Forum postExcellent vocals--clear and beautiful, with pretty little ornaments and touches of vibrato here and there. The instrumentation is restrained and lovely. I love where the melody goes in the chorus, really catchy and unexpected, and probably my favorite melodic hook in this set of songs. The physical details in the first verse work really well to paint a vivid picture. The only complaint I might have is the lack of dynamics across the song as a whole, though the ethereal backing vocals towards the end do help ramp it up a bit. Oh and there’s a punch-in around 2:04 that sounds really obvious (though I guess maybe it was supposed to sound that way--it sounds that way at the end, too, but is less obvious because of the BVs).
