epic' sort of feel.

Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

Nice!

Hi Sunny,

Wow!

You've done a great job with this. It's easy to hear just how much consideration you've given to the orchestration, the mixing and the presenting of this work.

It's very satisfying listening.
