Forum postI love the general sound here, although like I mentioned for Cavedwellers, I am not sure 2 guitar tracks really counts in my mind as “2 instruments.” The up-and-down-the-scale melody is memorable, although I was really wishing for a countermelody or something to come in during those parts--it was a bit much hearing that same, really simple melodic hook 8+ times. The backing vocal starting around 00:40 seems a bit flat, but otherwise, vocals are generally gorgeous as ever! I like the way you move back and forth between the different parts, with the subtly different rhythmic shifts--just where the little solo starts at 1:50 was my favorite part of the song, the shift from the riff with all its pauses into the constant strumming was really satisfying. I have to say I can’t really see what the lyrics have to do with the title, and some of them sound distractingly awkward to me--”the details are literally hazy”, “of which there does exist,” the oddly short line at “dignity”. I liked this song, but I have a hard time seeing how it connects to either the title or the challenge.
