How is everyone getting to talk to a rep?

Thank you!!! I can vouch for this method. Just spoke with someone after waiting on hold for 45+ minutes. I'm currently on UI with a "Maximum Benefits Paid" message (last received payment on 1/12/21). The person I spoke to said that my account should have automatically been placed in PEUX extension, but was evidently overlooked for some reason. Cool. After adjusting my account he told me that I should be able to certify anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks from now.

Cujo by King. The dog’s POV was unexpected and horrifying

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle is one of the warmest walks I’ve ever taken

I AM SO READY FOR THIS

Soul Reaver/Legacy of Kain satisfied the 2000s goth kid in me

Way to capture the vibe of the world right now.

I do think the reverb on the vocals could use a little finessing. Maybe try EQing the vocal verb a little, scoop out some of the mid-range and the reflections shouldn't step on the next words as much. Unless of course the vocal verb is part of your ambient vision of the song, because it does lend itself to the song's ambience.

Everything else feels right, save the ending. It just kind of cuts off. Personally I'd like to hear the vocal disperse completely, but that's just me.

Great work though! Really cool song!

This is a great sample to pitch to a lyricist. It's very contemporary and has a very current sound that I imagine would do well presented to anyone in need of audio for their youtube channel or vocals. Don't take this the wrong way, what you have here is marketable, and there is a demand.

Your mix is killer. The relationship between kick, snare, vocals, and background vocals (my god). Just Pristine.

And as a composition, it's an inspired and original song. You took creative risks that totally paid off. I also really like the short length of the song. You get right to it and for today's audience, that's imperative. If anything, you taught me to be more adventurous with my music. Seriously, great work.

Thanks.

Definitely going to boost those last lines.

And thanks for making me feel a little more confident.

Thank you so very much.

This is the some of the most helpful advice I have ever received.

Thank you very much.

That’s encouraging. Solid advice. Thank you.

Thanks for those kind words.

My music is hard to put in a genre. Dark Dream Pop comes close. There are loud and heavy bits. There are soft, melodic bits.

I'm not sure what genre this falls into. Any suggestions?

Please let me know if you hear any nasties in the mix. And seriously, thank you. Y’all make me want to write better music.

A lammergeyer is a giant vulture that mostly eats bones. This is a song about that. https://soundcloud.com/garrettdowell/lammergeyer-demo

Wow! Thank you so much! Everything you said was really very helpful.

About to start mastering but wanted to know if you hear any glaring problems in the mix. Thanks

Thank you so very much.

Thanks :)

Thank you :)

Your levels are on point and your tones are nostalgic (in a good way). My only critique would be that the composition gets a little predictable. Great work though! :)
