I already mentioned in the discord that this reminds me of 'Stay' by Lisa Loeb, but really it's only the guitar part, and also I really like that song, so definitely not a complaint! Really like the way you use space in this one, the sparser verses are really effective and the snare-heavy drums and harmonies lift the chorus nicely. Well performed and written, nicely done.

The bass in this is tasty. The programmed instruments sound good, but suffer a little from the "machine gun" effect. Looking very squarely at the snare on this one. The guest harmony vox are stellar. The use of the stereo field is good. While the song itself doesn't seem to develop much, it's pretty enough for me not to mind, and the harmonies carry my interest to the finish. With the exception of the programmed instruments needing a little variation from note to note (low pass filter freq, velocity, sample used) the production on this is fantastic. My one big criticism is that the lyrics seem like a pretty generic love song. Maybe there's a deeper story but it doesn't come across. Even so, I enjoyed this immensely.

great opening gambit, when the vocal comes in with that line, I get chills. The mood is perfectly controlled, good job. There’s a little looseness in the rhythm of the guitar/drums at 1:38 that’s distracting. Again at like 2:33 or so. The song is so good feeling for what it is, but for my taste, it stays too level throughout, and it doesn’t go as high up as it want it to, or go back down as low, feel-wise—like it’s not the thing where the tension is building and is unbearable but never breaks either, that’s another way this kind of song can work. I think it would really benefit from some more work in the arrangement. Like when the drums finally break through at the end, it’s like too little too late. Or if you’re going the building unresolved tension route, maybe there needs to be some subtle layers that add tension?

This is very nice. The story seems a little contorted.
Strength: performance, personality
Weakness: drums, obtuse narrative

The guitar is indeed very "Stay". I like the minimalistic arrangement here and the spacious-sounding mix. The delivery and tone of the vocals is stellar, but there were some slightly off-key parts that detracted from my enjoyment because the vocals are so up-front here--like something about that first high climbing "ooh" sounds a bit sour along the way, a few parts where the harmony and lead vocals seemed to clash slightly like around 01:55. Unlike Vom's kind of fast and scrappy song, I feel like the style of this song demands a bit more precision/perfection in its performances. The lyrics lean a bit vague for my personal taste, but the prosody all works really well and they have an appropriately melancholy, epic feel to them.

This is easily my favourite song of yours thus far. You can tell that collaboration is really pushing both of you to bring your A game. The lead vocal is stunning and the guitar work really makes every sparse note count with the piano chords rounding out the arrangement nicely. A few of the harmonies are a touch shaky pitch-wise and it feels like the last minute or so needs another element to enter the fray (some mournful cello perhaps?). But these minor quibbles don't detract from a song that would have people scrabbling to Shazam this as it plays over the credits of a Netflix drama.
