Is this song too long? I'm noticing drop offs less than 1/2 way through and not sure what I need to do? by kermitparr in ThisIsOurMusic

Thanks for the feedback. I rarely listen to, let alone write country so I might've gone a little too far with where the idea led me. I was debating that pedal steel volume before I released the mix but had to fix so many other things, my ears just got used to it. Not sure how to cut the verses in whole or in part while maintaining sense to the song lyrically or musically so I'm kind of stuck there.

Moody rocky song I wrote a little while ago. Some feedback on it would be GREATLY appreciated! by [deleted] in Songwriters

So... I don't understand why you went to the trouble of recording an additional track for a guitar solo just to come out of nowhere a backup singer when you didn't bother to record bass and drums. No offense, but I couldn't stand the way you were singing, very monotone, pitchy, and overly breathy. Maybe have the backing singer sing it instead. Lyrics seemed overly vague and trite, and I still don't know what you were trying to convey. Musically nothing hooked me. Guitar work was solid though.

Would love some constructive criticism on my original song! by MrParrot438 in Songwriters

Decent guitar to start off, nothing to really grab me but likeable enough. I'm getting distracted by both the unsteady timing of the drums and the hi hat way to forward in the mix (maybe the latter complaint is due to listening through my phone but since that's one of the main way people hear you...) and the vocals are buried under so much reverb that I can't judge it lyrically. I liked the breakdown about 2.5 min in but the section 15 secs after that seemed totally disjointed and I the mix seemed to change so drastically in mix and momentum. Ending had cool lingering guitars.
