I love this composition. It's so dark and sensual. I am not a fan of my voice in it overall but its not a fault of yours...it's that this song needs its own lyrics. You've done well for using already existing lyrics, but I can do better.

Hi JJ..really nice to hear from you...I've missed working with your voice! This track needs work anyway so would be happy to collab on it if you have time. Also I am posting a lot more music on Soundcloud now due to the ease of use. Anyway as i said before really glad to hear from you.

Kind regards

Very good! I enjoyed listening to this. Very dark feel to it. Love the E.guitar coming in at 1:45 and 4:00. Nice switch up. =B-)

So, the additional detail I said I'd give.

Main bassline is pretty dark. Reminds me a little of something like Massive Attack's stunning Mezzanine album eg Angle (first track). Especially with the drums behind that bass.

Good ethereal, shimmering pads on top.

Shaker that comes in with vocals is not only a bit loud but probably not necessary as it interferes with vocals. And it's close (dry) and she's distant so it seems even more prominent.

Vocals may well have a bit too much reverb on them.

1:38 chorus good piano notes and vocals but maybe hat needs to be heavier (or more open or both)to really give the track a big lift. But what the drums are playing is fine.

2:20 good spill of the vocals into the next verse.

2:40 effective stop

3:01 good glassy shimmer

And the shaker's back, still interfering with the vocal. Try choosing a different, less intrusive drum sound to play on that beat.

3:26 I like the little synth lead. Kind of subtle and slots in well.

Fade out ending is OK. I've heard many worse but am not a fan in general of such endings. Something more definitive would be better.

Overall: I like it but probably not as much as when I first reviewed it. There are definitely things that can be improved upon so hope you manage it, after giving this a bit of space, as it's worth sticking with.

Good song, just find some of the words are lost in the efx's, like at the end
of phrases most times, it's the key word to the sentence...
At that point the true value of the lyric is lost, thus losing the dynamics it
needs to enhance the Music around it...
In fact it should be the other way around anyway...But that's my taste...
Never the less you've got some real nice flavour going on here...

Peace...TG.

Very interesting track srbrown7. Good surprise of the mixed content and the levels are sounding balanced. You got it louder with the dynamics at 4:00 for example where the sounds all come together. I can picture the clouds dividing and that bright light is the signal of greater victory. The use of the specific pella by JJW is meaningful message with your combination. That porta synth lead was unexpected but left a good thought about it. The pads/fx add that mysterious walk through shadows. The vocals mixed in is like that voice inside your head leading you somewhere. The guitar sound is powerful, pushes through that wall of doubt. Piano as simple as it is plays an important role for my listen. Thanks for sharing, Peace.

Good morning. First of all i'm liking the atmosphere you've created for the intro. The vocals are sounding nice as are the synths. Woha! It's shifted up a gear now and i've got a barrage of guitars, pianos and different synths. That was a nice change up. I know you're saying you hit a brick wall with this but it really doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you have spent a long time on it and that everything has been planned out to the last minor detail.
Really enjoyed listening to this.

Cheers FR. Thanks for the great feedback. Its always hard to find the mixdown you're entirely happy with when your'e trying to get the track loud but with enough dynamic range for all instruments to be heard! Feedback like this is very encouraging!

Excellent work! Lots to talk about here so I will give a lot more detail sometime tomorrow. Lots of vibe and atmosphere and fine vocals (no surprise from JJW) and some good rocking.

But there are some problems, such as the far too loud right panned shaker, which interferes with the vocals and other elements.

Lots of nice touches ad some weirdness too but there are a few things to fix/tighten up.

Well done yet again.

More detail to follow.

Hi SN. Yes on the shaker. I dropped the vocals in one of my last listens as it was booming so then the shaker was too loud. Iv'e now fixed that. I have also tried a flanger on the rock guitar for a bit more prominence but will await more feedback before releasing the track again. Looking forward to your further comments but glad you liked the first listen

Cheers
Steve

Nothing wrong with this Steve!

Great 'verse' with that dangerous bass than the melodical 'chorus' is exploding like a bomb...
Crystal clear mix, stunning number...
Superb!!!

Respect, Danke

Cheers Danke. Really glad it sounded good to you. It got pretty big and really wanted all the element's to be heard. The rock guitar still seems a bit hidden so I may try a flanger on it? Thanks for feedback

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.

Description : 'Main Barbaad Ho Gaya' means 'I got destroyed in loving you'. I had created this track last year. The vocals are AI. However the music and the tune is mine. Hope you enjoy this tragic love track. I was inspired by the Bollywood movie 'Saiyaara' when creating this track.

This started as a bandlab beat called Gridlock. Just mentioning in case someone wants to go get a clean version of the main backing track.
