Forum postapocalyptic high-five! This is dramatic and well composed, I like the first two thirds of it quite a bit but I'm not really into the tempo shifting stuff at the end and the final note really jars something deep in my brain.

SpoilerSetting: a preapocalyptic dystopian hellscape. The narrator sits and watches as the red giant engulfs the earth…
I’ve sat here once before, I know,
Waiting for the sun to fall.
Its light a bright and ghastly pall,
Scorching all that lies below.
The landscape and the people sprawl
Having nowhere else to go;
I’ve sat here once before, I know,
Waiting for the sun to fall.
The plants have long since ceased to grow
We patiently remain, enthralled,
Hearing, watching, feeling all.
Ending feels so new, although
I’ve sat here once before, I know,
Waiting for the sun to fall.

The acoustic sounds better than your previous tracks. I have noticed in previous tracks it has been pretty boomy. It is still a bit boomy but not as much. I did wonder if you have either got your mic set up to close to the base of the guitar (I usually try and point it around the 12th fret) or if it is too near the guitar (I've read it should be around 15cm).
This is a really parculiar track, it feels very uneasy and unsettling which I really like. Not a fan of the end though, it kind of just ends and I and left a bit short changed.
I always seem to like your melodies. I'm always amazed at your range. I think I'd like to hear your lower register and maybe like to hear a large range being used. Sometime I think you sound like an angel (or angels.) But maybe when the vocals are layered/added they compete with each other a bit. That little progression at like 1:10 ish reminds me of a similar bit in a Hendrix song. Which was cool.
